The tour - part 4

Going east on Roswell road you come to the Big Chicken at the intersection w/Cobb Pky (US 41). Turning right to south into Atlanta, you pass through a prosperous area, cross under a major freeway (I285), pass through an even more prosperous area. As you go down a long hill the road narrows. Sidewalks and shoulders go away. There is a narrow bridge over a stream, the Chattahoochie river, four 9 foot lanes.

During the years 1979-81, a series of murders of young blacks, some children, occurred in Atlanta. This river is one of the places where bodies were found. A person was convicted. See the links below for more information.
