Newnan, Georgia as established in 1828, Shortly after Creek Chief William McIntosh ceded Creek lands East of the Chattahoochee River. In retaliation, McIntosh was murdered by members of his own tribe. Coweta County was named for the Coweta (Kawita) band of the Creek Nation, and the County seat was named Newnan in honor of General Daniel Newnan, A Georgia Secretary of State and United States Congressman, Just South of the City is "Buena Vista," and antebellum mansion c 1838. Newnan was a confederate hospital city, and did not see fighting during the civil war, leaving these treasures behind for us to enjoy today!
Thanks to preservation efforts, Newnan looks much the same today as it did one hundred years ago, and the downtown shopping district is alive with custom shops and gourmet restaurants. Newnan is also a great walking town, with broad sidewalks and controlled crosswalks. There are numerous city parks for relaxing or strolling, and plenty of scheduled activities year-round. The slide show depicts random images from the city of Newnan, including some Spring shots with beautiful blooms. Many were taken along historic College Street, which features an excellent collection of authentic Victorian homes.

The Newnan - Coweta County Board of Realtorsheld its Professional Achievement Awards Banquet at the Arbor Springs Golf and Country Club on Friday Night. The awards, formerly the Million Dollar Club, reward agents for meeting production levels set by the board/
2007 was supposedly a bad year for real estate, but 99 agents successfully applied for and qualified for the award. The banquet, prepared by Chef Lance Jeffers, was sumptuous and all had plenty to eat and drink. Following the presentation of the awards, the attendees enjoyed music and dancing for the rest of the evening.
A splendid time was had by all, and as chairman of the event, I sure was glad that nearly everything went smoothly and according to plan! I will never again take anything for granted when I attend an event, as now I know how every detail has to be attended to by someone.
Once again, we can't thank the folks at Arbor Springs Golf and Country Club enough. They were great, made the job easy, they really impressed all with the great facility and service. And now, it's back to work, next years goals are yet to be met!

It was a perfect day in Newnan, Georgia. Yes, it is indeed the first day of Spring, but that is an arbitrary word assigned to the day during which a specific astronomical event occurs. But that in itself, did not make the day perfect. No, it was a perfectly crisp, cool and clear day following rainstorms that cleansed the air of particulates and pollution! The sun shone gloriously, and late in the afternoon, I turned off the computer, left the office, and headed for downtown Newnan.
I am, after all, a photography buff. When you love photography, you learn to sense when the light is good. Light is the foundation of everything photographic, and when the air is clean and pristine, the day cool, and before the trees bear their leaves, the light is perfect for outdoor subjects.
And downtown Newnan is a fantastic place to take photos. We still have a real courthouse square, surrounded by quaint storefronts with independent shops and restaurants. We are the City of Homes, and there are many authentic Victorian homes, and even some Antebellum mansions grace our village.
It could be a movie set,as the fast food restaurants and chain stores are relegated to an area miles from the square. They are there if you need them, but they do not intrude on the time capsule that is Newnan. It's a trip back in time, and a photographers dream!
