Ben Epps (1888-1937)

The newest statue in Athens is of Ben Epps. He was the first Georgian to build and fly an airplane. Our airport in Athens is named for him.

Located across the street from the statue is a bar that stands in the location where Ben Epps had his bicycle shop. The historical marker tells his story.

Behind Magnolia

The scene behind the Magnolia. I just wanted to document this mural before it too is covered over like the beautiful one that was on the side of the Georgia Theatre many years ago. There's more to the mural. Check it out.

The Kissing Rocks

The Kissing Rocks are located on Prince Ave in front of the old Navy School.

Jackson St. Cemetery, UGA campus

This sign makes me sad. It's existence means that some inconsiderate and probably drunken UGA fans actually set up their tailgate party in the graveyard.

40 Watt Sign

If you know Athens, you know the 40 Watt.

Limbs along King Avenue

Typical pile of limbs awaiting pickup. There are hundred of piles this big all over town. Of course, these limbs have been and will be sitting here for a long time because the city has cut back it's pickup service and is almost a month behind its schedule. Do you guys still think it was a good idea to elect a former tax collector as mayor? By the way the downed lines have been there for over two months. I'm hoping they're phone or cable lines.
