1969 aerial photo of the "Grady Curve"

This 1969 aerial photo offers a spectacular view of the "Grady Curve" portion of the Downtown Connector, named for the wide curve the road takes around downtown as it nears Grady Hospital, a tiny slice of which is visible on the picture's right edge. Seen in the lower right corner is the Heart Of Atlanta motel, about which more can be read here and here.

This photo comes from the Atlanta History Center's outstanding photographic archives. Thumbnails of many more aerial view photos can be found here.
