first served at Jacob's Soda Fountain on Peachtree Street near Union Station in 1887

UNDERGROUND ATLANTA
Viaducts built over the railway lines between 1920 - 1929 created a
"City beneath the streets".
From 1930 - 1969 Underground Atlanta lay dormant.
In 1969 it was rejuvenated and opened as an entertainment centre.
Today Downtown and Underground Atlanta have become the vital "Town Centre"
where people come to meet, shop, dine and have fun.
