History of Atlanta

Krog Street Tunnel: Atlanta's Ever-Changing Canvas RoadyGoat

1913

The Krog Street Tunnel is a narrow railroad underpass on Atlanta's east side, carrying Krog Street beneath the rail corridor and linking the historic Inman Park and Reynoldstown neighborhoods with Cabbagetown. More than a century old, it has become the city's best-known graffiti landmark, every surface layered in spray paint that is painted over and renewed so often that the tunnel is essentially never the same twice. It serves as a community bulletin board for flyers, proposals, and protest art. On October 22, 2014, roughly 100 people painted the entire tunnel gray overnight to protest a ticketed party the city had permitted there; the color returned within days. (Sources: Wikipedia; Atlanta Magazine.)

Mary Mac's Tea Room RoadyGoat

Mary MacKenzie opened her tea room in Midtown Atlanta in 1945, one of 16 tea rooms in the city. She's the last one standing. Every table gets a pencil and pad to write your own order — a tradition from the postwar years when help was scarce. The pot likker and cornbread arrive before you ask. It's the dining room of the South, where governors and construction workers eat the same fried chicken.

Waffle House Museum RoadyGoat

The original Waffle House opened in Avondale Estates, Georgia on Labor Day 1955. It's now a museum preserving the first counter, stools, and jukebox. The chain grew to 2,000 locations, all open 24/7. FEMA developed the unofficial Waffle House Index — if the local Waffle House is closed, the disaster is catastrophic. No other restaurant chain measures emergency severity.
