Thanks for "clarifying" the situation.  Four competing payphone

we don't have four competing airlines at Hartsfield. :)

Poor Hardy Ivy!  Now nobody will remember him. 

The 51 Ivy Street building was a sorry victim of the 1984 breakup of
AT&T.  The court literally divided the building in half.  AT&T got

     *Woodland Hills/Peachtree Battle
     *East Lake/Decatur
