Every photograph captures a moment. Most are forgotten.
In 1927, someone walked the streets of downtown Atlanta with a camera, methodically photographing storefront after storefront. At first glance, the images seem almost painfully ordinary. A grocery store. A hardware shop. People standing on a sidewalk, unaware that anyone would ever care.
A century later, those same photographs invite us to wander through an Atlanta that no longer exists…or does it?
Along the way, you’ll discover a city built on relationships instead of brands, meet a mysterious gentleman who may have been leaving a little joke for future generations, and uncover a story whose greatest surprise isn’t found in the photographs at all.
Sometimes the most ordinary moments become the most extraordinary stories…as you’ll see on this week’s Stories of Atlanta.
