1926 Road Segment

Arch St.
Phone:

East < GO > West

As you approach Atlanta from the north the road makes a gentle curve to the left onto the 1947 bypass. Soon after that curve starts you enter Atlanta by turning west (right) onto Sycamore St.

As Sycamore curves left onto NE Arch St. you'll see this Welcome to Atlanta sign. That's where you turn right onto a short section of the old road running northeast a block or so and ending at a gravel parking/turn around area just past the driveway to a private home.

There is a Wayside Exhibit at the parking area.

Leaving the parking area and continuing on Arch St. takes you right through downtown Atlanta. The downtown is split in two by the railroad tracks. The former Palms Grill Cafe, the Giant Hot Dog Mufflerman statue and other landmarks are on the east side of the tracks. There are also a couple of points of interest on the west side of the tracks, such as the old bank the Colaw Rooming House and the Hawes Elevator.
