The Burden of Atlas

Have you heard the old stories of Atlas and how he was fated to carry the heavens on his shoulders? Well... apparently Atlas has moved to Buckhead and he is shouldering signage for advertisers instead. The pay is better, but, oh! the weather!

Atlas clearly takes his work seriously. You can tell by his expression that he's a professional.

He's made of tough stuff.

Over time, some parts have fallen away...

But Atlas maintains his determined foothold.

Atlas recommends that you get out of the rain by visiting the One Star Ranch on the other side of Irby Avenue. He recommends the BBQ and fries.

Irby Ave, Buck-head

This is traditionally recognized as the spot where, in the 1800's, Henry Irby built his saloon and nailed a deer head over the door so that his customers could fine him. This was clever branding before there was "branding." The brand overtook the location and, all these years later, the neighborhood is known as Buckhead. You can raise a toast to Atlas (outside in the rain) while you're there.
