This is the Georgian Terrace. It is across Peachtree Street from the Fox
Theater. I took this picture in July
2005 just before we took a tour of the
Fox Theater.
The Georgian Terrace looks like a nice joint of
dignity. It looks like a place the upper
crust of Atlanta would recommend friends to stay or have receptions, chamber
concerts and whatever else those folks do instead of using their own homes.
When I think of the Georgian Terrace I think of the
BUG. The lottery numbers before the
lottery was legal in Georgia.
Back when I was a Postal employee and worked all night I
heard a lot of night-time radio. I
remember one local radio show whose primary sponsor was
Sister Grace*.
After listening to Sister Grace* it was easily to know she
preached the gospel She loved Jesus and
all his disciples and she could quote them all to fit any occasion. Listening to her more and you know she and
God and Jesus communicated. They had regular talking sessions and they
shared things with Sister Grace*. Like
thee number up the upcoming illegal lottery numbers.
And being the Christian she was she was willing to share
those numbers with you. She was wise enough
to not to mention the BUG by name, but after so many innuendos you would get
the idea what she is trying to tell you.
All you had to do was go to a certain room at THE GEORGIAN
TERRACE and have an audience with the good sister and she would share a number
with you. She would share with you if
you would share with her, a small tithe donation, of cash was preferred. She
said it will be a number to bring you happiness and fulfill your dreams. She also said, in so many vague words that it
is not just a number, it is script number from the Bible.
*actually, I forgot her name, it may or may not have been
Grace. But the first part was “Sister”,
I remember that!
