Best Gas Price Around

Sadly, this was in the early 1950s. This old gas pump was used in an old Roswell gas station and auto shop. It's now been refurbished and sits in the pizza joint that occupies the old shop. Hard to believe the price is $.25 per gallon!

The One and Only

While not in Atlanta proper, this KFC is one of the most well-known places in the Metro Atlanta area. This is the Big Chicken! The 56 foot chicken was designed by a Georgia Tech architecture student and built in 1956. It was nearly torn down after wind damage in the early 90s. However, public outcry resulted in it being rebuilt, including the moving beak (it opens and closes) and eyes (they go around in circles).

Hey, You Can See Stone Mountain!

On a clear, and non-hazy, day in Atlanta, you can pretty much see Stone Mountain from all over Atlanta. This view is from the tarmac at Peachtree-DeKalb airport.

Well-Behaved Bird

This peacock is one of several sculptures outside the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Temple. Just like every other piece carved at the temple, the detail is amazing.
