This 1971
photo looks south along Peachtree Street, packed with
cars, pedestrians and retail establishments, toward Margaret
Mitchell Square and, in the distance, Five Points.
That's Peachtree Street on the left and Forsyth Street
branching off to the right. The lower photo,
via Google Maps, shows a much less energetic street
scene. Photo credit: Dr. William A. Wood, courtesy of
his son Andrew Wood. To see how things looked
from this perspective in 1961, head over here.
And I should point out that this shot is almost identical to another of Dr. Wood's 1971 photos that was published a while ago here on the ATM. Google map
