Pittsburgh

Friday Jan 31, 2020
One of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods, this is the story of the people who settled it, the buildings they built and what stories these streets have to tell. Stories of rail work, streetcars, police brutality, riots, schools, churches and an orphanage...just to name a few. Pittsburgh’s proximity to the Atlanta Beltline has brought new residents and new development, so I wanted to make sure that it’s past - both the good and the bad, can be shared with all.

Cemeteries: Part I
Friday Jan 24, 2020
Friday Jan 24, 2020
Long time listeners are well-aware of my love of cemeteries. This week, we’re going to cover 6 cemeteries that may not have enough history for their own episodes, but are still places everyone should visit. Learn about the final resting places of Revolutionary War soldiers, the Father of Country Music, the creator of Chick-fil-A, the real-life inspiration for Driving Miss Daisy and where Dr. King was first interred before moving to the King Center. Also, the first community mausoleum in the South and a cemetery in the parking lot of a Super Walmart!

Housing Projects
Friday Jan 17, 2020
Friday Jan 17, 2020
Not only was Techwood Homes the first in Atlanta, it was actually the first in the entire nation, and built solely for white families. Built almost simultaneously with University Homes, which were for black Atlantans, BOTH of these projects came at the destruction of already existing settlements of extremely poor African Americans. Today, we’re going to start with Atlantans earliest slums, what they were called, where they were, who lived there and then move into the Great Depression, the New Deal and who was behind this idea for public housing.

Friday Jan 10, 2020
This story ends on March 11, 1879, around 6:40 pm. Lt. Col. Robert Alston lay dead on a sofa inside the home of Dr. Tabor, over on Decatur Street. He had been shot in a duel by his close friend, in retaliation for going against the prevailing beliefs of his time. Today, I am going to tell you about Alston’s life and how is ended in this tragic way.

This week, I'm tackling a much-requested episode on Decatur. Starting with dinosaurs and heading to the early 20th century, listen in to learn about the streets, people, churches, schools and neighborhoods that make this city was it is.
