“From Southern Grits to Holiday Glitz.”

That’s the theme of a holiday store window display representing Atlanta on the Times Square set of “Good Morning America” this month.

Mayor Shirley Franklin unveiled the display live on the show Thursday morning.

Atlanta was one of three cities chosen this year to decorate a window on the GMA set. The others with displays this year are Kansas City and Denver.

Atlanta’s display features various city icons or traditions — the Georgia Aquarium, the state Capitol, the New Year’s Eve Peach drop, the Pink Pig train ride, etc — set on a base of snow-white grits.

Student singers from the private, nonprofit Ron Clark Academy provided a musical backdrop for the unveiling.
