Krog Street Market

This guide to Krog Street Market in Atlanta starts with a question worth asking over a taco: whose camera used to point at this exact spot? Long before food stalls filled this warehouse, Atlanta Stove Works cast iron skillets and pot-bellied stoves here starting in 1889, until the factory went quiet a century later. You'll hear how the empty shell became something else entirely in 2006, when a comedian turned filmmaker named Tyler Perry bought it for his very first film studio, rehearsing lines and rigging lights where the market stalls now stand. Look up at the old skylights and steel trusses overhead as you listen.
