Story: Piedmont barely remained independent in 1907 election, known as City of Millionaires

Smart little example of the Piedmont fleet snapped in August 1987. Piedmont operated the 'regional jet' between Buffalo and Philadelphia in the 1980's.

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.

Shot from the hip at 90 degrees to the right as I was facing the wall shown in the left of the image. Done without looking through the viewfinder or Live View so I feel lucky that this got composed the way it did. The first shot missed completely as I was walking up from the right of the image across the street as I was seeing this scene quickly unfold. My favorite from my first try at street photography but the sunlight was going away quickly at this time of the day.
