Atlanta-The Beginning and End of Public Housing.wmv

Atlanta, Georgia is the birth place of public housing i.e. Techwood Homes. Atlanta is also the first city to raze all of its public housing- exception Martin St Plaza (Summerhill) and Westminster (Piedmont Rd). Up until the Olympics 1 of 9 people in Atlanta lived in a housing project. These apartments are an extreme improvement from the neighborhoods that once stood in the same place. These projects are a part of Atlanta's history whether we like it or not. I couldn't fit in the highrise public housing so I will make another video for those. Also I left out other Fulton County projects...like Kimberly Courts and Boat Rock. Not to mention all the projects in our brother cities: East Point: Creekside, Hillcrest, Oj Hurt, Martel Homes, Washington Carver...College Park: Red Oak...etc. Decatur: Swanton Heights, Allen Wilson Terrace, Toby Grant ....etc. We came into this world with nothing and will leave with nothing- none of us had a choice of the life we were born in to. If you love your projects and you are proud of where you are from then good...those that live in other cities should recognize where it all started, Atlanta, Georgia. If you hate the projects because of miscellaneous reasons and negative stereotypes then fine...still thank Atlanta. Two apartments I wanted to mention are Tucker Homes, I called them Richmond Circle or the Sawtell Ave apartments, I did not know they were projects but they were listed under Atlanta public housing-they have been completely renovated- and same with Wheat St Gardens, I thought they were just apartments but they also were part of the Atlanta public housing at one time. Atlanta has publicly and privately owned projects.

@jmoney31705 I guess you missed my Cleveland and Sylvan Rd videos? open your eyes. I'm not a transplant and don't live in Little 5. You want me to hit you up with the next location I hit so you can express your feelings? I will be hitting Chappell Forest off Chappell Rd tomorrow and then I am hitting Camp Creek Pkwy. I'm looking forward to seeing that AR and the face behind these wack comments.

What made u decide to do all this?? I'm glad u did so you can show all these "ATL Immigrants" the real pre '96 side.

[terminuszone1]

@mqc1298 Man when I was school at Georgia State I noticed how much the city was changing- I would drive through Capitol Homes every day and it got torn down before I could get pictures so I vowed to get as many hoods as I could. I was also seeing first hand the effect of the gentrification and how it affected those close to me. I want folks to know the REAL Atlanta. Also it's kind of like a memorial to the fallen hoods so folks can remember them after they are gone.

@mqc1298 I feel like folks get the wrong perception of Atlanta....like it's all nice and glamorous and I want folks to know that this city was built by the hands of the working class people who lived in tough conditions-folks that worked hard to survive.....before the projects it was worse. I hate when Atlanta is misrepresented and folks act like Atlanta wasn't shit until after the Olympics. I'm glad you like the videos.
