They are called burners

I had the same thought, Tony C. but I wanted to pull them HARD.

Peaches, you can thank a prior mayor for that. When Andrew Young was mayor they tore down a lot. People were upset that character was being lost....his comment "We're building our character now". (Yes, if you hadn't guessed, even though I don't live there right now, I'm a Georgia Boy, lol. Hotlanta is in my blood. You can take the boy outta Atlanta, but you can't take Atlanta outta the boy!)

Wow.......just......Wow. Nothing else can be said.

What an industrial site! Makes me think of entering a grand train station lobby. Motts, you are such an impressive expert at taking this shots.

Rich, have you seen the PBS special about Nicola Tesla and electricity? Your comment "in the early days electricity must have fascinated and awed people in equal measure" immediately took my mind to this show and the reactions people had to Edison's, Tesla's, and Westinghouse's work.

When I consider the fact that the 'soap dispensers' were way above head when walking on the floor; but, that they appear pretty low right now... I feel really small looking at this picture.

You're not the only one, Dave-oh. It made me dizzy, too. Had to hold onto the edge of my desk for a moment.

Lynn, Big Ed, and Todd - other than Motts, the three of you are now my newest best friends! I thought I was the only one who remembered. Man, I STILL want a 'way back machine'/

Hi, I'm doing an investigation about refunctionalization of abandoned power plants, and I would like to know what is the real location of this building, because I tried to find it by myself but I could't. Please, it will be so much helpfull to me, thanks (camiloramondr@gmail.com)

Looks like there was a meeting in which everyone got super pissed at each other and stormed out!
