VETERANS DAY 2020

On every Veterans Day, I immediately think of my Dad.  He was and is my hero, and he was the founder and inspiration behind our company which he began in 1948.

After graduating from Emory University in 1943, Lindsey Barron joined the Navy and went into training on the Northwestern University Campus in Chicago at the Navy Pier.

His ship was built in Indiana and was named LST Number 587.  They rode it down the Mississippi River and through the Panama Canal into the Pacific Ocean and into the war there.  Their job was to pick-up Marines and deliver them onto the beaches on islands that became household names.

My Dad was an ensign on the LST and was a gunnery officer in charge of a gun used to protect the ship.  He mentioned that one day they received orders to get up at 4:00 a.m.,...

All of us at Lindsey's are mindful of and remember what happened on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.  Today is a day of reflection of all that happened that day and the great loss of life caused by those terrorist attacks on our nation.

That event taught us to be vigilant and to not take our freedoms lightly. The defense of our country must always be a priority. We must be smart and strong in opposition to those who despise us.

Today, we face another unseen enemy in the COVID 19 virus. Like a terrorist, it has killed many and damaged our economy. However, our resolve remains strong, and we are confident that together, we can overcome this hurdle.

The USA is made up of many backgrounds, colors and creeds, and we do not agree all of the time on many issues. However, we all do agree on one thing, and that is that we all love freedom. We can do anything, and overcome anything, worki...

The real estate market is alive and well in Coweta County. We have seen quite a big pickup in demand in the last week or two. It appears that people have been looking at homes and land online during the shelter in place period, looking at our virtual tours, but now they are ready to see the real thing. We have, also, seen a significant increase in commercial and industrial properties. With all the industrial activity around the Moreland I-85 interchange area, we now are seeing increased interest in the Grantville interchange area, as well. I-85 South is now a hot market. Senoia and the North Coweta County remain strong markets and historic downtown Newnan is starting to awaken. We are amazed at the resiliency of the Coweta County market. We are expecting a big push in activity from now through September of this year due to low interest rates and pent up demand. It is a great time to be a buyer...

Looking Back at 2019 and Forward to 2020.

As we now look back on 2019, it has been an interesting year.

In spite of all the fights between the Democrats and the Republicans.

In spite of weather that was much hotter than normal and in spite of the tariff fights with China and Mexico.

We found that lower interest rates and a booming economy provided us with a fantastic real estate market in Newnan and Coweta County.

We saw a huge increase in home sales and therefore, in sale prices for homes.

Looking forward to 2020, we can expect more of the same because interest rates remain historically low and Newnan and Coweta County have become one the hottest real estate markets in Georgia. We have great medical facilities, super shopping, new industries and businesses, plus, we have a prime location on I-85 near Atlanta and the Atlanta airport. There is now much to see and do here, and our Newnan campus of the University of West Georgi...

Christmas 2019 at Lindsey's

This time of year we look back on the year and realize how blessed we have been. Despite so many headwinds, we have had an outstanding year. We have seen prayers answered and true miracles. We know that we should seek out ways that we can help the less fortunate in our community and in our world

There are so many opportunities to give back such as Toys for Tots, the Red Cross to help the devastated people in Bermuda, Angel House, Bridging the Gap, the AO House, the United Way, the Salvation Army, the Wounded Warrior Project, the American Cancer Society, and so many other worthy causes. It truly is more blessed to give than to receive, and we intend to always do our part to make the world a better place.

In our community we are fortunate to have Piedmont Hospital and the Cancer Treatment Centers of America available to us health wise ...
