The Emory Clinic

Today, I had an appointment with The Emory Clinic to follow up on my elevated blood pressure and refill a prescription for a cholesterol medication. Simple, preventative-maintenance type of stuff. I made the appointment three weeks ago when I noticed that I was on my last refill of the statin. My appointment was for 8:15am. I prefer early appointments, because in my past experience with The Emory Clinic - the later in the day you're scheduled, the less reasonable they are about seeing you in a timely manner. I'll withhold my rant on how demanding promptness from your customer obligates you to show them the same courtesy, for fear of starting to sound like an old codger. Anyhow... The clinic I visit has moved from its outgrown location on Candler Road. I haven't visited the new location yet. I took down the address and looked it up in Google maps. Nope, the address doesn't exist. Must be a new office park. Thankfully, the Emory Clinic VRU has directions on it...

1912 Elementary School

This abandoned and boarded-up elementary school sits in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Atlanta. The school was built in 1912. The magnificent three story main school building was designed by prominent local architect Edward Dougherty. The school auditorium was clearly designed as a multi-use facility, incorporating access from the street as well as the school, a ticket window in the entrance hall, a projection booth, and a really deep stage. The surrounding neighborhood was designated a historic district by the Atlanta Urban Design Commission in 1994. Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/phreakmonkey/sets/72157652744796643
