In 1887, in preparation for the Piedmont Exposition being constructed at what would become Piedmont Park, the "Tight Squeeze" was eliminated by filling the ravine and straightening the course of the street. By 1900, Old Peachtree Street had been renamed Crescent Avenue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149223951182991145.post-65191375382628337202009-02-12T10:31:00.000-05:002009-02-12T10:31:00.000-05:00i wasn't posting clearly.
