3 Atlanta Downtown/Oakland/Cabbage Town with Mavic 3 4K Drone
- Thread starter Kccumm61
- Start date
In the 80s and 90s, I renovated a house and lived about a half mile from there, in Grant Park. I drove past the textile mill every day on my way to work. I arrived not long after the mill shut down, and many of the folks that had worked there were still living in Cabbagetown. People had been recruited in the mountains of north Georgia to work there. It becase a somewhat separate and close-knit community. That old English-Appalachian accent was still there in the 90s in the way people spoke.
If you're interested in the history, look up a photographer I met there named Oraien Catledge. He spent a lot of time in the community and got to know people well. They called him the Picture Man. His photographs are haunting. His stories were even more so. An Atlanta musician named Shawn Mullins wrote a song about Cabbagetown, too.
The rolling mill that was originally on the site was destroyed during the Civil War. The textile mill, built in 1881, was the first textile mill in the south.
It was an interesting community. It's changed drastically in the past 30 years. All the tiny mill houses have been rebuilt and turned into high-class intown homes and the big mill building was converted to lofts that are filled with aging yuppies and GenXers.
Thanks for a current view.
