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's Easter Sunday, 2008. Easter arrived very early this year, and it seems like a lot of us were not quite prepared. I found myself running around at the last minute, getting the ingredients together for Easter dinner. We elected to go non-traditional this year. My mother was Italian, and I make a great homemade sauce, so I am making meatballs, Italian sausage, pasta and a nice salad.
It takes a lot of preparation, so I had to start early in the morning. I lke for the sauce to simmer for at least six hours, so the meat absorbs all of the goodness, so I started early. Once in the pot, it simmers on it's own so I can go about the normal Easter morning activities.
Without getting too preachy, it is, after all, a time for spiritual reflection. When I think of the beauty of creation, I always think about the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's only a four hours drive from home, so I visit often, and over the years, I have accumulated thousands of photos. I even have a website, SmokyPhotos, that is dedicated to archiving photos of the park that I have taken.
There is one special place in the parkthat is near and dear to me. It is the Little Cataloochee church, located in the North Carolina portion of the park. It's a little harder to visit than most of the churches withing the park boundaries, because it takes a significant drive followed by a two mile hike to get there.
But once you arrive, you are at a place of total serenity and peace. You are there, usually alone, save for the faithful resting in the burial ground. It is a place of peace, calm, beauty, inspiration and reflection. If you get a chance to visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I suggest you fore-go Cades Cove and make an effort to visit this spiritual place!
I hope you get as much from it as I have!

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!

It's raining here in Newnan Georgia. During most Springs of the past, I wouldn't give it a second thought. Spring is traditionally wet in our area, and Spring showers are part of the fabric of life here.
But last year was not a typical year. It did not rain much in the Spring, and even less in the summer, taking us into the worst drought we have experienced in a hundred years. The lakes were at an all-time low, and the news constantly reminded us that we only had about 45 days worth of water left.
Municipalities began quarreling over water, and water rights. Lawsuits were filed in many areas, seeking to force even more water releases from already nearly dry lakes. Everyone was desperate, and desperate times called for desperate measures, and water was on everyone's mind, all the time.
So as I sit here looking out my window at the deluge, I am smiling and content. It's a gift from God, and I, for one, am most grateful!

Newnan
was spared the torch of William Tecumseh Sherman, and therefore many
antebellum structures remain. It's old courthouse square is often
featured in movies and television shows. Much of the series "October
Road" was shot in Downtown Newnan. Newnan offers a tour of homes every
Spring and at Christmas, to benefit the Newnan Hospital Auxiliary.
