One building in the background looks like a Mega banshee lol. Wasn't there more MDs other than Noland's? I thought there were more...

The banshee lookalike building is the Polaris Restaurant. It was made to look like a UFO for some reason

The MD locations I'm aware of are:
Noland building
Hurt Building
26th and Peachtree
Capital View School
Brown Middle School
Cleveland and Browns Mill

I guess it was a coincidence that the Noland building siren shows up most often in the pictures I find. I also know Atlanta had Model 5s, SD-10s, Model As (mounted on traffic lights) and Thunderbolts (There's a 1003 left). I guess I need to keep a sharper eye out for those sirens.

Sorry for bumping this, but I found another image to add...

Noland Building in 1964, You can see the MD that was on it.

I'll look through GSU's photo archives to see if anything turns up

Two things. There is a remaining thunderbolt at oak grove elementary school. And also I got a picture of the Richard B Russell thunderbolt trough a telescope at the sundial. Sorry for the bad quality.

Still better than nothing!

Is the complete siren up there, or is it missing parts? I think I see a blower frame... I know about the Oak Grove ES siren already. I have some pictures of it.

Looks like its all up there!
Possible. They could've mounted the blower and controls in the building, too...

All I had was my iPhone 4 and the telescope :lol:. I saw some really cool stuff like the huge rail yard along with Emory. I recommend you go there. I also thought I saw some type of Fedelcode near Grady :?:. No telescope reached it, nor did my phone.

Grady? As in the Hospital? Also, which building did you get a shot of that 'bolt from?
