Radium Springs and its casino
Albany, Georgia
Georgia's largest natural spring pushes seventy thousand gallons a minute up out of a limestone cave at a steady sixty-eight degrees, and somebody built a casino and ballroom around it in the twenties with the water as the swimming pool. Traces of radium in it were a selling point at the time. The Flint River flooded the building twice in the nineties and it was pulled down. The spring is a garden now.
