Last night I had read an AJC article about the 40th birthday of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta. I decided to ride down there with my dog at 9:30 pm. Atlanta sits on top of a tall hill. I have seen old pictures when homes were in this area. I tried to imagine how it would have looked a hundred years ago. The main street of Peachtree runs the length of the hill's crest. On one side the water flows to the Atlantic and the other flows to the Gulf. Downtown is weird because of much concrete and steel and glass..or the lack of grass and trees. No deers live there. I did not see any possums. One time I did see a fox downtown. He was in an empty lot near North Avenue. I saw herds of 30-somethings walking the city blocks. They must have been out on the expense account. They seemed lost. I wonder how many people from Atlanta live downtown. I would imagine it is mostly tourists and business folk. Maybe soon I will go down there and take some pictures. It is quite difficult to take pictures vertically while you are driving in a horizontal fashion. I imagine a lot of rats and cats live downtown. My grandpa used to catch cats at home and release them on Spring street. I am sure there are a lot of cat children now.
