a presentation to Ector will
be encouraged to do so.
Also during the celebra-

the road to be closed for several days.
Signs were placed along Ga. Hwy. 54 from 1-
85 to the downtown area advising motorists, esper:
eially tractor-trailers, that Main Street was closeff':
to through traffic.
This did not create a problem for small pas-
senger vehicles as they could turn on Oak Street
and cross the railroad tracks at East Boyd Road,

On Friday, Mar. 7, two ribbon cut-
.tings were held to officially open,new
businesses on Main Street in
Hogansville. i
Attended by city officials, residents
and visitors, the first ribbon cutting took
place at Scarlett's Attic Antiques and
More.
Scarlett's Attic is located in the build-
ing that previously housed Hogansville
Pharmacy.
WHILE THE outside has not
changed much, the entire interior of the
building has been refurbished and bears
little resemblance to the pharmacy.
The renovation is a grand example
of an old building being repurposed.
The building was purchased by Alan
and B.J. Boyer and had a soft opening
on Mar. 1.
The second business celebrating a
ribbon cutting was Best Little
Warehouse Antiques, located where the
Hummingbird Mall used to be.
WITH HUMMINGBIRD Mall clos-
ing, the Boyers decided to open a busi-
ness in that building as well.
The Hummingbird Mall actually
featured a collection of vendors and
some of those are anticipated to remain.
There is room in the Best Little
Warehouse for quality consignment
and those interested can stop by
store, or Born Again Antiques, or call
404-422-8504 to learn more.
THOUGH both stores offer differ-
ent merchandise and ufiique items, the
inventories are best described as indus-
trial, primitive, and rustic items, along
with vintage lighting, collectibles, and
antiques.
SCARLETT'S Attic and the Best
Little Warehouse are scheduled to be
open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through
Saturday. Both will be closed on Sundays
and Mondays.
