Today’s mystery is an unusual obelisk in the middle of the street in….where? See if you can figure out this mystery, and what it signifies. Send your idea to ebrack2@gmail.com, and include your hometown.
In the last edition, George Graf of Palmyra, Va. told us: “This is a photo taken in Decatur on North McDonough Street looking down towards its historic Courthouse.” It was sent in by Chuck Miller of Duluth.
Others recognizing it were Mark Smith, Eatonton; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Joe Hopkins, Lawrenceville; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, who wrote: “The electric trolley was run by the Georgia Power Company, which operated an extensive streetcar trolley system serving the Atlanta Metropolitan Area in the 1930-1950s. According to a Chamber of Commerce publication, they were handling approximately 200,000 passengers every day during the early 1930s.”
