Classic City Guide

There are two maps of the Athens, GA area that I find to be very useful for those trying to familiarize their selves with the area.  One hangs to the left of my desk in the office, and the other is more geared towards newcomers trying to get a better sense of the in-town area layout and neighborhoods in relation to the University, etc.  I use this map every time I sit down for the first time with out of town buyers as we have a morning cup of coffee at Jittery Joe’s and get to know each other before heading out on the always enjoyable tour of ATH.

This in-town neighborhood map is the creation of the folks at The Flagpole, the city’s independent newspaper.  Some people religiously read the Flagpole every week and never miss it.  Others refuse to read it because they are considered defiantly liberal, and they have sex toy shop ads and the like in it.  Whatever the case, the maps are a hot commodity since they are inside the newspaper’s yearly Guide to Athens, a free news stand item that is limited in supply and can be difficult to find after around mid-winter (They are released in time for the start of the University’s Fall Semester).

But here is the good news.  This year, the good folks at The Flagpole office held back a couple bundles for me and I have them in my hot little hands and will mail them to anyone anywhere if you would like one.  Please consider this a service to those wanting to do their due diligence prior to moving here.  Man, what a good guy I am…

Here’s the thing, you need to e-mail me at my other website since it the private way to contact me.  Go to my other website and fill out your address and I will send you a guide with the map.  No, I am not going to use this to badger you to work with me.  That’s not how I roll.
