I miss the old Newnan

Vent #2 - (this is kinda therapeutic, and theres nothing better than FREE therapy) haha ok but seriously.... back to my vent.... - I love Newnan but I miss the old Newnan. So many small businesses have went under and are continuing to go under. It's sad. Before long we are going to be some huge city, and it makes me sad. I remember years ago, when Newnan was small, and there were no BIG stores here. When you went out, most people knew each other, traffic was a breeze for the most part, it was safe, and really kinda just a nice, quiet southern place to live. Now its hectic, traffic is horrible, too many people here, too many red lights that aren't synched, it's a nightmare. I hate having to leave my house to go anywhere now. Whats something you miss about old Newnan? How it used to be here? Let's reminisce.... Valarie Hayes via Facebook

Art Walk

I enjoy things like the art walk downtown, it encourages people to visit local businesses while seeing the work of local artists. why not a day long event downtown with music & vendors, utilizing the parks and court square as venues for shows put on every couple of hours culminating with an evening concert at the auditorium, encouraging people to walk around town and see what the local business and music scene has to offer. vendors could have booths all over town selling merchandise, turn the entire town into a festival for a Saturday...

Coweta County best deal

Wish it wasn't announced that Coweta County is the best deal to live in for Georgia. Now everyone will come & we already knew it! Angie Whitlock

Georgias Immigration Law

Every state needs to have a similar law since the federal government seems unable or unwilling to do anything. Illegals are deteriorating this country. Our kids get less of an education by being forced to teach in a second language. If you want to pay for their medical, schooling their anchor babies get out your checkbook. How many people do you think are killed or injured every year by illegals with no drivers license and no business driving?.. a lot, I could list 3 I know of right now.  Enough... deport every last one of them and close the borders. If you can't follow the laws you have no business being here, we have enough criminals of our own. And why is it the ACLU only seems concerned when they can defend the rights of a criminal ? Yes they are hard workers but some of our own lazy Americans need to step up to the plate and take some of these jobs. How is it that so many Americans cannot find work but all these "immigrants" can come here and not even speak English but have no problem finding a job ? Wake up and smell the coffee America if you want to keep it. To many Americans have fought hard and made sacrifices to give us what we have for anyone to take it for granted. It's time to stop spending taxpayer money to support them and do something to fix the problem.

Overly cautious drivers

Sometimes I think overly cautious drivers are just as dangerous as the crazy drivers stop hesitating and go!

Coweta Vietnam Veterans

Thank you to All the Coweta Vietnam Veterans who served in our armed forces.So many were young but patriotic and gave up so much. They all deserve to have a United States Flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in thier honor of thier service and present to them. This can be done Coweta!! Let's get together!!

For any of you who do not salute ALL of our Coweta Veterans, please pack up and move to another county!! Thanks!!

"Graduation" Block Party in Senoia

This sounds like just another excuse for all the thugs to get together http://youtu.be/ARHHTgGpumI . Kinda a mini Freaknik in Senoia. What a joke, who would approve a permit for something like this. They had to call in Fayette County and Coweta Deputies to clear them out last year. Notice the "related videos" that are puled up when you play it.

The problem with Newnan

The problem with newnan and coweta county is the same now as it has always been. if you dont go to church with, sleep with, work with, are in business with, drink with or are married to or related to any of the "powers that be" you are treated poorly and have no voice, and god help you if you try to do anything not approved of. if you do they will rain down on you like a hurricane.

Times Herald

Why are all these people waging personal attacks against the Times-Herald ?? I think they do a pretty good job of reporting with a fair balanced viewpoint. What have they done to make these people so against them ? Anyway if you don't like it don't read it !

Child Support

Can anyone explain to me why you can not call and talk to anyone at the Child Support Enforcement office? You have to go over every time there is a problem (which I have had many) or even to ask a question. I know of NO OTHER State office you can not call.

Also this past week I had to go over on Tuesday and was told they had been off the past two business days (the Friday and on the Monday) The Friday was a Furlough day and the Monday was for a holiday? Confederate Memorial Day. Does this not make any sense to anyone else? Why would they have a Furlough day and then have a Holiday that no one else does or I've heard no mention of. The US Post office ran and was open. Maybe the state budget can be balanced if some of the holidays that aren't observed by any other business be used as a Holiday off from work. Then there wouldn't be a need for Furlough days

The Bypass

Will the bypass lane additions between 29 and Bullsboro ever be finished, by the time they finish we'll need 2 more lanes ! And that ditch across the road where you turn into Food Lion is eventually going to swallow a car, been that way over a year !

Nulink

Nulink must have taken a direct hit during the storm the cable ,internet, phone was out all day ! Gave up on trying to call.

Bypass

Will the 4 lane of the Bypass ever be finished ??? Hopefully before the pothole at 29 and the bypass swallow the whole intersection !

Sunday alcohol sales

In Winona Lake, Wisconsin, it is illegal to eat ice cream at a counter on Sunday. And don't expect to order a slice of cherry pie a la mode in Kansas on the Lord's Day. No restaurant is allowed to serve it unless they're willing to run afoul of local police. Marbles, Dominoes, and yo-yos are also banned on Sundays in a handful of states. Maybe Georgia will finally come out of the dark ages on this antiquated law. I mean really so it's okay to get smashed in a restaurant on Sundays but you can't buy it to take it home and drink ? Ridiculous ! contributed by anonymous

SPLOST

Thank goodness the SPLOST passed with such a wide margin! It is an extension of something we and all the shoppers from out of town have already been paying. Our students will benefit from the wisdom of the voters! Posted by Citizen

Get some rock salt , save a lawsuit

 Local business owners should be a little more prepared for snow and ice, the sidewalks and parking areas around town were terrible with the ice storm. Keep a few bags of Halite Salt on hand and avoid a lawsuit ! This stuff melted my driveway in 5 min after it had been frozen 4 days.

Roads

Anyone know when the traffic light will be installed at Hwy 154 and Hammock?

 

Anyone know when Sam’s Club will be open in Newnan?

 

Anyone know if Baker Road, which is heavily traveled between Hwys 34 & 154, will be widened and resurfaced?  It is narrow and a patchy mess right now!

Starship

Congratulations to Starship and it's owner on finally getting open, maybe the county won't waste any more taxpayer money on trying to keep this legitimate business from opening !

King Roy

King Roy, your 22 million could not win the last race. Maybe you have not eaten enough humble pie. Since your blue state flag did not fly, you might try purple or pink. Why do you want to be governor anyway? More money or just a power trip?

How about some positive vents!!

Should the vent be used for all negative vents??  How about some positive vents!!  There are so many great reasons to live in Coweta County!!  Come on upbeat citizens - give us some happy food for thought today! :0)

good ol boy attitude

---

As a newnan knight, I have a hard time accepting the good ol boy attitude of who you know and who how well off your family is. Stop riding the coat tails of your fathers and grandfathers, gain some integrity, and make your own way it this big world. Try all this with a smile and a little compassion for your fellow neighbor. Stop with greed and the self centered attitude where everything revolves around big money to others expense. You will find that laying your head down at night will be easier.

What ever happened to young ladies acting like young ladies?

What ever happened to young ladies acting like young ladies?  My family and I went to the ECHS Homecoming Game tonight and wow have things changed since I was in high school!!!  I would lay money on the fact that there were no less than 100 girls ages 14-17 walking around in sports bras and extremely short shorts with their stomachs painted.  Really?  There were even adults with a booth set up to paint these young girls!!  I was in utter shock that the school would allow this to go on. There was no way in the world that we as students would have been able to represent our school at a function like that back in my high school days.  I am very disappointed that the school officials allow these things to go on!!!
