Ghostlanta :: Haint Blue

Every old house in the South has a blue porch ceiling because the Lowcountry Geechee believed spirits can't cross water. The color is called Haint Blue and the only store that mixes it by that name is a Sherwin Williams in Beaufort, SC.


Sometimes whole houses and blocks are Haint Blue because no one is shy to talk about spirits in the Coastal Empire. Atlanta may be haunted but we just ignore them.

Ghostlanta :: Rich's Great Tree

RIP a long time ago to the Rich's Great Trees in downtown and Underground. This year it's the Macy's Artificial Tree in the Lenox Parking Lot.

1949

1960s

2012

Macy's is playing if they can parade giant balloons around NYC on Thanksgiving morning but can't put up a real pine tree in ATL Thanksgiving night without dropping it thru the roof of Lenox onto the tuxedos.

(A)pocrypha :: Standing Peachtree



Atlanta rose from the ashes after it burned down, but it didn't just pop up from train tracks in the 1800s like the books say. The Creek and Cherokee Nations built Atlanta in the 1700s when the area between Bankhead and Buckhead was an intersection called Standing Peachtree.

When people make "Atlanta roads are terrible" jokes, it's because they paved over ancient Creek hunting trails. When people make "too many Peachtree Streets" jokes it's the colonists' fault for confusing peach trees with a giant pine tree that the Cherokee ritually lit on fire. And please stop making that joke because it expired when GPS was invented.
