==Fame of the Great Tree==
The tree and the bridge were featured on the cover of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine in 1961.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19611215,00.html|title=TIME Magazine Cover: Christmas Shopping - Dec. 15, 1961|website=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref>

During the time the Great Tree was at the downtown Rich's store, it was undeniably the biggest Christmas-time attraction in the [[southeastern United States]].  Parents from around the [[South (US)|South]] brought their children to downtown Atlanta expressly to experience this attraction and have their picture taken with the Rich's store Santa Claus.  Millions of children and their parents made the annual migration during its tenure.  The Pink Pig was an immensely popular attraction in its own right.  Decades after the original Pink Pig was retired, many Atlanta natives who rode the pig as children fondly reminisce about their rides in the pig.  The ride inspired the 2004 book ''I Rode the Pink Pig: Atlanta's Favorite Christmas Tradition'' ({{ISBN|1588180999}}).  Today, much [[memorabilia]] can be found in the homes of Atlantans.
