The Siren Board

What did they do with the MD's? I know they sold the thunderbolts to Cobb county.

No sir. DeKalb's Tbolts went to Cobb, I have no clue what to happened to Atlanta's old ones. I'm 99.9% sure they scrapped them.

O.K. If you know of any sirens in Atlanta I will be going on a hunt there next week and possibly catching a test at Emory.

PM me. I have some locations, if you want them.

Sorry to bump this, but I found this in a gubernatorial video for Carl Sanders. I think this is at the state capital building, but I am unsure. The FS sign is to the right of Sanders (black suit).

Sorry to bump this topic, but a good ol' ATL native *cough*Brendan*cough* found a former Model 5 mount.

It's located on top of an abandoned building at the intersection of Alabama & Forsyth.

Yay thread bump. You can shoot me later.

It's finally happened

Me and Will found a CD siren left in the city besides the Altec Lansing setup on the Aarons Building and the Federal Building Thunderbolt. In West Atlanta, at Holly and Andrews, an SD-10 stands. We do not have pictures at the moment, so a screenshot will have to do. Stay tuned for more:

Now that is an awesome find! Definitely going to drop by there and grab some photos next time I'm in Atlanta.

That'd be cool, however being an Atlanta resident, I'll warn you to be cautious of West Atlanta. That's a very bad area to my understanding. Not trying to derail my own thread here but giving advice.

To make sure we're still on topic, I forgot to post what I think is a Model 2 or 5 tower on Alabama St. Here it is. If there WAS a siren here, it was probably replaced with the 1003 on the Federal Building which is only a handful of blocks away.

What Brendan said.

Being a lifetime ATL resident myself, I'll just say that you'd better watch your back as the SD-10 is not exactly in a safe neighborhood.

West Atlanta, especially places like Bankhead (where the siren is located) are notorious for being crime infested areas.
