Description: Remembering the wonderful Rich’s Department Store in Atlanta, Georgia. Rich’s began in Atlanta in 1867. In 1924 Rich's moved into its flagship store at 45 Broad St. SE, which it would occupy until closing in 1991. Rich’s had 2 beloved holiday traditions, the Great Tree and the Pink Pig Flyer. Starting in 1948, the Great Tree was set on top of the multi-level glass "Crystal Bridge" connecting the main downtown Atlanta store across Forsyth Street. The Pink Pig (installed in 1956, and known originally as The Snowball Express) was a child-scaled monorail. The original Pink Pig Flyers monorail cars are now at the Atlanta History Center.
