News Atlanta's Millenium Arch in the New York Times
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 1:33 PM
Today's New York Times features a story by Shaila Dewan about Atlantic Station's Millenium Arch.
Because the arch was near a large blue and yellow furniture store, some people nicknamed it the Arc d’Ikea.
All this time I thought they called it that because it was shipped flat and assembled with a hex wrench.

My favorite part, emphasis added:
Though the arch is new, it has already attained a milestone that other monuments take decades to achieve: no one is quite sure what it is about. “It’s supposed to commemorate something,” said Kim Baskerville, 35, who lives nearby. “Probably dead Confederates,” said Don Robinson, 64, a retired air traffic control assistant, who was recently waiting at a bus stop near the arch.
