When leaving some of the most northern metro Atlanta suburbs, there’s a good chance of you approaching an abandoned 15-story high-rise circular shape building that is abandoned. Most people can't figure out the name of the building or what was actually used for. Today we will go over the history of this iconic landmark at Spaghetti Junction.
This video is based on a Popular Article I wrote back in 2016 titled “Presidential Eyesore of Spaghetti Junction - Atlanta”

Good location for a newly built condo and office tower. That mold is probably running rampant now, like the roaches and rats that are living there rent free. 😬

I was gonna say, with all the mice, rats and mold, it'd probably be better off tearing it down and starting over. The mold alone would harm the elderly who have weaker immune systems anyway.

I agree! I believe the structure is a total loss and too tall for senior housing. Maybe a mid rise mixed development use.

I didn't know that place was still standing! In the late '80s, a local Atlanta swingers' club used to hold their monthly socials there. Perhaps they were lured by its neophallic design.

Thanks for commenting! It's still standing and deteriorating very badly. I'm unsure what's going on with the current redevelopment of this.

@@undergroundretail That place was a landmark when I moved to Atlanta in 1979. It really stood out because there was no Spaghetti Junction then--to get onto I-285 from 75, there was a "Take Gap/Give Gap" sign at the overpass.

I think we should leave it as is. Nobody else is ever going to want it and if somebody does demolish and build another building, that one will also have problems and be left forgotten and the cycle continues. In time it will deteriorate and fade away into nothingness, leaving behind space for vegetation.

I think at this point given its location and condition, it would be better served to demolish it then to try to repurpose it for yet another use.

This should be Spirit Music Ministries world HQ. we would put studios, office space, and suites in and refurbish and re-open the club on the ground floor. I would love to know what you can find out about the industrial spaces on the same block.

Since when documentaries state people's opinion? It is true that Vincent Lu did not pay his share of the bills, but I was an administrator there and the bad reviews are not fair and they're speculations and opinions. Did any of the previous residents mention that they were many months behind on paying their rent?

@@undergroundretail I just make it, not installations. I'm far too old of that, lol. I can make a 50ft long roll of that heavy galv in just under 20 minutes for 8ft, and 12 minutes for 6ft. No one wants to learn, and it takes years to master it, so I'm still in high demand. ;) We used to be located in Smyrna, but since relocated to East Point, near airport. That stuff sells for over 50 cents per sqft, so it doesn't get left for rookies to run.
