Atlanta Cyclorama, and 360 Degrees of Barbecue

On our second full day, we scrapped the plans for Stone Mountain and went to the Atlanta Cyclorama. This was because of a combination of bad weather and certain people thinking other people would fall off the cliff face. The cyclorama is a unique type of historical display, a screen or a scrim hung 360 degrees around the public featuring some kind of vivid depiction. In this case, it's of the Battle of Atlanta, a meeting of Union and Confederate forces on July 22, 1864.

First, however, was a visit to the gift shop.





When I landed on Tuesday, I lamented the lack of barbecue during the first ten minutes of my Georgia stay. The state has more than made up for its initial lack of swine. Just a block or two from the King Center is Rolling Bones BBQ. Check it out:

Boom!

On our third day, on the way to Stone Mountain, we stopped at Crazy Ron's. Here are the results:



I need rehab.
