Final Installment of the Atlanta Speedway Saga

Candler Field, Late 1920s

And I’m spent. What started out as a five-part series about the history of the Atlanta Speedway became a six-parter, and part six is finally live.

Candler Field Becomes Hartsfield Airport connects the timeline of the closure of the Speedway to the migration of Emory College to Druid Hills, and explains how Atlanta became home to the busiest airport in the world.

Now that I’ve finished this mini-series, I’m going to start working on individual episodes in Asa Candler, Jr.’s life and adding them to the site bit by bit. Stay tuned, the most entertaining tales are still to come. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any stories, ideas, or questions about the Candlers.
