Remember Treasure Island? It made Walmart look like a drug store, LOL!
Who remembers the gas storage tanks exploding and burning for days? It was quite a sight at night.
I remember Treasure Island, and then the conversion into one of the original Home Depot stores. That was “my” Home Depot, and the new location of that store at Tillie Mill still is one of my two main HD’s.
I don’t remember the tank farm fire, that must have been before I moved to Dunwoody.
The only reason I’ve ever found myself in Doraville for any length of time is that the Ham Radio Outlet store is in a little strip of shops on Buford Highway a few miles north of 285. That’s the only way I know of the Baden Baden Hof...there’s this huge sign for it along Buford, in Korean and English.
Other than HRO, there’s no reason or desire for me to ever go to Doraville, trust me on this. :) My wife grew up in Gwinnett County (Grayson, near GA 86) and has family outside Roswell, and that’s the extent of our attachment to the ATL right now.
