Flashback Photos: August in Atlanta (through the years)

You should never introduce a new product in August, so how about something old? Perhaps 31 moments from metro Atlanta's past, captured over the decades during that most transitional of months?

Baseball in top gear, schools back in session, football workouts, campaigning politicians — those final flings of summer live in perpetuity in the AJC photo archives, including the archive at Georgia State University Library.

Don't let the past lie — buy it an ice cream cone and hear it tell stories.
