Grant Field & Lenox Square

Stopped by Grant Field late Saturday afternoon as the sun was setting.

Picked up a cheap ticket and grabbed a Calvin Johnson bobblehead.

Tech gave out ten thousand bobbles, but with seven or eight entrance gates, my gate only had this one pallet of bobbles to give away.

The Jackets were staging a whiteout, so they painted the end zone letters and GT at midfield white. With the temperature dipping into the low 40's,
I didn't mind having to hit the road to pick up Ceil at the airport.

Walked back through the tunnel under the downtown connector,
up Ponce de Leon past the Fox Theater.
Would've stopped by the Varsity but I was carrying the bobblehead.

Thought I had time, so I drove through downtown Hapeville to the original Dwarf House. But before I came in Ceil called, ready for me to pick her up.

Reid showed me this aerial view of Lenox Square, taken in 1957.

He used to play sports on the oval shaped field near the bottom.

Near the bottom right he saw the train carrying the body of Franklin D Roosevelt from Warm Springs to Washington.

Below: I am probably wrong, but I think the house on the left was the house my mom grew up in, at the corner of Peachtree and Stratford.

Below: zooming out a little, with my mom's house to the top right,
Reid grew up just down Peachtree on the road at the lower left (Park?).
Second house on the left.

Thursday night I picked up Okie,

then Anna came home to work a shift a Madewell.
