Sevananda

2025/01/31

With my new bi-weekly format, there are two ways you can do this; a rolling schedule or what I did, which is say that the podcast will be out every first and third Friday. That means that a few times a year, we have months with 5 weeks. January is one of them! So I thought I’d bring you a shorter, but fascinating topic to cover this bonus week. Today, we’re talking about Sevananda, the natural foods co-op in Little Five Points that just celebrated its 50th anniversary. This is a story of an Indian

This week, we’re talking about Atlanta’s Veterans Hospitals. When I first put this topic on my list, I thought I’d be covering the 1960s-era hospital that is still operating over on Clairmont Road, but I was surprised to learn we had several other variations and the history of caring for veterans in Atlanta is over 130 years old.Want to support this podcast?

2025/01/01

Happy 2025! I started this podcast in September of 2018 and if you told me then I would be here recording in 2025, I would never have believed it. Over six years and over 250 episodes later, I am finally making a material change to Archive Atlanta - and that’s format. We’re starting off 2025 with a new, bi-weekly format - that means twice a month - the first and third Fridays. So much has changed in 6 years that I also thought it’d be fun to record a new introduction. Want to support this podcast

Cheshire Bridge Road

This week, we’re talking about one of Atlanta's most famous thoroughfares - and no, it’s not Peachtree Street - it’s Cheshire Bridge Road. Each time the city debuted a new thoroughfare, so began the promotion of its caliber and residents. Streets and avenues like Peachtree, Washington, Edgewood and so on would wage the battles of maintaining its status as an upper class section. As Cheshire Bridge Road has made the news recently because of the fight against adult businesses, it was interesting to

Carnegie Libraries - REPLAY

2024/07/12

This week, I am re-releasing an episode from waaaay back in August of 2019, all about Atlanta’s Carnegie Libraries. It's not only a story of where we keep books, it’s also a story of gender, power, race and access to information. Before the age of technology and the internet, books represented knowledge, and knowledge is power. Keeping that power away from people has been a tool used by the ruling party since the dawn of time. Libraries are a physical link to that power struggle and help us tell the

This week, I am covering one of my most requested topics, the Science & Technology Museum of Atlanta, better known as SciTrek. I didn’t grow up here and so I love hearing people’s stories of classic Atlanta memories or experiences that really defined their childhood and one of these is definitely SciTrek. The way that current Atlantans reminisce about and their stories of school field trips, etc., makes me wish I could go back in time and experience it. So today we’re talking about the idea of a
