‘Tales of Downtown Atlanta’ weaves history with creative storytelling as a love letter to the city

Atlanta has a remarkable history, and the new audio-intensive project “Tales of Downtown Atlanta” shares that history alongside creative storytelling.

Part podcast, part art exhibit and part old-school mix tape, “Tales of Downtown Atlanta” aims to become an audiovisual anthology of Atlanta. The project features short stories written, voiced and visually amplified by notable Atlantans who offer a spirited tour of our historic downtown locations.

Sundiata Rush is the creative behind “Tales of Downtown Atlanta,” and he joined “City Lights” Managing Producer Kim Drobes to elaborate on his vision of stirring civic engagement and introducing the world to Atlanta’s soul.
