Re-post of my Decatur Time Machine from July 2008

I had to do a repost of my Next Stop...Decatur Time Machine post from July 2008 after seeing the Mayor talk about Decatur this morning on the zip trip visit from CBS channel 46 Better Mornings Atlanta show.
I'm so glad someone looks at my Time Machine photos.




Pythagoras Masonic Temple Building

Notice that both pictures have Decatur cops,
coincidence, you be the judge.

106 East Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur. This building, constructed in 1924, was originally built to serve as a Masonic Lodge. The official name of this building is the Pythagoras Masonic Temple Building, at least according to a sign on the northwest corner of the building.

Today, the Masons still meet in the building, on the third floor. The first and second floors are rented out, however, and among the tenants are Dekalb County's Dispute Resolution Center and the Temple Gallery, which is run by the Dekalb Council For the Arts.

This is what I said on July 2, 2008

Take a look at Glenn's Pharmacy, that looks so classic. What they should do is restore that corner of the building back to look like that and have another pharmacy in that spot with a lunch counter, if they did that it would give that area alot more attention. I think Decatur needs to connect the new section of stores down towards Ted's Montana Grill with the old section of Decatur, something needs to be done to make a better transition between the two areas.
