Named for the famous Spanish explorer who was said to have
discovered the Fountain of Youth, Atlanta's Ponce de Leon Avenue
began as a simple country road that conveyed visitors to the
healing springs that once bubbled along it. Now, as one of
Atlanta's major commuter thoroughfares, few motorists realize that
the Avenue was a prestigious residential street in Victorian
Atlanta, home to mayors and millionaires. An economic turn in the
twentieth century transformed the Avenue into a crime-ridden
commercial corridor, but in recent years, Atlantans have
rediscovered the street's venerable architecture and storied
history. Join local historian Sharon Foster Jones on a vivid tour
of the Avenue-- from picnics by the springs in hoopskirts, to the
Fox Theatre and Atlanta Crackers baseball, and the days when Vivien
Leigh and Clark Gable lodged in the esteemed hotels lining this
magnificent Avenue.
