  Love your house. Is it very old? I have always dreamed of buying an old house and restoring it. This looks like a picture out of a storybook:)Ruth Baird Shaw
• picture is perfect. It would be a perfect picture to email to Fox News (channel 52) When i had TV on Fox News an hour or so ago...they were asking for snow pictures from the South. You could do a little slumming and send that one? <smile> You want me to send it?

  Lillian and Brannon ...does it make you homesick to see your beautiful home surrounded with picture book snow?

  I had no idea you lived on this street. My aunt used to live in the little one story at the end of the street and I and my cousins would slide down the levy on flattened cardboard boxes. I love Ave. A and all the fun times I had there. There were big pecan trees in the yard and my grandfather would sit in the swing and whittle. He lived with my aunt. Beautiful houses there. Send this photo to Fox. It is so beautiful.

  A little. I've only gotten snowed in to work since I've lived here.

  Gordon lived up the street on the opposite side... green asbestos siding and lots of ironwork on the front porch.

January 10, 2011 The mouth of Burwell creek on the Oostanaula directly across the river from our house. (This is the creek that will be channelized and th wetland that will be filled with huge quantities of fill material if the city goes through with its unconscionable plan to sell part of our downtown greenspace for a song to the Ledbetter developers for yet another strip mall. Write the city commissioners and the newspaper!) Ann Gore: Hope that doesn't happen. So beautiful!!

Nan Payne Rhinehart: It won't look like a postcard if Ledbetter gets it.

Buddy Mitchell Plaza is not only a beautiful little memorial to a great civic leader, but (and most folks don't know this) it is also his final resting place. His ashes are mixed with the mortar used to construct the relief sculpture and fountain.

 

January 22, 2011 Confederate memorial atop Myrtle Hill, Rome GA, Jan. 12, 2011, sunset. Barbara Helie: Just beautiful. would make a lovely picture hanging on the wall.:

What a lovely spot to "rest in peace".

The confluence of the Oostanaula and Etowah where they form the Coosa, the South Broad Bridge, and Bridge Point Plaza.
