    Here are additional looks for you regarding flatiron buildings.

    A post card Time Square early 1900's which is the flatiron building in your post.

    Several cities have flatiron buildings including Atlanta.

    When most people hear the name Flatiron building, they immediately imagine the iconic 22-story skyscraper in New York City. However another architect, Daniel Burnham and Company, built the Flatiron building in Atlanta four years before its New York look-alike. It is said that the Atlanta skyscraper was the first flatiron building in the United States.

    The Flatiron building was built across what is now Woodruff park in 1897, the date that is carved over the main Peachtree Street entrance. When it was erected the Flatiron building was the tallest skyscraper in Atlanta. Today its younger neighbors dwarf it, yet it is crowned as the oldest building in Atlanta.

    The Flatiron building has been born again with a new name, FlatironCity. FlatironCity has become the first building of its kind in the downtown Atlanta area; it has partnered with Microsoft to create a Microsoft Innovation Center

    I heard about Elton's public cry tantrum yesterday, I think it was. I was out in my cottage where I have his records and CDs.

    You know what my first thought was?......yup. >:)

    I've yet to do it though. :/

    I did want to play "All The Young Girls Love Alice" before I trashed them.

    @mhardy6647 you're off the hook.
    @soundfreak1 - Thanks to your timing, this is what now tops the most current page of the Post a Photo thread. Now I gotta look at this every visit until there are another 20 or 30 new posts to turn the page over again. Great. Just great. I'd take cat antlers back again.

    I've always thought that cats would be much more interesting pets had they antlers. Imagine the toms sparring for dominance in the spring...

    PS Perhaps (and I'm speculating, here), perhaps Reg Dwight (i.e., Sir Elton) did a tour with renowned bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn (requiescat in pace)-- and he was just trying to make the latter feel at home. Again, I am speculating. B)

    Makeup. Some women actually pluck them all out and draw them back with makeup.

    A little bit of music history in the college football arena. This morning, I saw this story in the AJC. I did not know about James Brown and the original record. I grew up with Georgia Tech in my head, and all I can say are the first words I learned about UGA:

    . . . . . . "To H e l l with Georgia" :D . . . . . .

    The incredible quest to make ‘Kirby’s Junkyard Dawgs’
    “Kirby’s Junkyard Dawgs” is now available for download for a nominal fee on iTunes or for free on kirbysjunkyarddawgs.net. It’s hot off the presses, as they say.

    rvkdfwxnx8xj.png

    Georgia fans certainly will recognize the chorus. The melody of “Kirby’s Junkyard Dawgs” remains very much the same as the song that has been known as “Dooley’s Junkyard Dogs” for 47 years. It was recorded by the late, great James Brown in 1975 and has been played at Georgia tailgates ever since.

    92w0clbnxi5f.png
    Dooley’s junkyard dogs; Dooley’s junkyard dogs. They’ll hit ya, they’ll knock ya, they’ll haul right off and sock ya.

    James Brown was a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan. Not only did Brown agree to do it, he said he’d pay for all the studio and distribution costs and include it on his next album.

    Weeks later, “Dooley’s Junkyard Dogs” was born in 1975. Brown would perform the tune live before Georgia fans twice, once Oct. 22, 1977, during halftime of the Kentucky game at Sanford Stadium – with Prince Charles in attendance – and again two weeks later in Jacksonville, Fla., when the Bulldogs played Florida.

    . . . . . . "To H e l l with Georgia" :D . . . . . .
