From the men who chartered the companies and the mules that pulled the cars to bitter feuds, boycotts and labor strikes...there is a lot to share about streetcars in Atlanta. They created several of Atlanta's neighborhoods and structures that are still around today.

As the world is in chaos, my hope is that, at the very least, I hope it can be a way for listeners to escape the news cycle and take a mental break. After 1890, black Atlantans were barred from park or recreation spaces in Atlanta. This week, I am sharing the earliest stories of the African American fight for park space, who led these fights, where some of these places were and how strongly they were fought against by white Atlantans.

My goal is to get people to think deeper about everyday places. Whether it’s where you live, where you work or where you play...if it’s in Atlanta, and it’s not brand-new, it has a story. From the first white settler, Victorian health resort and later amusement park, this week we're covering all things Ponce City Market. If you've ever patronized restaurants or rides here, you'll be surprised to learn that their names almost all come from Atlanta history.

In 1934, W.A. Scott was a hugely successful entrepreneur, with a publishing empire and a brand-new 4th marriage. As he pulls his car into his garage one late night, he is shot by an unknown assailant. One week later he'd be dead. We may never know who killed W.A. Scott, but this week we're talking about his life, why someone would want him dead and who was charged with the crime.
