Tight Squeeze Hippie district in Atlanta fades under development
In Atlanta's Tight Squeeze north of downtown, two thirds of the late spring hippie residents have left. Stores closed as real estate investors move in, a new skyscraper shadows the area, and plans include a luxury apartment complex and hotel near Peachtree Street. The heart of the scene on 10th Street wanes as police, crime, and displacement rise since arrivals in 1968. Margaret Mitchell once lived nearby while writing Gone With The Wind.
