As a child, I used to wonder what things would be like when I grew up – perhaps you did, too. Well, I’m not sure I ever re-ally “Grew Up”, but I’ve gotten a good bit older and have seen

a whole bunch of changes in Coweta County. It’s always easy to say that things are not the way they were in “the good old days”, but I suspect each generation has felt similar longings for the way things “used to be”.

In this issue of the Shopper, we have included an interesting ar-ticle by Anna Williams about downtown Newnan in the late 1800’s. And I’ll bet you that as that generation grew older, many com-plained that those newly invented automobiles were ruining their

horse businesses, and that telephones and moving pictures caused far too much “unnecessary social-izing”. And it’s not just the City of Newnan, but the once thriving communities that have seen some dramatic changes.

My wife and I married in 1969, lived in Atlanta for a year, then came back to Coweta County, and honestly, we thought things were a little behind the times here. The Alamo Theater had closed so we had to drive (back) to Atlanta just to see a movie. And while there, we would enjoy a Big Mac, as there was not a single McDonald’s here. But there had been a “Shopping Center” in Newnan for over ten years. It was only a block from the square with only 4 stores! The Newnan Country Club was just that, a nice club out in the country. Basically the east side of the “City” ended about where the water tower is now located on Bullsboro. Hwy 34 was a very curvy two-lane road that connected Newnan with Fayetteville. Peachtree City didn’t exist then, but there were three little country stores at Thomas Crossroads where one could buy gas, bread, some cheese crackers and a sack of tomatoes or apples. And the only way to get to Atlanta was to drive up Hwy 29 through Palmetto, Fairburn and College Park, as the “expressway” had not yet reached Coweta County.

Senoia, Sharpsburg, Turin, Grantville and Moreland were still thriving rural communities with a rather “relaxed” way of living, which I have come to enjoy so much. (I hope they can be successful in trying to keep things that way.) And our county map was dotted with other, even smaller, communi-ties such as Madras, Welcome, Roscoe, Sargent, Arnco, East Newnan and Raymond and Haralson, which have now been almost absorbed by the developing rural subdivisions.

So we may call those earlier times the “good old days”, but Coweta County now has much more to offer than it has ever had. We can purchase almost any goods or services we need with more con-venience, our new neighborhoods are attractive and up to date, and our county leaders are seeing to it that this growth is going in a positive direction. We are replete with medical care and prosperous businesses. New schools and colleges are being constructed, and our entertainment and cultural arts are of high quality. Yes, we may be a little more spread out but Coweta County is still a pretty darned good place to live. And Nadine and I will not be moving back to Atlanta!

JoePost Script: Grandpa lived in town but owned a hundred acres on that curvy little narrow road going to Fayetteville. It was the northwest corner of Thomas Crossroads and cost him less than $10,000. It’s a shame he forgot about me when he made his will!

By Joey HowardThe Coweta Shopper

If you ask District Manager Jason Mooney about the jingle, he simply says “They should play that all the time.” No doubt, if you’ve lived in Coweta County for any length of time, you’ve heard the Cook’s Pest Control jingle via a TV or radio commercial. “Looky, looky, looky, here comes Cooky ... Cook’s Pest Control.” “It just sticks in your head,” said Cook’s Mooney. “I’ve had people - when I walk into a place - actually start singing that to me.” Mooney heads a staff of 23 at the Cook’s Pest Control Sharps-burg office, located at 3500 Hwy. 34 East in Thomas Grace Plaza. It’s a district office that serves much of South and West Metro Atlanta. “We moved the office from Fairburn,” Mooney said. “The location was better and the acces-sibility was better. We cover not only Coweta, but Fayette, Doug-las, and Carroll Counties all the way down to Columbus.” “But we truly love it here. Coweta is a nice, growing area and just seemed to be the right place. We’ll eventually build a per-manent facility and I’d just soon build it here. Our overall plan is to continue growing, which we’ve done here in the last year or so, when our staff had only 16 em-ployees.” Cook’s Pest Control handles the usual suspects – termites, ants, spiders, mosquitos, bed bugs, car-penter bees, nuisance birds and rodents. And Mooney says that termites are actually in a different category. “We have a different depart-ment just for termites,” he said. “Termite just focuses on termites, because that’s its own little prob-lem and we have to address it differently.” Anyone that is interested in a service which Cook’s Pest Con-trol provides gets a Free Home or Business Inspection. Even though the inspection is free, it’s critical in determining a course of action needed.

“We want to see what’s going on,” Mooney says. “We can determine what the problem is and where it’s coming from. That’s the first thing in pest control ... know what you’re treating for. We can’t just go in and willy-nilly spray. We want to make sure we’re focusing on what the problem is.” “If you are having a problem with ants, we need to focus on tak-ing care of the ants. What kind of ant. If its roaches, what kind of roach. That’s going to determine our treatment methods. Even though an ant is an ant, they eat different things. A carpenter ant is going to be interested in a different thing, than say a fire ant.” Occasionally, pest control can run into an emergency situation. “Bees are a big thing as are wasps and hornets,” Mooney says. “It’s something people really get freaked out about. And it’s some-thing that really scares people, especially those with allergies. In that case, it is an ASAP-type thing.” Mooney feels two areas really separate Cook’s Pest Control from its competition - training and customer service. Mooney says people are probably surprised when they find out just how much training Cook’s techni-cians undergo prior to working in the general public.

“Our technicians typically have 160-plus hours worth of train-ing before they go into the field,” Mooney says. “Most companies don’t do that. We’ve hired people from other companies that say ‘I rode with a guy for two days and then they stuck me in a truck’. We’ve got computer training that’s very extensive. We send our techs to Decatur, Ala., for a week of training in class and hands-on.” “And Cook’s actually built a house where we do more training. It has almost every condition that we would run into out in the field. It’s got everything we would need to train our people.” Mooney says the customer ser-vice factor is of prime importance in doing business. “When I’m interviewing some-one to become a part of our staff, I ask them if they know what busi-ness that we’re in. They say ‘pest control’. I say that’s the industry we’re in. The business we’re in is customer service because cus-tomer service is how we get paid. A happy customer will always pay their bill. An unhappy customer ...” “If someone is unhappy, they are always welcome to call us. We will always make additional trips to make sure they are happy. That is paramount.”

Toenail fungus infection (“onychomycosis”) is an extremely common infection of the nails by fungus. The infection is stubborn, diffi cult to treat, and results in unsightly and often painful toenails. Treatments are often slow, time-consuming and far from 100% effective.

If you have this diffi cult to treat condition and are between the ages of 18-70 you may be eligible to participate in a research study conducted by Dr. Mark Ling, testing a topical investigational medication for the treatment of mild to moderate toenail fungus infection. To qualify, you must have fungal infection of one or both of your big toenails, but the infection must involve between 20% and 50% of the nail, no more, or less.

All study visits and study medication are provided at no cost to you and qualifi ed participants may be eligible for compensation for time and travel.

I dive and the most important part of my scuba gear is my life support equipment. This is the equipment that ensures I get air under the water. Without it, I don’t come up. Similarly, I look at fall buttons (personal emergency response systems, PERS) as life support equipment for aging. The number one reason that people over 65 end up in the ER is due to a fall. But often it is not the fall itself that does the most damage. It is the length of time the person that fell is left on the ground that contributes to irreversible damage and even death. Anyone that lives alone or spends a large amount of time alone needs a PERS. Falls happen. The older we get, the more prone we are to falling. Minimize the risk of injury from a fall by getting help as soon as possible. What age is a good age to get a button? If you’re asking the question, it’s time.

By Joey Howard, The Coweta Shopper

When it comes to small business, national recognition is hard to come by. That’s why when Home Helpers of Georgia and Alabama took home The Pioneer Award last week from a nation-al conference, it was big news. Beth Dow and her husband Phillip are the owners of a local Home Helpers franchise here in Coweta, Troup, Muscogee and Lee (Ala.) Coun-ties. It was their local senior-care fran-chise that earned The Pioneer Award for exemplifying innovative thinking and creativity in the pursuit of excellent customer/client care. “To know that out of 300 franchise owners that represent close to 600 dif-ferent territories, that we ‘stand out’ … well, that’s just cool,” Dow said. “We have been in business for seven years now and this has been the hardest thing I have ever loved to do.” Dow, who contributes a Senior Care Q&A column to The Coweta Shopper, says her company started with a staff of only one employee in Auburn, Ala. “We’ve grown to a staff of 90 in Coweta, Troup, Muscogee and Lee Counties,” said Dow. “Being recognized for our hard work and dedication to our clients by our franchise is affirming and humbling.” Home Helpers Franchise Systems recognizes its franchise owners annu-ally at a national conference, this year held at Las Vegas. The franchise system identifies those franchise owners who truly exemplify the system’s spirit and mission while effectively growing their businesses, doing so while supporting the system as a whole. “Our goal at Home Helpers of

Georgia and Alabama is to help (our senior customers) to stay in the least restricted environment, enabling you to heal, recover or age to your greatest potential,” Dow said. “We provide home care, where ever your home may be.” “We can provide services such as cooking meals, cleaning homes, pro-viding transportation, all the way to providing personal care – such as bathing and dressing. Some folks have called us ‘Assisted Living at Home’ and even ‘Nursing Home Prevention.’” Beth and Phillip have been married for 36 years and live on a family home in Lone Oak. They have two sons, one daughter-in-law and one grandson. Beth and Phillip are both Certified Se-nior Advisors and Beth is certified in Alzheimer’s Care and Geriatric Case Management.

Local author and small business owner, Stacey Livingston of Newnan, will have a book reading / sign-ing on Sunday, June 29 for her fiction adventure “Shattered.” Livingston, also co-owner of Baby Dimensions on Baker Road, has spent three years working toward publication of her E-day book series. “Shattered” is Book 1 and she is now nearing comple-tion of Book 2, “Bedlam.” The book reading / signing is from 2-4

Now, the very people who scorned him are asking for his help to make things right again. You can bring your book or purchase books at the signing for $15 (tax includ-ed).

Missed The Spring Selling Market?Most sellers are coached and

geared up to have their house on the market before the spring selling sea-son, while in reality, life gets in the way, there are projects that still need finishing and next thing you know, you’ve missed the season.

Don’t panic. While spring is histor-ically the best time to sell, it’s not the only time. Yes, the experts are con-tinuously saying list now, rates are increasing, buyers need to get settled before this or that … the truth is, buyers need houses all year long.

Keep in mind though that the construction business has started back up with a bang, so it’s still es-sential that you have your projects and repairs completed, updated your fixtures and stage the house to com-pete. Buyers are going to compare new housing to owner occupied and as a seller your property needs to measure up!

Studies have shown that the largest group of buyers are under the age of 48. What does that mean to you as a seller? You have to think about what

Nan Johnston, Southern Staging & Redesign,

[email protected] www.southern-staging.com

is going on in their lives. They don’t want to move into a house and have a “honey-do” list. They have busy lives, with families, activities and want to move into homes that are in move in condition. As a seller, it’s in your best interest to complete that “honey-do” list before you go on the market.

It’s easy for a seller to say, oh well I don’t want to do that because I might not choose what the next owner would like. Guess what? IF they are interested in a home that needs updating, they are going to re-duce more off the price of the house than it would have cost you to do the work before you listed. If you are try-ing to maximize your asking price, that work needs to be completed.

So don’t panic about missing “the selling season”. Do your homework and put it on the market once it’s completed. There will always be buy-ers out there!

To be sure you’ve made the correct choices in updating your house to sell, contact…

Before: Dated kitchen and personal paint choices kept this house on the market for almost a year. After: Neutralizing the paint colors and

updating countertops, sink & faucet was a successful move for this seller.

The McRitchie-Hollis Museum has opened a new exhibit featuring local art-ist Martin Pate’s work. The exhibit will run through October.

The new exhibit, “Local Color,” features sixteen original paintings by Pate, includ-ing Civil War scenes, Coweta landscapes, and views of the Court Square.

“We are thrilled to showcase not only a talented artist, but also one that calls Newnan home,” said Keri Adams, McRitchie-Hollis interpreter.

Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

One of Pate’s favorite subjects is the historic 1904 courthouse, which is fea-tured in several of the paintings exhib-ited at the McRitchie-Hollis. “My per-sonal paintings of Newnan usually revolve around the architectural history…that’s what first caught my interest and caused me to move here,” said Pate.

On what inspired him to paint local scenes, Pate said, “Newnan has been my home since 1984 and I’m prone to draw inspiration from places I call home…Geor-gia and South Carolina in particular.”

Pate remembers being interested in art before starting kindergarten. “My brother and I used to sit and watch our aunt paint. She lived with us temporar-ily when I was 5 or 6. There was a magic quality to it,” Pate recalled. He followed his brother to the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, study-ing graphic design and illustration for three years.

The exhibit features a number of Civil War-themed paintings in recognition of the Sesquicentennial of the Battle of Brown’s Mill this summer. A special re-ception is being planned to unveil Pate’s newest painting, which depicts a scene from the battle. The painting will be used in promotional materials for this sum-mer’s special Sesquicentennial events.

Local Artist Martin Pate’s work featured at The McRitchie-Hollis Museum

“I’ve always loved history. Some of my earliest drawings as a child were sol-diers, including Civil War era,” Pate said. One of the largest works in the exhibit titled “Goin’ Home” was inspired by an idea Pate has for a graphic novel about a wounded Confederate soldier who is cut-off behind enemy lines, trying to come home.

“The Historical Society is excited to feature Martin’s work, especially those of historical and architectural scenes – it’s re-ally such a beautiful way to capture what makes Newnan and Coweta so special,” Adams said.

Admission to both the museum and the exhibit is $5 per adult, $2 per child 12 or younger and seniors, and free to all NCHS members.

Parking for the museum is located in the old Newnan Hospital lot on Car-michael Street with handicap accessible parking in the museum’s brick driveway on Clark Street. The museum is located at 74 Jackson Street.

Those needing more information about the exhibit or museum, or would like to join the Newnan-Coweta Histori-cal Society, should call 770-251-0207 or email [email protected] .

Newnan Theatre Company is offer-ing three exciting youth productions this summer: Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew,” Roald Dahl’s “James and the Giant Peach,” and a much newer play, “Avenue Q,” by Jeff Whitty, Robert Lopez, and Jeff Marx.

The Taming of the ShrewJune 26 – June 29

William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew,” directed by NTC’s Managing Director Jennifer Dorrell, will be per-formed by junior high school students in NTC’s Black Box. You know the story. Bianca and Katherina are daughters of a rich Venetian merchant. The younger daughter, Bianca, is both beautiful and agreeable and has many suitors. But her sister, Katherina the shrew, drives away every man who seeks her hand. The fa-ther won’t let Bianca marry until his old-er daughter is wed. Matters stand at an impasse until Petruchio arrives in town. He needs a rich wife to repair his fortune and determines to marry Katherina “will ye or nill ye,”as he tells her. The wedding takes place, and thus begins the most fa-mous “Battle of the Sexes” in literary his-tory.

How will NTC’s talented young play-ers interpret this conflict that has pro-voked controversy among scholars and feminists for over 400 years? In the end, has Kate really been tamed, or has she simply learned to play the game of “obe-dient wife” to her own advantage? You’ll have to see the play to find out.

All ticket prices are $10.00. Perfor-mance times are as follows:

June 26-28, 8 p.m. & June 29, 3 p.m.

James and the Giant PeachJuly 17 – July 20

Donna Provencher is directing “James and the Giant Peach,” also taking place in the Black Box. “This is a really fun, fanci-ful story,” said Provencher. “The humor is very British. The story line is a classic tale of a mistreated child who, through magic, becomes a hero in a fantastic alternative world.” That world happens to be inside a giant peach, where he meets a variety of talking (and friendly) insects.

“These kids are just so passionate and enthusiastic: a wonderful group, very tal-ented and worth watching as they morph into ladybugs, spiders, grasshoppers, and centipedes” said Provencher. “They all seem to be clicking well and having fun.”

The Peach, the Shrew and Avenue QSummer shows at NTC

By Joan Doggrell


July 17-19, 8 p.m. • July 20, 3 p.m.

Avenue Q July 24 – July 27“Avenue Q” is a fresh new musical still

playing in New York’s West End. Remember all those positive messages

you got as a child watching “Sesame Street,” all about the limitless possibilities life of-fers, even to oddballs? Well, “Avenue Q” is a grown up parody of “Sesame Street.” The youthful characters live on Avenue Q, a long way from where the rich and famous live on Avenue A, because so far, none of those possibilities have material-ized for them.

The majority of the Avenue Q resi-dents are real puppets, hand held by live, visible puppeteers who speak and act for them on stage. Only three characters are human. One of them is the apartment house manager Gary Coleman. (Remem-ber him from “Diff ’rent Strokes?”)

“It’s a very funny show about life, a take on the traditional story of young people living in poverty while they struggle to suc-ceed in the big city,” said Bruce Patterson, who is directing the music. “In the middle of conversations, the characters burst into song, just as they do on ‘Sesame Street.’ A lot of the melodic themes suggest those fa-miliar motifs.”

“This somewhat controversial musical gives high school students the opportunity to play roles that they would not ordinarily be able to do,” added Patterson. “We are working hard to handle sensitive issues in a manner appropriate for this age group. Our staging will be a little more tasteful than that of some of the touring groups with adult actors.”

Nevertheless, the content is adult. “Av-enue Q” is not appropriate for children – even though it has puppets.


July 24-26, 8 p.m. • July 27, 3 p.m.Tickets are on sale now and can be

purchased through the NTC website, www.newnantheatre.org, or via phone by calling 770.683.6282.

Newnan was a surprisingly prosperous town in the late 1800s. � e same railroads that made Newnan a logical choice for a hospital town during the Civil War supported bustling industries in tex-tile production and manufacturing. Fire insurance maps from the 1880s to 1911 show that Newnan’s downtown was the location of beautiful homes, cotton warehouses, and steel manufacturing, as well as venues for entertainment and a wide variety of available goods and services. Although some of Newnan’s historically signi� cant architecture built during this era has been lost through the years, much of it can be seen in the present day.

� e 1868 Virginia House Hotel is one of the old-est surviving structures in Newnan’s downtown. � e foundation of this hotel was the former Golden Star Hotel, and dates to the mid-19th century. � is structure operated as a hotel for over 90 years and is now used for commercial o� ces. It is rumored that several famous individuals including Je� erson Davis, president of the Confederate States of Amer-ica, once visited this hotel.

Built in 1895, the Murray Warehouse Block is a rectangular, red brick building that once served as a cotton warehouse. � e building features white trimmed dentil molding, granite belt courses, brick piers, and cast-iron storefronts. During the late 19th century the Murray Warehouse Block conducted cotton trading business as well as printing busi-ness. � e building currently stands in its original location the corner of Brown and West Washington Streets. Although it is not used for its original pur-pose, it serves as a reminder of Newnan’s roots in the cotton industry.

Today, the Confederate Memorial statue can be found on the east side of the Coweta County Courthouse, however, that is not its original loca-tion. It once stood in the middle of the street on the intersection of Je� erson and Washington. Due to increased automobile tra� c during the 1920s, the statue was moved from the center of Je� erson Street by sliding it along with logs, then placed on a block of ice so that as it melted, it lowered the statue into place in it’s current spot!

Alongside these commercial buildings, Newnan built several beautiful historic churches in the late 1800s and � rst decade of the 20th century, three of which are still used today. � ese structures share

Newnan’s T hriving Downtown: 1880-1911.

some common architectural trends for downtown churches built in Georgia during this period. Con-gregations that had previously worshipped in log cabins in the town’s early years prospered and built larger, more permanent sanctuaries for their grow-ing congregations.

Newnan’s First Baptist Church was founded in 1828 by seven pioneers to the area. Construction began on the church’s previous historic sanctuary in 1845, and was later used as a hospital during the Civil War. By 1884 First Baptist outgrew the old, wood-frame church and built the historic sanctu-ary seen today. Construction was � nished in time for First Baptist to host the Georgia Baptist Con-vention in April of 1886.

Another one of downtown Newnan’s historic churches, Central Baptist Church, on the corner of Broad Street and Brown, was built in 1898. � is beautiful church features similar elements of late gothic revival architecture as other historic Newnan churches including masonry construction, square corner towers, and stained glass.

� e Mount Vernon First Baptist Church is credit-ed as being the � rst African American, Baptist con-gregation in Newnan. � e beautiful, brick, gothic revival church located on Pinson Street was built in 1899, 36 years a� er the congregation’s founding.

With the Male Academy and secondary school for women, known as College Temple, education was not overlooked in Newnan. Newnan’s Carn-egie Library was the � rst Carnegie Library in Geor-gia, and is the only one in the United States that has returned to its original use. Built in 1903, the Carnegie Library features a reading room, meet-ing space, and hosts a number of events for all ages. � is building has not undergone any signi� cant changes to it’s exterior since it’s construction and therefore looks very much like it did over a hun-dred years ago. Some of the original hexagonal pavers and granite curbing can still be seen in the sidewalk outside the Carnegie.

� e Reese Opera House, which opened in early 1883 welcomed comedians, singers, and other per-formers to Newnan, but also housed retail such as a jewelry store, dry goods, a tobacco store, and a grocer over the decades, and later was the location for the Southern School of Telegraphy.

ater opened during the era of silent � lms, and can be seen on a 1911 map labeled “moving pictures”. � e movie theater featured one screen and 241 seats.

A few doors down, the space that now houses � e Alamo � eater at 19 West Court Square was built in 1880 as a commercial building, home to a harness shop, general store, and a butcher through the decades. A blacksmith, and later a barbeque stand once occupied the alley space behind. � e building was converted into a movie theater with one screen and 551 seats in 1928.

Downtown Newnan continues to be a thriving commercial area when many small town squares in Georgia are struggling to adapt to changes in the American lifestyle since their heyday. Newnan’s historic commercial district is home to restaurants, shopping, and a wide array of businesses much like it was from 1880-1920 while meeting the needs of a growing and changing population.

� e historic Newnan Hospital, built in 1925 will soon be the latest location for the University of West Georgia in Newnan. � is practice of adaptive reuse ensures that historic structures are preserved for future generations by being converted to meet the needs of the community.

� e buildings built in Newnan’s historic court square during the late 1800s stand today as a re-minder of the town’s unique history and bear the markings of many changes and trends of the de-cades in between. Perhaps most importantly, Newnan’s historic downtown provides current citizens, old families and newcomers alike, with a tangible link to the past through its physical struc-tures. Newnan’s historic districts give our commu-nity a distinct character and foster a sense of place for those who are visiting as well as those who are lucky enough to live among such rich history.
