In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we visit Nellie Mae Rowe’s home in Vinings, Georgia, which is decorated with homemade dolls, shiny bottle caps, paper streamers, pieces of colored glass, and improvised sculptures throughout the yard.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
