Newnan welcomes a new addition to its local business scene with the opening of Market Street North, a home and garden boutique with a unique flair. Located at 2462 Highway 34 East, this boutique, founded by Colleen and Davie Pierre, offers an array of products and services designed to transform any house into a dream home. The boutique features four distinct areas, each showcasing a variety of decor, plants, and furniture set against diverse backdrops to inspire customers. Alongside these offerings, the boutique also provides women's and toddlers' apparel and accessories, complementing its home décor selections.

The design of Market Street North is carefully crafted to enhance the shopping experience, featuring exposed brick, neutral-painted wainscotting, and various flooring types to create a comprehensive showroom atmosphere. The Pierre’s aim to offer a friendly shopping environment where customers can find unique accessories, quality furniture, and professional guidance in home design and staging.

In celebration of its grand opening, Market Street North hosted several events last week, including a $100 gift card giveaway and a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Newnan-Coweta Chamber, complete with delectable treats from Jim and Nicks. The boutique operates Monday to Saturday from 11 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm.

Coweta Extension Hosts Insightful Talk on Overused Plants in Gardening

On January 9, 2024, at 7:00pm, the Coweta Master Gardener Extension Volunteers will host an informative presentation titled “Perils and Pitfalls of Overused Plants.” The event, spearheaded by Paul Pugliese, the UGA County Extension Coordinator and ANR Agent from Bartow County, promises to offer valuable insights into the world of gardening. It will take place at the UGA Extension in Coweta County, located at 255 Pine Rd, Newnan, GA. The session is open to all and free of charge, with the added incentive of a door prize drawing for those who register. This educational event aims to enlighten attendees on the potential drawbacks of relying too heavily on certain plant species in gardening and landscaping. For further information or to register, interested individuals can contact the extension at (770) 254-2620 or via email at [email protected].

 Community and History Merge in Senoia's Museum Renovation Celebration

The Senoia Area Historical Society is set to host a ribbon-cutting event on Saturday, January 13th, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Senoia Historical Museum. This event marks the culmination of the Carmichael Initiative, a significant remodeling project of the museum and society's offices, located in the historic Carmichael house from the 1870s era, at 6 Couch Street in the Historic District of Senoia, Georgia.

Under the leadership of SAHS board president Steve Maloy, the initiative focused on replacing the siding, doors, and windows of the Carmichael house, closely replicating the original 1870s style and materials. This was made possible by a generous donation of about 19,000 linear feet of pine wood from 110- to 140-year-old yellow pine trees, used to duplicate the original siding of the building. Additionally, repairs were made to the brick foundation pillars and underpinning, and an extension was converted into a 15' x 35' meeting room, available for public rental.

The project received substantial support from various personal and corporate donors, including major sponsors like Carl E. Smith Building Products, Ellis Crook, Greg Crook, Norcom Inc, and several individuals and families. The efforts of numerous volunteers and tradespersons also played a crucial role in the renovation.

The SAHS, dedicated to securing, preserving, and promoting the community's social and cultural history, initiated this renovation as part of a broader capital improvement project. The goal was to raise funds for the renovation of the Carmichael house, which houses the historical museum. The public is encouraged to support this initiative through donations, with details available on the SAHS website.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony invites the public to join the festivities, which include museum tours and servings of hot dogs, hamburgers, and refreshments. Expected attendees include local dignitaries such as Mayor Dub Pearman, members of the Senoia City Council, Police Chief Edens, and other notable figures

Explore 8 of the South's Hidden Winter Hiking Gems: Featuring Chattahoochee Bend State Park

Across the Southern United States, numerous hiking trails that are popular in summer and fall take on a special charm during the winter months. As trees shed their foliage, expansive vistas stretching for miles become visible. Cooler weather not only reduces the number of visitors but also deters unwelcome wildlife. Moreover, the occasional snowfall adds to the allure. The following seven parks stand out as enchanting choices for hiking in the winter season.

Chattahoochee Bend, less frequented compared to other parks near Atlanta, presents hikers with the beauty of granite outcrops amidst a riverside forest. In winter, the bare branches of trees reveal unobstructed views of the shimmering Chattahoochee River. As you explore, look for the vibrant hues of winter berries and the lively presence of woodpeckers. Following your hike, a visit to downtown Newnan is a must, where you can enjoy any of the restaurants or cafes for a snack and a drink. Discover more here…
