For years he lived up at the corner of Johnson Ferry and Shallowford Road in East Cobb County. He would put topical and political signs, hand painted, up in his yard from time to time.I saw them.
My then girlfriend's family was one of the first to move into the Atlanta Country Club sub-division off of Paper Mill.
I used to get there by taking a left off of Riverside Drive and waiting for cars to pass on the ONE LANE bridge crossing the river on Johnson's Ferry LOL!

LOL - Atlanta's changed a little bit, hasn't it? You can always tell an Old Atlantan by the way they make reference to where this or that "used to be" -
I used to take Roswell Road up to go to sleepaway summer camp at then Camp Chattahoochee (where the Chattahoochee Nature Center is now). We crossed the river on Roswell Road on a ONE LANE BRIDGE. There was also a one-lane on Paces Ferry at the river (where Robinson's Tropical Gardens used to be - my mom and dad hung out there as young marrieds.) All those bridges were identical green riveted truss bridges - must have been built by the same company.
