Even Seen here is a 1940 photo
of Atlanta's Labor Day parade up Peachtree Street. We're
looking toward the Piedmont
Hotel, now the site of the Equitable Building. In
the distance, we see a pair of Atlanta's most celebrated movie
theaters, the Loew's Grand and the Paramount. It looks
to me like the photographer who captured this image was
leaning out of a second story window in the Flatiron
building.
All the
buildings on the right side of Peachtree Street are long
gone, demolished to make way for what's now known as
Woodruff Park. Photo via the Georgia State University
