Update: The Great Mule Mart Drama

It’s high time I start sharing some of the entertaining events in Asa Candler, Jr.’s life. I have a list to cover, but up until now I’ve been stymied with indecision over where to start. I was stuck thinking I had to go chronologically, but really wanted to start with my favorites.

Today I got over it and decided to just start wherever I was inspired. And what inspired me today was an event I call The Great Mule Mart Drama of the 1920s. It can be read on its own, but reading the saga of the Atlanta Speedway will provide some insights and show how history repeated itself throughout Asa Jr.’s cycles.

Buddie Stories are inherently more subjective than the timeline section of the site. After so much research and so many data points, I’ve naturally drawn conclusions based on what I know. So prepare for editorializing, and feel free to contact me if you disagree with any of my conclusions or if you feel I’ve misrepresented Atlanta’s history.

I hope you enjoy reading my Buddie Stories as much as I love telling them.
