Atlanta, GEORGIA - Mammy's Shanty Restaurant - ADVERTISING: Mammy’s Shanty was located on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, and presumably was also a meeting place for local businesses. It thrived in a city that, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, was not unlike many other towns and cities of the South. One resident writing years later noted that it was much the same as it was before WWII. Drive 40 miles outside of Atlanta, he wrote, and you’d be in farmland. Another noted that among its mainstays were two major department stores, Rich’s and Davison’s, and on Saturday nights, the downtown area was deserted. The shanty closed in 1971, followed by most others like it. Those regulars from the 1950s wouldn’t recognize the city now. This Advertising Photochromatic postcard is in good condition.
