Atlanta Roxy

Part of my Atlanta Icons series.

The Roxy opened as the Buckhead Theater in 1930, one of the first purpose-built for movies with sound in the Atlanta area. It would change hands several times before becoming the Atlanta Coca Cola Roxy, a place to see live music in the now infamous Buckhead bar district. The last I heard the Roxy was closed for a period for renovations and possibly a change in purpose as the bar scene in the Buckhead district was suppressed after making headlines a few too many times.
