I had my first visit with my new Chiropractor today, her office is in East Point Ga.
This is about 4 miles south of where I live now.
I didn't know how old or historic the town was.
"East Point Georgia, was born on August 31, 1886, the night of the Charleston Earthquake, when a small group of citizens met at the Railroad Station to form a city for the good of all concerned.
East Point derived its name from the fact that it was the eastern erminus of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad and is today a railroad transportation center.
Today, it is a thriving city of twenty five thousand population, attractive to industry and home owners alike"
ALL THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1945
This is the plaque on the pylon
I don't quite understand this monument, it seems to be referring to the keel of a ship, but I don't see one anywhere
So, all this time, I was assuming the building in the back was the VFW post that was
responsible for all these monuments; but no, that was one of the oldest Public Libraries in town and was going to be saved, the construction was the new City Hall going up

P.S. I had a short panorama video, but I'm not putting that on YouTube, and I can't get dTube to work.
My Chiropractor was closed when I got there and started all these images and video, but arrived just as
I finished all this photography

I have been there years and years ago! great travel post jerry!
Thanks @awesomemike, I'm afraid I didn't get the Steemitworld link right, but I don't know what
I got wrong.
I had never been to that part of the area; I'd been to Fort Mac (Fort McPherson, which is now a VA medical auxiliary facility) but not that part.
Glad you liked my post.
Thanks for the Resteem as well @awesomemike ♥
Seems like you have a walk down the path of history! It's nice to know the origins of places, many of them have great stories even if they seem just simple, small towns! Nice work!
I find that nearly EVERY place has such history, and it is almost always interesting.
On some level at least.
I am keen on digging, "looking under rocks" so to speak, to find out its history.
I love archaeology and genealogy.
Thank you so much for the comment @bud96
