Greetings!

I have been waiting for the Internet to provide this project for 12 years!

I was there in ’69. Tried the Orange Sunshine, stayed with (biker) johnny Reb, next door to the catacombs, up the street from white columns, Ate Thanksgiving dinner in Piedmont Park before being returned to my home.

Spent much time on the strip between 1970 and 1972.

“Worked” at the community with Gypsy (biker) Vick (hippie) and Crystal and many others.

Then the bikers had a meet and the charter changed and Gypsy was replaced with Chains

Remember Bongo and Steve (the guy with the big cross)

Sunshine (was that Bonnie Raitt?)

Spade Bob, Poet, Runaway Richard, Mary (The Bridge) Flower and the other folks who lived in the apartments under the Salvation Army Girls Lodge (127 or 1127 11th street)

Jd, chili dog charley, smokey, marvin gardens (how could I forget that name,ever)

Here are a few places I didn’t see mentioned

General store (down 10th st. next to the alley)

G.B.’s an awesome restaurant for us (corner of 11th and peachtree after the Drag club closed) owned by Golden Boy I finally figured
