TGIF. What a week it's been!! busy, busy, busy and productive. Today, it's "Friday Shoot-Outs". The talented GingerV @ flowersandmore chose this weeks subject....The Main Four. The Main Four (5 or 6 even) intersections around our towns, storefronts, vendors, traffic lights, traffic, people, anything that represents our towns main intersections. Newnan is a very historic town and our downtown area thrives mainly around Court Square and the streets that run off and behind it. The blocks around Court Square are full of wonderful unique stores, hometown resturant's and happy people.
Thank you GingerV for choosing such a fantastic subject. I had a great time shooting this week and it reminded me of many things I love about my home town.
So without further ado, here we do........
The Carnigie Building announcing Newnan, City of Homes
A pretty house right behind town square. Since Newnan is known as The City Of Homes, I wouldn't have felt right not to throw a couple into my mix.......
Another nice house right behind the hustle and bustle......
Marquee sign at the Alamo which used to be the only movie theater in the town itself. It still has the orginal stage, the projector's and a couple of rows of the original seats inside......now there are two movie theaters way on the outskirts of town....
The intersection of Greenville Street right in the heart of downtown Newnan....

Display in Manns Jewelry window downtown......
Brothers LTD one of our most esteemed clothiers downtown. I can't remember a time when they weren't there.......
Cars, people, traffic.......
Three Sister's Bridal shop, so full of beautiful things.......
Nice graffiti on the side of a shop. I like that, "When Silence Was Golden"......
Two Sister's Knitting Nook, beautiful skeins of yarn in every color of the rainbow line the shelves that go to the ceiling. Smiling ladies and kiddos going in and out of this lovely shop........
Greenville Street Antiques.........
Fabulous by Design and The Vintage Flea store fronts. Both of these shops are chock to the walls filled with way cool stuff. I get "stuff" here........
A nice couple in love that I ran into by the square when I was out shooting for this project. I asked for a quick shot and they so kindly posed for a second. This town is just full of nice friendly people.......
Walking the dog on Washington Street............
Another dog walker on LaGrange Street..........
A sweet beautiful young couple having a bite of dinner outside the Redneck Gourmet and their rescue pup Maggie. How sweet is this picture?? I took this on Wednesday early evening and it was a beautiful evening to sit outside and have a meal al fresco......
Next week, beautiful Loida has chosen "My Home Towns Native Food and Resturant's" for the Friday Shoot Out. That should be another interesting one I think. I love seeing everyone elses town through their eyes. This is one of the highlights of my week......seeing everyone's Friday Shoot-Out pictures representing their towns.
*****"Forget all of your cares and go Downtown, things will be waiting for you"*****
Wishing you all a very happy and blessed Easter and I hope that you all get a big ole chocolate egg or bunny. Sugar free of course.....oh wait....nevermind, that would be like kissing your sister wouldn't it??. Life's short. Eat the real thing :)
As we observe such a Holy holiday, lets remember the earthquake victims in Italy and their families, the tornado victims in Arkansas and their neighbor's and family, the hostages being held on ship by Pirates in Somalia and our brave, heroic soldier's and their families who fight daily to keep our country free and to allow us to observe Holy holiday's such as these.
Steady On
