I, too, live in the Coleman Hill area, and it's been a wonderful place to live. <br />I'm lucky to be in J.W. Hudson's old home....and I'm still enjoying all the beautiful flowers he and his wife planted over the years. "For here the saying holds true, 'One sows and another reaps.'" (John 4:37) We inherit a wonderful history in this community in a thousand different ways--my favorite is found in the roses and azaleas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376889143210775517.post-10083084649069195692009-08-27T12:05:02.864-05:002009-08-27T12:05:02.864-05:00I grew up in Athens (well the Clements area really...I grew up in Athens (well the Clements area really) and am proud to say that it is somewhere that I love to bring my boys back to.

I sincerely hope that the downtown rebirth moves toward our older neighborhoods. Growing up on Pryor Street, my neighbors were like extra grandparents. I learned so much from visiting with them in the afternoons, and they enjoyed watching a youngster playing in the yard. There is much to gain for a young family by moving into a house with "great bones" on an old city street and enjoying some of Athens has to offer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
