Krog Street Tunnel

This guide to the Krog Street Tunnel in Atlanta starts with a name almost nobody remembers: Frederick Krog, whose nearby foundry cast cast-iron skillets and stoves shipped across the country. It traces the tunnel back to nineteen twelve, when the railroad cut it through so millworkers could cross between Cabbagetown and Inman Park, and follows the factory's run for nearly a century before its closing left the tunnel to the graffiti writers who still repaint it week to week. Look closely at the brickwork on your way through, and picture the millworkers who once walked this same passage on their way to the foundry.
