I took this years ago from a window by the big clock of the latest Cobb County Courthouse.. Like all pictures, it is the subject matter that is the important part of the picture. But in this case it is what is not in the picture. The Clay Homes is not there. You can see the old Greyhound Bus Station that transformed itself into a unique shaped lawyer’s building but not the Clay Homes. They had been bull dozed away and left a vacant lot. But now yuppie replacements dwellings have arrived.
I know a bunch of people who spent their formative years in the Clay Homes. When they bulldozed the Clay Homes they bulldozed away an important part of our lives.
It was sudden Gentrification.
