What Are Your '96 Olympics Memories?

Three Olympic events took place in Stone Mountain in 1996. What are your memories of them?

The world will soon turn its attention to London, where the Olympic Games begin July 27 and last through August 12.

But 16 years ago, all eyes were on Atlanta, and many were fixed on Stone Mountain, where three Olympic events took place: archery, tennis and cycling.

If you were living in the area when the events came to town, what do you remember about that time? How was the traffic around venues such as Stone Mountain Park and the Stone Mountain Tennis Center? Did you attend any of the events?
