This looks like a scene straight out of the TV show, The Beverly Hillbillies or Sanford and Son. Here's a man who takes leisure to a whole new level as he rides on top of a pile of mattresses in Atlanta traffic. Apparently, driver safety codes in 1968 weren't as strict as they are today . I'm not sure if the man is riding high on top of the pile for fun or to secure the bounty of mattresses?



A lot was going on in Atlanta during 1968. It was the year the Memorial Arts Center - which provided a new home for the High Museum of Art and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. It was also the year that the city moved the Milwaukee Braves to Atlanta - which changed the face of baseball.
