Santa Claus will arrive soon, and, hopefully none of us will be disappointed in our gifts, because over 2000 years ago we received the greatest gift of all!

The little baby who was born in Bethlehem in the lowliest of circumstances is that wonderful gift from God. He looked down and saw man's situation, without hope, and he gave us HOPE for eternal life.

A gift undeserved, for sure, but because of his GIFT, we all have a chance for eternal life, simply by believing in that little baby, Jesus, the true Messiah, A/K/A The Christ!

The shepherds were t...

The local real estate market in Coweta County has a lot to be thankful for this year. We may not think about it, but one of the most obvious reasons is our close proximity to the busiest airport in the world and the city of Atlanta. Another reason is that the fact that interstate 85 runs through the middle of our county. Coweta has attracted many types of industry and businesses through the years but big names like Amazon and Goodyear are here now. The Coweta County Development Authority does a nice job of bringing in prospective businesses to our area. Personally, I am seeing more and more employees from large companies like Chick-Fil-A , Coca-Cola and Delta purchase homes in Coweta as opposed to the northside of Atlanta. Having an affordable cost of living with attractive housing options helps us attract new people here. Having a good school system really helps as this is a very important facto...

Has the real estate market slowed down? I receive this question a lot. The simple answer is yes. However, the market is still very busy and it is still a strong seller's market. The number of closings in Coweta County this year has decreased 5.53% since peaking in July, per the Georgia Multiple Listing Service (GAMLS). The number of closings was down 12.8%, year over year, from last September.

Another question I am often asked is about the number of homes available on the market. The listing inventory is still historically low. In June of this year there were 392 new listings on the GAMLS. That number was down to 274 in September, a 30% decrease. The number of new listings was down 13.3%, year over year, from September 2020.

As you might expect with the number of properties for sale down and demand remaining steady, the prices are still increasing. The average sales price in Co...

As I write this, it is the latter part of October and Halloween is approaching.  Usually, there are ghosts and goblins and other scary things about.

This year, it is the Los Angeles Dodgers that are scaring everyone.  Last year, the Braves were up three games to one over the Dodgers and we felt confident that the Braves would be in the World Series.  However, the bizarre happened and the Dodgers won the next three games and they went to the World Series and won.

This year, guess what, the Braves again lead the Dodgers three games to one, and they play the next two games in Atlanta.  Again, the Braves duly need to win one game to reach the World Series.  Will they win this year, or will the big bad Dodgers win again?  We will know this weekend.  So, stay tuned.

As a lifelong Braves fan, I know that the Dodgers have always bee...

Jerome Dunson, Newnan High School Class of 69, died on July 31, 2021. We lose more of our friends each year, and we miss them—each contributed to our class and our high school experience. Nevertheless, Jerome's passing struck us especially hard. He was not only a great athlete, friend, and person; Jerome was also a pioneer, a trailblazer and a peacemaker.

Many of you remember the turbulent times of the late 60s. Integration was a new and challenging frontier. Many of us believe that Jerome was a major reason there was no violence and very little trouble at Newnan High School during this time; he became the face of integration for the Class of 69.

Jerome's skills on the field and court made him well known, and his personality, charm, and attitude made him a friend to all who knew him. Placed in the spotlight at Newnan High School, his life, attitude, and many con...
