Memorial Hotel, Stone Mountain

The Memorial Motel, pictured on the postcard below, is now known as the Memorial Inn and can be found at 6255 Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain. It's easy to forget but before America was quite so safety conscious, there was a time when swimming pools without chain link fences surrounding them were everywhere. Given how easy it is for toddlers to fall into a pool and drown, the fences make sense. For whatever reason, in this case the owners decided to do away with the pool altogether rather than fence it off. Photo via What Makes The Pie Shops Tick on Flickr.com. Google map
