From the venue:
In the wake of those raucous beginnings, Atlanta’s Decatur Street rose to prominence during the early part of the 20th century as an African-American entertainment district. It was ground zero for the early Atlanta blues scene. Decatur Street had a bustling collection of bars, pool halls, dance halls, music halls, theaters, bawdy houses, barrel houses and blind tigers — much like Beale Street in Memphis or Storyville in New Orleans.
