I recently lucked into an amazing BIG collection of old Atlanta - Georgia - and Southeastern USA matchbooks. (The photo above is just a very small portion of this collection.) Some neat ones here!

My wife and I dined at the Lion and the Unicorn restaurant in 1982. The food was delicious and the service 1st rate. The after-dinner coffee was so good. Well worth the price.
Great memory! I remember going to the Lion and Unicorn back in the 1980's too.
My exhusband worked at the Country Place in 1978-1979 to earn money for my engagement ring. His gay coworkers wanted to be our bridesmaids at our wedding but my mama nixed that, remember this was 1979! My sister worked at the Magic Pan while she was at GA State. I would ice skate at the Omni then pop in Burts for a cocktail-made me feel very sophisticated. How lucky you are to have this memorabilia from Atlanta, my birthplace and home for many years!
What great stories from the 1970's! Thanks for sharing these. I loved the Magic Pan ... and ice skating at the Omni!
