My newest article can be found in Volume CX, No. 1 of Georgia Historical Quarterly, the scholarly journal of the Georgia Historical Society and the preeminent publication on Georgia’s history.
The piece is titled “Boosterism and Civic Pride in Atlanta: Union Station and the Dixie Terminal, 1925-1930.” It looks at city booster’s attempts in the 1920s to replace the aging Union Station and to build a new and modern station. I also examine later efforts to build a cold storage warehouse on the same site. Overall, the article looks at the conflicts between civic boosters and the realities of engineering and economics.
Members of the Georgia Historical Society should now have this article in their mailboxes, and GHQ can also be read at a variety of libraries and museums across the state.
