Pecanne Log’s ‘The Making of Modern Atlanta’ recaps are required post-turkey reading
Learn a little something from the History Twins without watching them at all!
Since August, local blogger, doll-head collector, and CL confidante Pecanne Log has religiously recapped “The Making of Modern Atlanta,” the impossible-to-find, eight-part Public Broadcasting Atlanta series from the 1990s about how the metro region became the sprawlish and quirky mess we know it to be today.
Hosted by Tim Crimmins of Georgia State University and Dana White of Emory University — affectionately known as “The History Twins” — and produced by Chris Moser, the episodes explore metro Atlanta’s transportation, politics, boosterism, and other issues that have transformed the region since the 1940s. And they make them interesting!
Unlike other recaps, we, the readers, most likely have no clue what the hell’s happening during these recaps, probably because none of us has ever seen TMOMA. No worries! The mysterious Pecanne Log includes delightfully awkward screencaps and commentary. (And really, isn’t the fact that the series is hosted by “The History Twins” enough to convince you to check it out?)
Pecanne Log posted her recap of episode six this morning. It — and every single other post — are worth reading. You can view ‘em all here. (Scroll down to the bottom for the first episode, “The Buck Stops Here.”)
