A Note From The Publishers

Dear Friends,

We hope you enjoy reading this magazine – there is something in it for everyone.

For those who love history, you will find some untold stories of how and why Floy Farr played such an important role in the development of our city.

For the music and theater lovers, we highlight two: The Southern Crescent Chorale which requires an audition, and the Georgia Singers Theater Company which focuses mostly on pre-teens through 22 years of age.

If you are interested in ecology, you will find a personal interview with Sally Bethea, by her friend and our editor Sherri Smith Brown! Sally was the first riverkeeper of the upper Chattahoochee in Georgia and her new book highlights her experiences battling the City of Atlanta to clean up the Chattahoochee–including successfully suing the city for millions of dollars!

We have you covered in “What’s Happening." This section makes it easy to look forward and plan your activities for the next six months!

The pull-out map in the center of the magazine has been updated and gives you a quick and easy-to-read look at all 100 + miles of the multi-use paths.

Thanks to our publishing team: Mike Nelson, Marilyn Wankel, and Sherri Smith Brown who once again brought together a very informative and entertaining issue.

When you are out and about, please support our advertisers – without them we could not give away 26,000 copies each issue.

Charlie and Anna Nelson, Publishers
