At 152 Nassau Street in Downtown Atlanta, an unmarked two-story rose brick storefront houses a piece of Atlanta's music history. This was the site of a pop-up recording studio in 1923.

"Recording executives from New York came down to the South to record jazz, gospel, blues and country music," architect Kyle Kessler says as he stands outside the building.

Kessler is part of Historic Atlanta, a preservation group trying to stop the planned demolition of this building to make way for a Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville high-rise hotel restaurant.

listening to 'everyone's gone to the movies' makes me think that jimmy was inspired by it when recording 'margaritaville.' which is the superior song, for sure -- it's not at the same level but it's sort of a 'deacon blues' for key west.

I hope everyone here is aware of the terrible movie "Club Dread," which features a washed-up singer whose song "Pina Coladaburg" was written and released slightly before "Margaritaville," and was eclipsed by its fame, and it's a very sore point.

want to be clear that I was responding to the thread premise and garbled my sentence. margaritaville is better than kokomo for sure, not everyone’s gone to the movies.

Kokomo is obviously the superior song.
