To celebrate my 500th post on this forum (and 08/08/08), I decided to upload some pics I took of the King Center and Freedom Parkway on a BEAUTIFUL Friday afternoon.
Here we go...
Plaza entrance
Civil Rights Walk of Fame
Gandhi Statue
Park Entrance on Auburn Avenue
Downtown from Sweet Auburn (not a widely photographed view IMO)
Ebenezer Baptist Church (MLK Senior's Church)
The newer Ebenezer Baptist Church across the street
The King Center
The tomb of MLK Jr. and Coretta Scott King
Old Fire Station #6
Shotgun houses on Auburn Avenue
Some cool examples of Auburn Avenue architecture
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Birth Home
Plaque on the walkway
The modern Downtown Atlanta Skyline from the Home's front porch with shotgun houses in front (nice view!)
One of my favorite vantage points of Downtown (from the Jackson Street Bridge)
New construction to the left of the previous photo (I forgot the name of this development)
Allen Plaza and North Avenue clusters from Jackson Street, coming into their own
City Hall East on Ponce (former Sears warehouse)
And some shots of Freedom Parkway (taken while driving of course)
THE END (for now)
