What a dreary day in ATH. It has been raining for three straight days, but I kind of like it. My daughter loves it, but I only kind of like it because I just keep thinking about the gutters and downspouts, drainage, the shedding of water off the roof near the chimney, and other homeowner [...]

It’s 8:30 AM and I just got back from dropping off my bro in law downtown to drink beer before the UGA vs. Kentucky game. Let me repeat, It’s 8:30 AM. Only in Athens…If I did that, tomorrow would feel like recovering from minor surgery. Anyway, I came home and wrote a long post associated [...]
Georgia on My Mind

The Georgia Homebuyer Tax Credit Has Arrived! Better late than never, and every penny counts. I was wondering how the $8000.00 federal tax credit would affect the market, and that is all buyers all talking about now (at every price range too!). This state icing on the cake definitely doesn’t hurt. See the link to [...]

A couple days ago, The National Trust for Historic Preservation announced its 2009 list of a dozen unique cites to visit for a less than usual travel experience. Those of us who live here can attest to the fact that this is a unique place to live, and therefore, visit. When I think of a [...]

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 [...]

These sites are so much fun. Some people like to go to youtube to fritter away the evening hours, and others like to surf online tax records. The cool thing about Athens, though, is you get to do a tax search for local music celebs, like Michael Stipe and others. You can also see how [...]

Anyone who has lived in or visited the Athens area for even a short time will know that we love our art, and though Athens is best known as a music town, our tastes reach well into visual art, theatre, and other media. While digging through the electronic annals of Athens writing, I came across [...]

This article was published in this week’s Flagpole, the locally owned independent newspaper here in town. I think it is worth a read. It is always interesting to me to hear what newcomers have to say about life in Athens, GA, especially since it is not your typical isolated university town, and the realities here [...]
Weekend in Athens, GA: A Repost from last winter, if you can call December in ATH Winter.
Posted in Athens Life, Joe's Posts, Uncategorized on August 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is a post that got lots of readers and comments on my old classcityguide.com blog. I thought I lost it, but I just found it (Everything stays on the net. Yikes!)). I am posting it again since I still think about that weekend as a quintessential ATH lifestyle snapshot, at least for me, anyway. [...]
ON HOLD: Foreclosures in Athens, GA Part II: The Builder Foreclosure

I am writing from my makeshift office called my dining room table. The family has now been away in Tahoe for five nights, and I am hunkered in with the dog instead of going into the office. I am slowly becoming a bachelor again. Man, living alone this past week makes me realize how much [...]
