This prominent main entry to Atlanta coming from the west says it all with an outstanding sign.
Atlanta’s public high school and other facilities succeed in giving a warm acceptance with flowers,greenery and soft lighting.
Citizens National Bank has succeeded in creating a timeless art work of its new building.
Could any building front say it better than this one for the Atlanta schools district’s band program that reaches so many students? It requires its own building. And its name says it all.
“Welcome to historic Atlanta.” Several prominent business corners and small parks in the middle of a block try to tell the public Atlanta’s concern not just for business but also for its citizens and friends.
Atlanta’s city hall with lighted flag and bank in the background makes the impression that citizens are going to be courteously and well-treated here.
It’s not likely there is a prettier entrance to a town’s business park than this one just off U. S. Highway 59 coming to Atlanta from the west.
The lights of Atlanta are a beautiful sight
Maybe Atlanta should have a tour of lights. There’s not another town close by which looks so nice, especially at night.
One has to look, however. Things are a bit spread out. Still, if one were going to take the visitor around one evening, there would be plenty of clean, colorful and lighted spots to point out. Here are a few.
1. The town’s name signs coming into the area. City hall, business park, one city under God on U. S. 59. The town’s founding date and welcome 2. Schools, band hall, football stadium and coming baseball park with career building.
3. Then, there is veterans’ plaza, the railroad depot now museum and chamber, two pocket parks and several businesses who make art work out of their front windows. Crema Coffee is special for coffee, too.
4. Add the Nazarene Church’s steeple, First Baptist’s circular stained front window, CHRISTUS St. Michael-Atlanta’s mother and child lawn monument, City National Bank’s elegant new building at the Main Street railroad crossing.
Tell the visitor about all the festivals, parades, markets and salesmanship efforts which shopkeepers make to reflect the town’s history of being a marketing center.
Don’t forget the town’s brainy center, i.e., its brick library with classical stone columns, welcoming flowers and weeks of interesting and inviting community gatherings. Stop by the town’s circling major highway, U. S. 59, and it’s busy offering of necessities of life.
Here are six photos taken at night of Atlanta’s beauty. There’s more but this is a rewarding effort when one makes the effort to look.
