I just love this place. A reliquary of Cabbagetown history, @thepatchworkscabbagetown has everything. Cotton bags from the time before plastic, audio interviews, videos, photography spanning over 100 years, mill artifacts, #panoramaray and other original art... Thanks for making this center happen, Nina & Jacob. I’m excited about our collaboration with @tnsatlanta #artandhistory #cabbagetown #atlanta #historymemory #milltown #cottonmill #roots (at The Patch Works Art & History Center)

Today in #Cabbagetown we hung out on the porch of #CabbagetownPatch for a bit, then we began collecting for a city #reliquery 💎 It was no surprise that so many things picked up had to do with construction #citychanges #historymemory #gentrification #takingnotes #ThePatchWorksArtandHistoryCenter #topophilia @tnsatlanta (at The Patch Works Art & History Center)

The original 👁 🔎🔛 I#Designclass #neighborhoodexploration @tnsatlanta ... We’ve continued recreating vintage shots in #Cabbagetown ... This one is in front of the old #YMCA (now a private residence) on Carroll Street. I remember it well and knew exactly where to send them (approximately- they still had to search for the precise spot) The original b&w photo is from the #GeorgiaStateArchives and the young man pictured is William Roberts, captured by photographer Bill Mahan in 1979 #fultoncountyboysclub ##historicreenactment #thenandnow #1979 #2018 #topophilia #thesearethepeopleinyourneighborhood #urbanexploration #historymemory #milltown (at Cabbagetown, Atlanta)

Walking the perimeter of #Cabbagetown as we practice looking, listening, and collecting ideas and stories. M tells us about #shotgunhouses / under the #Marta train on #DekalbAvenue as we near the railroad tracks that were destroyed during the #battleofatlanta / these #railroadtracks used to go somewhere #historymemory #cabbagetown #knowyourneighborhood #tnsatlanta #designclass #publicart #communityart (at Cabbagetown, Atlanta)

The ice has melted enough to get back out in the world. My friend and co-worker @tnsatlanta went exploring/manifesting. This year, #sweetauburncurbmarket turns 100 years old! To stand where MLK Jr. bought apples as a boy. I probably haven’t been there in at least 25 years. What a waste of time. It’s a great place to grab a cup of tea, load up on fresh veggies for cooking, scarf down a South African pie, and watch #thelearningkitchen do their beautiful work (plus grab a fresh baguette and some apple butter)... just sayin’ #atlantahistory #historymemory #sweetauburn #sweetauburnmarket #connect #preserve #collaborate (at Learning Kitchen Atlanta by Preserving Now)
