The Peach building acts as a landmark for anyone driving I-85 south into Atlanta.
But the well-known structure along Peachtree Street has had a tortuous history, including spending many years largely empty.

When Mark Zoran drives one of his replica cars, it’s not uncommon for fellow drivers to gawk at him.
Sometimes people ask for photos. Once, while he was driving outside of Atlanta, another driver stopped beside him to take a photograph of his car.
