My father was the architect for the old Buckhead Sear’s. Hopefully, buried somewhere in his papers and photo collection, are some good photographs of that store. Steve, let me know how I can send them to you if they are there.

Is this still an active site? I’m researching my newest book “Atlanta As a Small Town: Stories of Growing up Southern” I grew up in Peachtree hills, with the Piedmont drive-in, Mooney’s Lake Amusement Park, Broadview Plaza and much more. Just curious if you or anyone commenting perhaps have pictures of those areas in the 50s and 60s? I’ve gotten quite a few pictures through Georgia State University. My first book “Burlington Northern Adventures: Railroading In the Days of the Caboose” is about my years as a brakeman, conductor and trainmaster working freight trains throughout the West. It starts with me and my childhood friends hopping freight trains in Atlanta. I loved my years with the railroad, even though my 1979 seniority date was in Grand Forks, North Dakota with the Burlington Northern. Boy, was it cold up there! If you get a chance, check out my website at http://www.bnrailstories.com and my blog Trains, Law, Movies and More at http://cabooselaw.blogspot.com/ ( you can also just google “cabooselaw”) And check out my actor listing at the Internet Movie Database. I play a disgruntled railroader in the Timothy Hutton/David Strathairn movie “Heavens Fall” All the best, William Brotherton

Hi Amber,

I don’t, as you might surmise, check this page that often.

Oxford has long been gone, both the one on Pharr road and the one which was replaced by a garden store at Peachtree Hills.

Such a loss.

There is an Oxford comic store on Piedmont, and although they have knowledge of the previous owner, were unwilling to share anything with me.

I feel sure the owner would have photos, of the store, or his architech, now dead, would have taken some.

Just a memory to me now, but a pleasant one.

Why are you asking for pictures of Oxford Bookstore…? Isn’t it still around? I’m confused…

About 24 years ago, at Toco Hills Cinema, you (a guy) saw someone who looked like you, so much so that you and that person were in shock.

It’d be nice if it could be done before 2030. I’ll be 78 years old then, and while I’m sure I’ll enjoy riding it then, it would be nice if Glenwood Park had some public transit other than the Number 9 bus, which is being slowly garroted.
