Athens, Georgia -- Downtown

Athens, Georgia -- Downtown

UGA, with a student body of nearly 40,000, defines Athens. I've enjoyed spending hours wandering within their massive campus...

If I'm to stop anywhere to complete hours of work on the laptop, could I ever find a place with a more fitting name?!? =D !

"Your iced drink is on us today!" --THANKS, ERIC & CREW!!!

Despite being featuring a most marvelous atmosphere within, I chose Walker's Pub & Coffee's outdoor perimeter seating for today's digital work!

The only one of its kind known of, Athens created the double-barrel cannon during the Civil War. It was designed to have twin cannon balls with an attached chain fire simultaneously, to cut across and mow down any advance Union troops "like a scythe to wheat". The idea was a complete failure; they could never perfect the simultaneous firing of the cannon balls...

Photographer Richard Hamm, of the onlineathens.com, sets up for today's Prince Avenue photo shoot.

"I take thousands of pictures of everything and everyone else," photographer Richard Hamm explains to me, as I ask if I can snap a pic of him "...and my picture is (almost) never taken."

Despite having literally abandoned both brands years ago, metaphorically, I LOVE the philosophy!
