I took this image earlier today
The Sweet Auburn Curb Market is a historic market located in downtown Atlanta . In 1918 Atlanta established a “curb market” on land cleared by the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917. This fire decimated the Old Fourth Ward of Atlanta, destroying almost two thousand homes and leaving over ten thousand Atlantans, mostly blacks, homeless.

After the fire a tent market occupied the site.

The Municipal Market opened the doors to its new building in 1924.
Referred to as the Curb Market by locals, it houses thirty local businesses,
including produce, butchers, seafood, a full service bakery,
a cooking school, pharmacy and ten of the most popular eateries in the city.
Quoted from
"Sweet Auburn Market, the history of our streets"

The top image was from behind the counter of the one place I
Stopped to patronize, a barbecue vendor.
The rest of my encounters today are in this video.

This was awesome, Jerry! @jerrytsuseer

I really enjoyed the entire post, especially the video. I like the editing portion in particular. I have only ever used clips right from my phone, no very professional looking, so I generally skip it unless I need some added action shown.

What program do you use and is it learnable?

On another note, I go to Atlanta now and again and I will be sure to stop here as I love old markets that have a history! Also, I love its name! :) Enjoyable post!

Ah! Here in Busy I can see it all. Whew!
I did take some of this video from my phone, most using my ZOOM Q4N
Handy cam.
Either way, as soon as I get home I take images and videos off my phone
To my PC, where I use Wondershare Filmora (not free, but not horribly
Expensive; a replacement for Window Movie Maker).
There is definitely a learning curve, but it is so very useful. You can even
Do 'green screen' videos. I could video myself talking about the market
In front of a green sheet (I bought one for that purpose) and make it
Appear that I was standing in front all all that action.

I am so glad you enjoyed my video and post, thanks again for the upvote, resteem and
tip! @dswigle. Next time you're here, please let me know in advance. I live
Just blocks away from this market and would be happy to share the
Experience with you.
