I remember the greasy spoon Totem Pole Restaurant in the old Western Union Building at 33 Marietta Street.
I just looked on the map and that Waffle House is in a relatively new building that replaced the falling down factory and warehouse buildings there when I first started working downtown forty years ago. On my drive into work from Marietta, I went down Marietta Street every day and parked in the parking lot next to the railroad tracks behind the Western Union Building. I walked past the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation building loading docks to get to Number One Peachtree Street, The First Atlanta Bank Building. It was a different time back then, walking out of the building after working a midnight shift, looking at Woodruff Park coming alive with the sun shining on everything. "Resurgens Atlanta" was still a thing.
The customers are probably an interesting mix of crazy street people and Georgia Tech students.
