A bustling European city?  Nope.

Downtown Atlanta (Decatur St @ Peachtree) – April 12, 1948.

I was originally looking for some cool historic pics of Decatur (a la Next Stop), however this one was just too interesting to pass up!  (Look at all the folks out on the sidewalks!  Is that a diner in the lower-right corner?  Is Burger Beer made from fermented meat?!)

Photograph from GSU’s most excellent Lane Brothers and Tracy O’Neal Collections.  Definitely more of these to come.
