krazeeboi 177 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 I just ran across some really interesting, insightful information about the history of the preservation movement in Atlanta. We often bemoan the architectural losses that the city has suffered through the years, and this gives some background information. I thought some of you guys would find it interesting as well.

krazeeboi 177 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 The article that I referenced above actually says that the city at one point was going to demolish the Fox Theater. Of course, I find that reprehensible today, but what condition was the theater in? Anyone know? I also didn't know that the establishment of MARTA had taken out so many historic structures. I wonder if that was the case in DC as well with Metro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krazeeboi 177 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 ^Thanks for that information. The Fox would have been a great loss; I'm glad it didn't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
