ATLANTA.

ATLANTA.
MRS. J. L. G.. AIexGndriG)
8 Regarding Atlanta. Ca. may
I OFFER this little bit Of infor-
nation which comes from
three delightful years spent In
that area. We lived In Q SUBJ
urban section to the northeast
Of Atlanta, called Brookhaven,
which Is as friendly town as,
Hou could hope for. There are
several garden-type apart.
tnents situated In Brookhaven.
Many new housing develop
fnents are in evidence and were
Constantly being built up. (We
lust left there in October,
1859.
New schools are constantly
Being built and old ones are
being enlarged. The school
ftandards have a high rating.
Atlanta Is known as 1.-THE
City Of Churches" How true
that isl They have beautiful
Structures and there is q wide
selection for all denominations.
The city Of Atlanta is a Joy for
many reasons. Rich's. the
South most modern and pro-
greSsive store. offers the tops in
department store buying, and
Davison's offer competition In
shopping facilities. Concerts.
plays, opera, or whatever you
like in entertainment are at
your fingertips, and there are
many historical sights to see.
! My husband now misses the
public golf courses. Atlanta
has SO many to choose from
and all are excellent and mod
erately priced. Believe me.
my husband misses those
weekend golf sessions. It was
90 easy and convenient. Now
he has to drive several miles
even to flnd q public course.
Also, available in Atlanta
(which my three children miss
dreadfully) are many public
pools. They are modern. clean.
well kept and q definite JOY to
children! The whole family
will miss those visits to North
Fulton Park Pool.
The climate is q dream.
Wonderful winters, and in the
summers, while the days get
hot, the evenings cool down
with a delightful breeze be-
cause Atlanta is situated so
high above sea level. Atlanta,
without doubt, is the fastest
growing city in the South. It
has everything to offer. You
should be very happy in your
location. We, New Jersey ma
lives, were taken with the
warmth and sincerity Of the
Atlantans. We adopted Georgia
Is our second "home" State.
