Musical Museum & Arcade in Underground Atlanta
By Kermit Hobbs

When my wife and I were vacationing in the summer of 1970, we
visited Underground Atlanta.  We visited a museum of mechanical music
there, where I had my first exposure to the world of mechanical music.
I was fascinated by the ingenious machines and the great music they
played.  Nearly half a century later, I'm still hooked.

I visited Underground Atlanta some years later and found the
museum was gone, to my dismay.  Does anyone know anything about the
Underground Atlanta museum, how long it lasted, what instruments did it
have, what happened to them, or anything else that would take me back
to that time?

Thanks!
Kermit Hobbs
