Ok, I’ve been out of town for a few weeks, and a few weeks more. But haven’t been slack on the research. At the moment, am looking over the shoulder of Archeologists that work with the Mountville project south of Tuscaloosa, AL, where the Unv. of AL has custody of the Woodland period mounts there.
In the meantime, have been mining the resources of old Atlanta Constitution files, and found a few interesting articles – notably the announcement of construction of the “Paces Ferry Track” in 1929 displaytrack_pdf ; and description of “Iceville” (the other resort) on the Chattahoochee . Also, found a sketch of the R. M. Rose distillery at Gilmore (where they rebuilt after the Stillhouse location burned).
More later…

I grew up on Woodland Brook Drive where my parents bought a house in early 1963. We NEVER considered ourselves as residents of Vinings because Vinings was where the post office, pavillion and railroad crossing was.
My dad went to Bert Adams Scout Camp as a child and lived near Vinings/Oakdale for most of his 84 years. I went to Teasley School and attended Brownie Scouts at the pavillion when it was down by the railroad.
