 Atlanta-Northeast, Georgia

 By 2002 Phil discovered that nothing was left save the 1980s HJ sign which now advertises the Salvation Army. Mr. Edwards must have missed the destruction by not too many weeks when he took the above shot.

The image below shows just how high the road level has been increased, and finally at bottom Phil notes, "the Gate Lodge was where the Salvation Army pseudo-church is now."
 
 
 

Having recently driven through the area I can attest to the fact that it was an awesome location to catch the passing motorist's eye--today it's hard to miss the Salvation Army temple as the Interstate makes a slight bend forcing the building to momentarily fill the driver's frame of reference. The site would have allowed just enough decision time to make a quick exit for an enjoyable meal or a restful night of slumber...
