I assumed that the discharge from this toilet was originally set up to just vacate out to the tracks. Then later it was modified to discharge to the holding tank. When we removed all this bathroom stuff it was a surprise to find that the toilet never had a discharge opening in the bottom and the floor was never drilled out to allow a straight drain to the outside.
On February 22, 2019, Atlanta History Center opened Cyclorama: The Big Picture, featuring the fully restored cyclorama painting, The Battle of Atlanta.
At the centerpiece of this new multi-media experience is a 132-year-old hand-painted work of art that stands 49 feet tall, is longer than a football field, and weighs 10,000 pounds. This painting is one of only two cycloramas in the United States—the other being the Battle of Gettysburg cyclorama —making Atlanta home to one of America’s largest historic treasures.
In the 1880s, The Battle of Atlanta cyclorama painting was an immersive experience—the equivalent of virtual reality today. The painting is a full-color, three-dimensional illusion designed to transport the viewer onto the battlefield. Cycloramas were created as a form of entertainment—they were the IMAX of their time. The painting was a visual story about the 1864 Battle of Atlanta, but over time it has evolved into a significant artifact that has its own fascinating story. Now, the historical journey of the painting itself is part of the ‘big picture’.
Created at the American Panorama Company in Milwaukee by 17 German artists, The Battle of Atlanta cyclorama took five months to create before it debuted in Minneapolis in 1886. Painted 22 years after the Battle of Atlanta, the painting originally depicted the battle from a Northern perspective as a heroic Union victory so that it would appeal to Northern audiences. When the painting relocated to Atlanta in 1892, it was slightly modified and advertised as “the only Confederate victory ever painted” to appeal to its new Southern audiences that maintained Confederate sympathies. The 1864 Battle of Atlanta was not a Confederate victory, and most of these changes from 1892 were reversed in the 1930s.
Visitors will now see The Battle of Atlanta cyclorama painting as it was originally intended to be viewed—an experience no one has seen or felt in nearly 100 years.
Atlanta History Center uses this restored work of art and entertainment, and the history of the painting itself, as a tool to talk about the ‘big picture.’ How can perceptions, memory and interpretations be shaped, or mis-shaped, by a combination of art and entertainment, myth and memory, cultural context, and current events during different eras?
Through exhibitions, rare artifacts, historic images, immersive technology, digital resources, videos, and museum theatre, visitors are encouraged to look critically at a range of Civil War imagery and consider how images and entertainment can shape how we see history.
Using historical evidence, Atlanta History Center highlights the painting through a variety of lenses and experiences designed to offer a 360-degree perspective of our shared history through Atlanta’s largest painting, using Civil War imagery as a tool.

Former residents of Soliman in Agdao, Davao City rebuild their houses at the relocation site in Los Amigos, Tugbok District on Wednesday, 3 August. Around 200 houses in Soliman were demolished following a court order in favor of the land owner. It can be recalled that the planned demolition last July 1 triggered tension between the residents and the demolition team, inciting Mayor Sara Duterte to punch Sheriff Abe Andres who enforced the demolition.

The stormwater basin at the Morley Galleria is going to be moved so they can build more shops. It will also completely block off the bus station. Great work guys!
Mackinaw City, Michigan, is one of the two gateways to Mackinac Island (the very expensive, yet worthwhile, summer getaway in the Straits of Mackinac).
The other gateway is St. Ignace, but I always preterred Mackinaw City. It's on my side of the Mackinac Bridge and feels more like an extension of the island. Everything is fudge shops, souvenir ships, and the slightly tacky. It's wonderful. And it's also the much cheaper alternative to staying on the island.
As far as tourist sites in the actual village of Mackinaw City (yes, it's a village, not a city), the most known (and worthwhile, in my opinion) is Fort Michilimackinac.
This fort is where the British originally set up shop and it wasn't so much a military outpost as it was a fortified trading post. When they decided to relocate to the island (building Fort Mackinac), they razed this fort completely.
As such, what you have here is a recreation which does its best to be as historically accurate as possible. They've been excavating since 1959. This fort is different than the fort of my first visit (in the 1970s). My biggest memory is the stockade that was on the ground. That's no longer there. I also don't recall so many buildings.
In its current presentation, I think it's a fine historical site. If I compare it to Fort Mackinac, I think this one is much more engaging (with folks in period costumes talking about life there and what have you) than Fort Mackinac. It's also a dollar cheaper and has a fine museum/gift shop.
Immediately next to the fort is the Mackinac Bridge -- though this is NOT a tourist site. It's just great photo ops. You can stand under the bridge (directly behind the visitor center).
From there, it's a short walk down the beach to Old Mackinac Lighthouse which, I think, charges $6 admission or something along those lines. I've been in before, and once is enough. It's worth the $6...just not worth repeatedly paying that. The views of the bridge from inside the lighthouse are nice, but the views of the bridge immediately in front are equally pleasant.
Other than that, there's not much in town except for shopping for souvenirs, getting sugar highs from fudge, or eating pasties. The (Hunt's) Mackinac Pastie (& Cookie) Company on Jamet Street, immediately west of I-75, is fabulous. They have limited hours, though.
If you cone up to the area to go to the island, spending a day and night in Mackinaw City is a good choice if you can spare the time.
