Around Athens: Hot Corner

Well after being "snowed in" for 2 days and schools being closed for a week life is kind of getting back to normal. In lieu of not having something else to post about....Here are some more pictures from around Athens, taken a month or so ago.

This section of Around Athens is Hot Corner. Hot Corner is a historic place in Athens. "During the early 1900s, the corner of Washington and Lumpkin Streets, nicknamed "The Hot Corner," was the center of cultural life in the Black community." The first picture is of the Morton Theater which was the first ever African American Theater in the South. It is still used a lot as a theater for concerts, performances, and church services. Our church met here for a while before we out grew the space. The second picture is of Trapeeze Pub, it is a local favorite of ours. The Morton and Trapeeze are across the street from each other and the 3rd picture is of both of them.
