Get Ready for Storytime

The main site is complete, references and galleries and all. So what comes next? Next we start having fun. I have a whole new section of the site to roll out that will contain entertaining stories about Buddie’s life. These will be more episodic in nature, sharing some of the incidents that shaped him as a person and Atlanta as a city.

I’m starting with my favorite era, the Atlanta Speedway. We’re going back to 1909 to talk about what inspired the track, how construction played out, what the opening event was like, and how it all fell apart. After that I’ll get into some of the zoo drama, his magic years, and some theories about how he managed—and mismanaged—his money.

Stay tuned!
