CARTER MULL

PONCEY HIGHLANDS, INMAN PARK, CABBAGE TOWN, 1977-2010;
LA FEMME AU PERROQUET, EDOUARD MANET, 1866


— Georgia Baptist Hospital is on Boulevard in the Old Fourth Ward of Atlanta. The Ward was home to Martin Luther King Jr.’s SCLC among many other outposts. I was born at this hospital and brought home by my mother in 1977 to Inman Park, the neighborhood just blocks to the east. The city was my home until age 19. Most of my hours wiled away within a few zip codes all on the east side of town—liberal pockets in, at that time, a Dixiecrat city.

It was my early metropolis, another side of Paris.
