Tuesdays Touring Newnan - City Of Homes

I love Tuesdays because I love to show you my beautiful hometown of Newnan, Georgia. We have such a beautiful, charming and friendly town. We love to sit in rocking chairs on our front porches, sit under the stars at night for outdoor concerts or grand fireworks during the summer and we love to have visitor's. So next time you're in town.....please stop by and I'll give you a real grand tour in person.

Things I spotted this week while out and about.......


One of our City Of Homes signs going into the city limits........


A picturesque horse farm with a winding drive that leads to a pond......


A really old tin building that I think is cool........


Cousin Sis and Uncle Baby. A friend of our's son took this picture with my camera while we were all out listening to our friends play music at our favorite coffee shop Espresso Lane.......


The proprietor of Arnalls Grocery, the local feed and seed store in Newnan where I buy all of my gardening seeds and supplies. Look at that sweet grandson of theirs.....


The orginal movie projector from The Alamo Movie Theater downtown on the Square......


Panoply Interior Design..........


The Dr. Thos J Jones building in historic downtown Newnan........


I loved this display out front of one of my favorite stores The Other Side Of The Moon. What a cool place to shop.......


The "Hip To Be On The Square" wall collage in Fabiano's Pizza. And it is hip to be on the square in Newnan where all of the action is..........


I love See Rock City birdhouses and couldn't resist this shot.........


A grand Weeping Willow I spotted. Isn't it a beauty?.........


Thanks for having a little visit with me in Newnan today. We hope to see you live and in person real soon. We can all go be hip on the square together!!

Come on down and see us y'all...........

Tuesdays Touring Newnan, City Of Homes

******PLEASE remember to click on the DAILY PUPPY******

Welcome to Newnan, Georgia....City of Homes! Did you know that the entire South is larger than Europe and as diverse....a conglomeration of distinctly differing regions? Big towns, in between size towns and small towns. I love them all.

I especially love my town of Newnan, Georgia where the sweet-smeling aroma of vines, magnolia's and gardenia's fill the air and petals of these flowers float in bowls on dinner tables. We put up tomatoes for tomatoe relish that we pick from around tangles of zucchini vines and wild onions grow on tall stalks.

If you live in Newnan it is part of your soul. It becomes a part of you that you can't change......you wouldn't want to.......


Spring flower's outside Murphy's Florist........


On LaGrange Street, Luke Headley Investments, Brooks and Lucy's.......


The bell ourside the Male Academy Museum..........


M Nicole Designs, where everything is unique and so cute. I often pick up gifts in this shop..........


Hit the Trail hiking gear. If you need something for your outdoor adventure you can be sure that they've got it.........


A mural painted on a brick wall in town..........


Heritage Quilts and Fabric...such beautiful bolts of fabric fill this shop from floor to ceiling. A quilter's delight........


An upclose snap I took of a beautiful handmade quilt hanging on the wall in Heritage Quilts and Fabric. Notice the fresh cut flowers. A lady who works there told me that she had cut them out of her front yard yesterday morning.......


Our historic Hersh Building.........


This is our Historic courthouse on Court Square in downtown Newnan being restored. During the Civil War this was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers......


An up close snap of the top of the courthouse. The top is being re-coppered. I love to be uptown when that big clock strikes the hour chimes.......


A produce stand on the side of the road off of Highway 16. Mr Vernon, that's him peeking out beside his truck door, sells these goodies out of the back of his red pick up truck. I've never gotten anything there that wasn't delicious.........


This is one of my favorite houses in town. I drive by this house all of the time and am always struck by the beauty of it's stained glass windows and charm.....


Thanks for having a little stroll through my town with me. Perhaps you'd like to come visit (Bagman?????). Market Day's have started on the square in downtown Newnan. Local vendor's line the courthouse square with all kinds of wares.....homemade jewelry, pottery, art work, confections, sweet kettle corn. Mainstreet Newnan sponsor's Market Days the first Saturday of every month. Prince and I love to go walk about and see what treasure's we can find. We always bump into an old friend or two and stop for a chat amidst friendly faces. Come see us in Newnan..............you won't want to leave.
