Piedmont Park near downtown Atlanta has a long history of horse racing. Dr. Benjamin Walker sold his land to the Gentlemen's Driving Club (later known as the Piedmont Driving Club) in 1887, and the land thus became home to an exclusive club and horse track. The Piedmont Exposition took place here in late 1887. In 1895, the Cotton States and International Exposition opened here, with the track oval being converted for the expo. An ad for the 1902 Interstate Fair indicates that 6 horse running races were held here. Fairs were held here until 1905, but a newspaper ad indicates that Bobby Walthour once again raced on foot against a trotting horse here in 1911. Motorcycle races were held on the horse track oval in 1912. The Piedmont Driving Club lives on today, although without the racetrack, whose footprint can still be traced as a jogging path within Piedmont Park.

Jefferson County. View of the Piedmont area, along the Piedmont Road, south of Whitehall. Located along the Milwaukee Road on the east side of Pipestone Pass, Piedmont took its name from its location at the foot of the long grade (“pied” is French for “foot”). It was once the location of a Milwaukee Road electric sub-station; only the foundation of the building remains. Piedmont had an active post office from 1910 (February 8) to 1923 (January 15). Mary Finn was the first postmaster.

It's common to see wedding photography taking place in Atlanta's Piedmont Park during this time of the year. I snatched this shot while my wife was protesting and putting some distance between herself and me.
