Liz, someone else wondered about the holes and did some research, here is what they found: A little side trip from yesterday's journey. The "Pipe Corner of the South" sign is a downtown landmark, in part because its survival is so unlikely: it belonged to Royal Cigar, which was a downtown fixture for decades. It moved up to Buckhead in 1991 (later moving over by Emory, then going out of business in 2005), and somehow the sign was left behind (not sure why -- the one 1991 AJC article I found indicated that it would be removed). And no one's seen fit to remove it in the intervening years, which is very un-Atlanta behavior. Some web research indicates that those holes aren't bullet holes -- there were neon bulbs depicting smoke rising from the pipe.

Great pictures everyone,as usual.And JODI thanks a million for identifying that flower.One of my neighbors grows it,and i stopped a few weeks ago and asked if she knew whatit was,she didn't and i've been trying to find it since then.Did you touch it?? The petals feel almost rubbery,but it looks like crepe paper close up. I gotta find it now and plant some,Love it,thanks again Kathi
