The Trough of No Value and Atlanta History Links We Missed
Written on February 16, 2009 at 3:01 pm, by Lain
This week while we were busy navel gazing and doing non-blogging work, we missed some cool things on the internet that you might like. Ready?
- The Trough of No Value: what happens to stuff during the dead zone between brand spankin’ new and historic preservation? Whatever it is, it applies to stuff and humans. Like, say, Joel Chandler Harris who probably isn’t quite out of the trough just yet. (Via the magically delicious liberal arts 2.0 blog kottke.org.)
- Hobbyist Looking for Home for Empire: scaled replica of Atlanta is now in a southwest Atlanta basement. We’ll take it! And then probably leave it outside. Better not. (Via jamieg on Twitter.)
- Atlanta Time Machine: my favorite website, profiled in the AJC. (Via Terminal Station, who provides unrelated but no less fantastic historic maps.)
- Crawford Long No Longer Crawford Long: renaming something in Atlanta in the name of marketing? Nope, I don’t believe it. At least they’re not tearing down any historic buildings. Oh, wait. (Via Decatur Metro.)

I go to CL for a few different doctors and I had no idea who it was named for either until I read the article. But the fact is, hospitals are businesses, so if a name change will help them, I say more power to them. I’d rather that happen than it go under and I lose having a bunch of Drs. so close to where I work.
