- Atlanta, Georgia - 57th Fighter Group Restaurant
I spoke with someone at Peachtree Dekalb Airport 5-26-2009 and he believes the owner has a new tenant to run the restaurant. He said it might reopen Labor Day but wasn't sure. Let's hope it works out.

Totally awesome and astonishing. Definitely worth a drive-by.
[Lauren Adasiak Cocilova, 01/27/2014]The 65-foot-long Great Fish has been astonishing visitors since 1995.
It appears as though the Great Fish is beginning to turn into a bluegill. The bronze has begun to turn blue over the years.
[David, 11/01/2013]The Great Fish has been out in the weather since 1995. We prefer its oxidation to what would have happened to a real, 65-foot-long fish.

Yes, these places all seem to have the checkpoint gate, vintage ambulance, and battle-cratered building.
