Since 1975, Clara Bridges has lived at Peachtree Senior Tower. The oldest living resident of the largest housing authority in Georgia celebrated her 102nd birthday on March 24. Clara Bridges, or Mama Bridges as she is affectionately known, marked her big day with friends and family at the Peachtree Senior Tower where she's lived since 1975, according to a news release. 'Mama Bridges represents the best of Atlanta, our state and our region,' said Eugene E. Jones, Jr., president and CEO of Atlanta Housing, which previously owned the property.
