tenth street

that's a view east on tenth at peachtree, c. 1950 --- it's kinda cool that there will be a grocery store again at peachtree and tenth, although everything will depend on exactly how prissy it wants to get in order to meet the standards of the so-called midtown mile --- by the time tenth street (then bleckley avenue) was opened between monroe and peachtree in 1890, there was already the genesis of a commercial district at the intersection, including a grocery store at the northeast corner --- the early-twentieth-century commercial core that stretched from peachtree place to fourteenth street was almost totally demolished in the last quarter of the twentieth century and is being only slowly recreated for the twenty-first century --- walking crescent, juniper, piedmont, etc. reminds one of what might have been had the very core of midtown not been razed, with large parts of the land remaining undeveloped for over twenty years ----
