More signs from Memorial Dr, Glenwood Ave, Candler Rd, Moreland Ave, and Bouldercrest Rd. The first image is a hidden gem from a run-down, industrial stretch of Memorial, and features beautiful paintings of individual objects that were apparently for sale in the building at one point. Dont miss the six foot tall wrench in between the two doors in the second photo. Today it is apparently either out of business or used for something else.
One of the best examples of the city's tradition of the fully adorned daycare center. Many daycares in Atlanta feature brightly painted exteriors, hand painted images of popular cartoon characters and other school/learning-related imagery, and large, bold, fun type. Prestigious features all these, plus the hand painted type seems to even continue into the interior, with 'Small Minds Big Achievements' visible inside the building on the photo. The funhouse mirrors as front windows add to the excitement, wonder, and toy-like quality of the building. I can only imagine anyone who attended this daycare would be left with such a strong and surreal memory of the place for probably their entire life.
