A city our size in a region so colorful never gets dull if you keep exploring. I lucked into a job that lets me do that sometimes, and I’m constantly wandering into places and artifacts I should know, but don’t.
No more! I’ve got access, so I’m asking questions, and you’re coming with me. We’ll make it a game.
Every Wednesday, I’ll post an image of something from around the metro area and ask you to identify what and where this mystery photo was taken. It’s just one point in our region, perhaps well-known but under-appreciated, or tough to spot without context.
I’ll reveal the answer at 4 p.m. Thursday, then share the story behind it. We’ll learn something, and get a little background about a new place to explore.
It’s our first week, so I’m posting a bonus image, too. We’ll talk later about whether it was too much detail, not enough or just the right amount to keep you curious.
For now, what is it and where is it found? Share your guesses in the comments or on Twitter @insideaccess!
UPDATE: Think you guessed correctly? Here’s the answer.

Yep, it looks exactly like that ball transportation system at Imagine It, which is a fantastic place to take your kids to play. You just need enough adults to keep track of the kiddies, as they will go in all different directions.

I don’t think it’s enough background info. As large as Atlanta is that could be any number of things. Maybe we can narrow it down to a general area in the city or whereever.

Kids Museum Ball Mover… I don’t remember seeing a name on it, but it has cranks & pullies to move balls from one location to another with a large hopper that fills up & then they can dump.

It is in the Childrens Museum Imagine It. Not sure what it is called but you move the balls through the tube and wire systems.
