Phoenix2018 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES

FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS

PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies

he idea that a city is a place to perfect an individual is an ancient one. In a true city, there will be the cooperative community, resources, and circumstances to aid the indi- Tvidual citizen in reaching and realizing his maximum potential. Te citizen attains virtue and this worth, in turn, becomes an asset of the community. Last year we celebrated the ladies who invented preservation in America and discussed their use of preservation as a means to hold up models of civic and national virtue to serve as guides to virtue and to elevate all Americans. In an environment where preservation is justifed almost exclusively by proft potential, the origins of our preservation movement may seem anachronistic. It is the resonance of the past and the evocation of past virtue which may be the broad-based appeal of historic material and reference—the sense of the true, the historically reliable, the secure sense of place. Tis year our Keystone Awards celebrated gentlemen who followed the classical tradition of demonstrating virtue through contribution to their community. Our heroes have made these actions through the wide scope of preservation in Atlanta. On pages 4 and 5 you will see the range of these gestures, proof of virtue in our City. We hope that you will enjoy our presentation of Phoenix Flies events this year and will express your appreciation to our many partners for their eforts.
