Moonlit Jazz

In front of Margaret Mitchell’s apartment on 990 Peachtree Street

Have I ever mentioned that I’ve read Gone with the Wind four times?

So of course, the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum was on my to-do list on Friday. It’s actually been awhile since I’ve read GWTW, but it is still one of my favorites. The tour was cool. The tour guide told us stories about Mrs. Peggy Marsh and her family and we got to stand in The Dump (as Miss Peggy called when she lived). She lived in number 1, which was on the bottom floor and it was there that GWTW was written. We walked through the modest digs and it was a little eerie to think that this was where one of my favorite novels was written. Very cool.

After Peachtree Road, we headed out to Phipps Plaza for a bit of shopping. Phipps Plaza is quite posh! And as it was a workday, it wasn’t too crowded. I ended up buying two purses (ye gods!). We had a bit of lunch as well before going back to Norcross for the wedding rehearsal.

One of these days I’ll catch up. 😉
