I had no idea about the Carnegie library – unfortunately, “demolished in the 1970s” seems to be the name of the game around Atlanta.

Robb Pitts is a fool, along with the rest of the Fulton Co. Commissioners. You can bet that they’ll sell the library out to make that quick cash. As for tearing down the downtown library (should have left the beautiful Carnegie Library- http://atlantatimemachine.com/downtown/carnegielibrary.htm -up in the first place!) I just don’t see northside Fulton Co. taxpayers, or anyone for that matter, going for it.

Clint, you’re right – as long as the Streets of Buckhead project is on, that developer will be after the land the library sits on. He’s already offered to rebuild the library in the same design at another location so he can demolish the current one, which indicates HE CLEARLY DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUSS ABOUT THE BUILDING WAS OVER IN THE FIRST PLACE.

[...] Sigh. They’ll probably sell it and turn it into a Starbucks. Oh, wait… maybe a plot of grass? [...]

I here the Buckhead Library is back up on the chopping block. Thanks to that vigilantly politician who thinks its ugly, and the gobs of money being thrown at him by investors. I think their tactic was to take it of the table long enoungh for everyone to think it was saved and then rush it through. My feeling is that it will be torn down for sure.
