Richard Weisser - Coweta Fayette Real Estate - Newnan homes for sale

The stark, cold light beset the planes
Of wall, and pane and sash aglow
The eerie light of lamp dispersed
O're piles of rocks arranged by row.

Downtown Newnan Georgia is still a great place to walk at night. The streets are well lit, with broad sidewalks and safe pedestrian crossings.

Most of the restaurants and the coffee shop are open well into the evening, so it's a great place to have a bite to eat and enjoy the historic architecture, bathed in the light of the streetlamps!

It's a journey back in time, as the setting could easily have been the same in the 1940's or 50's. So why not try a walk in downtown Newnan after dark. It's quite an experience!

It has always been a curiosity of mine, when do Christmas lights go up on the outside of a house and when do you take them down?

It's not an easy consideration. After all, if you go to a lot of trouble to put them up, you want to enjoy then for more than a few days.

Not surprisingly, I have made an extensive study of this issue and find that the majority are turned on two weeks before Christmas. The peak is the weekend before Christmas, as some people leave town and the lights go out!

In the South, we have a dilemma. Old time Southerners believe it's bad luck to have the Christmas decorations up on New Year's Day, so many go down the day after Christmas. Yankee transplants like me insist on them burning through the holidays and sometimes beyond!

For me, typically they're up the weekend after Thanksgiving through the day after New Years. We enjoy the decorations so longer is better. For the first time this year they went up the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving.

Just wondering how this varies throughout the land and beyond. What do you do about decorating? When do yours go up and when do you take them down?

Historic Fayette County Georgia is rife with landmarks and reminders of the past. Many historic buildings, mills and cemeteries give us a window from which to view the way things were in days gone by!

The Fayette County Courthouse was constructed in 1825, making it the oldest remaining in the state of Georgia. The clock tower was added in 1888, and the building has been remodeled several times.

The courthouse fell victim to arsonists in 1983, but the damage was limited enough to retain the original structure and the building survived. Although government operations have been moved to a new and larger building, the old courthouse still houses the Chamber of Commerce and has several meeting rooms.

The courthouse sits in the square in the center of old downtown Fayetteville, and may be one of the most photographed buildings in the state. The photograph in this article was taken in the late 1990's with Christmas lights and a dusting of snow, very unusual in Georgia!

If you have never visited Fayetteville Georgia, put it on your list of "must photograph" places. There are many photographic opportunities that are not to be missed!

The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year. Retailers go to great lengths to try to outdo each other, by having great sales and by modifying their hours.

Most stores around these parts opened at 5:00 A.M. this morning. I never understand why anyone would deliberately drag themselves out of a nice warm bed, and go out and brave the cold for the privilege of making a purchase.

And it's not just a handful of people that participate in the annual ritual. These early store opening attract HUGE throngs of bargain seekers. By 7:00 A.M. the parking lots are full.

My wife, who works at a local department store, arose at three this morning to get ready for work. And of course, she went to bed early last night, and tossed and turned with dread and apprehension. She knows that it goes with the territory, and she's a trooper, but that doesn't mean that she likes it!

As for me, I don't feel compelled to purchase fragrance at five o'clock in the morning. But what do I know? I seem to be in the minority in that way of thinking!
