>>890233cable car at Stone Mountain, Ga. the carvings are of the leaders of the Confederate States of America; Robert E. Lee for sure, I think Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson and one other. anyway, it's a beautiful park and I recommend walking up the trail, it's on the opposite side with a gentile slope, there's lots of trees and cool outcroppings. We rode the cable car down because my friend's old knee injury kicked in after we got up there.
It was really cool. the lady "driving" it gave a little presentation and could field questions. the side it's on is steep and the drop-off made it exciting.
also, the surrounding town is now majority black (lots of central asians, too) and that's mostly who goes to the park. a whole meadow of folks sit for the laser light show projected over the carving of CSA generals. if you aren't from this area, it might seem odd that easily half or more of the spectators are black, but it's a fun family thing to do and people here don't get bent out of shape about history. not that they're Uncle Toms by any means, they're just over it, is all.
