During last year's Augusta Photo Festival, I had the opportunity to visit several of Augusta's historic but vacant downtown buildings. I'd driven past this building dozens of times, but never knew what it had been.. Among other things, it served as a boot factory. </div>

When I first walked into this nearly 100 year old school, I was immediately taken back to my elementary school, which was probably of the same vintage. It wasn't hard to imagine students lining these halls.</div>

I was a volunteer for the 2012 Augusta Photo Festival and had the good fortune to assist with several of the photography workshops held at the Heritage Academy in downtown Augusta. <br />
<br />
From 1916 to 2000, the facility was known as the Houghton School. After extensive renovation, the school was opened in 2007 as the Heritage Academy. <br />
<br />
Heritage Academy is an independent school offering an education to children of diverse economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds, empowering them to become a positive influence. Heritage Academy has an intentional mission to the children of low-income familiesEleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829145289362776409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261551955729256118.post-89237067756514873652012-12-25T00:01:00.000-05:002012-12-25T00:01:00.498-05:00Merry Christmas Everyone<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
The Night Before Christmas</div>
<div align="center">
By Clement C. Moore</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><strong>'T</strong>was the night before Christmas, when all through the house </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>T</strong>he children were nestled all snug in their beds,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>W</strong>hen out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Away to the window I flew like a flash,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>T</strong>he moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>W</strong>ith a little old driver, so lively and quick,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More rapid than eagles his coursers they same,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>N</strong>ow, <em>Dasher</em>! now, <em>Dancer</em>! now, <em>Prancer</em> and <em>Vixen</em>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On, <em>Comet</em>! on, <em>Cupid</em>! on, <em>Donner</em> and <em>Blizen</em>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>A</strong>s dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St. Nicholas too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>A</strong>nd then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>H</strong>e was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And he looked like a pedlar just opening his pack.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>H</strong>is eyes - how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>T</strong>he stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had a broad face and a little round belly,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>H</strong>e was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>H</strong>e spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And laying his finger aside of his nose,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>H</strong>e sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><strong>HAPPY CHRISTMAS </strong></span></div>

<br />
After the cards are written and mailed, the tree decorated, the wreath hung, the candles placed in the windows, the shopping done and the packages wrapped, I get into the Christmas spirit by popping the 1938 version of <em>A Christmas Carol </em>in the DVD player and when its over, the 1951 version with Alastair Sim as Scrooge.<br />
<br />
Of all of the movie and tv renditions of this Christmas classic, these two are my favorites and the season is not complete until I've watched them both.<br />
<br />
Some years ago in Paris, I picked up a copy of <em>Un Chant de Noel. </em>As a not-so-good student of the French language, I thought this familiar story would be an easy read and for the most part it is.<br />
<br />
Tonight, I watched the 1938 version with French subtitles! A new tradition has been borne.<br />

I visited the Magnolia Cemetery today and I came across many family plots with this marker - Perpetual Care C.C.A. I can't imagine how the small amount initially paid could come close to providing this service today. There were so many graves that obviously haven't been visited by family members in last fifty years. But, those that were at least had the occasional veteran's flag or vase of flowers and fewer weeds. <br />
<br />
I was especially drawn to the gated plots belonging to the former pillars of the community. Most, like the one below were in disrepair.<br />

<br />The Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception and its Academy were built and dedicated in 1913 by the African Missionary Fathers of the Catholic Church. Located on the corner of Gwinnett Street (now Laney-Walker Boulevard) and Eleventh Street, the original two buildings of red brick consisted of the church and its parochial school. Taught by the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception whose convent and boarding school were a block away on Twelfth Street, the school attracted African American students of all faiths. With two additional buildings added later in the 20th century, the campus had been a cornerstone in the Laney-Walker neighborhood for nearly a century. <br />
<br />Although the Church was closed in the 1974, the school remained at this site until 2009, when it moved to Telfair Street and Eighth Street. Last week, the old Immaculate Conception School - attended by my grandmother, my father and his seven brothers and sisters, was demolished. Next week, I suspect that the church building, shown below, will follow suit. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's after dusk on tranquil Walton Way, located in the Summerville section of Augusta. The tree line, light tails of passing cars and the flowing fountain are shown in the background. Soon the azaleas will be in bloom and golf-mania, otherwise known as the Masters Tournament, will be rampant in Augusta. Despite the throngs of visitors from near and far, traffic jams, packed restaurants and the general disruption of daily life most in Augusta can hardly wait! </div>Eleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829145289362776409noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261551955729256118.post-45430323376960949582012-03-08T00:01:00.005-05:002012-03-08T20:02:36.658-05:00New Savannah Cemetery<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1WDRf-WmUr5bWs_FKzjAaPyouLDYIexVW1Vy15l9IGR4362L0_IK1Qjb4_wWHKSvBVzP3zxBpP9XGAVPQ-SgB3NzROI1LQJGAkDhWQvZhpUx846TvBmxK8WFUc7Bx8KrLy7SB3uPTAIE/s1600/New+Savannah+Cemetery+I.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1WDRf-WmUr5bWs_FKzjAaPyouLDYIexVW1Vy15l9IGR4362L0_IK1Qjb4_wWHKSvBVzP3zxBpP9XGAVPQ-SgB3NzROI1LQJGAkDhWQvZhpUx846TvBmxK8WFUc7Bx8KrLy7SB3uPTAIE/s640/New+Savannah+Cemetery+I.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Yesterday, the Augusta Richmond County Public Library hosted the first annual Augusta Literary Festival, which included more than 50 local authors. The Augusta community was able to meet authors, hear excerpts of their work and get signed copies of their books. The Friends of the Library Book Shop had a vintage typewriter on display - it was curiosity to many.Eleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829145289362776409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261551955729256118.post-1930996089443498212012-03-03T00:25:00.002-05:002012-03-03T00:27:45.775-05:00Augusta Block Bricks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidxzjJR-AtSmCnyN5keoJ-iPFoHS1vU7IwuEf9YDDsDe8iPI5YvPld_3wlAaVQE6Rc0R_1Rzy8FcmWYOpqXxun2nR3F-zP5g_PyQFgdZQ1Hp2QnEEzFEWZLiGovhje0fsg0BLbnKVyjU/s1600/Augusta+Bricks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidxzjJR-AtSmCnyN5keoJ-iPFoHS1vU7IwuEf9YDDsDe8iPI5YvPld_3wlAaVQE6Rc0R_1Rzy8FcmWYOpqXxun2nR3F-zP5g_PyQFgdZQ1Hp2QnEEzFEWZLiGovhje0fsg0BLbnKVyjU/s400/Augusta+Bricks.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

As I sought to find any information about these 'Augusta' Bricks, I discovered that a Florida blog - <a href="http://stpeteproject.blogspot.com/">The St. Pete Project</a> posted photos of Augusta and other named city bricks on January 23, 2012. The only information I could find was the following from an Augusta Chronicle article written in 1999.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">GEORGIA VITRIFIED CLAY CO., Harlem, GA</span><br />
From <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/1999/11/16/met_274468.shtml"><span style="color: #5588aa;">The Augusta Chronicle</span></a></span>: Georgia Vitrified Brick and Clay Co. opened in 1902. The main part of the institution was at Campania, about two miles outside Harlem. One of the company's founding officers, Frank R. Clark, was instrumental in helping locate the first bank in Columbia County, at Harlem, in November 1905.<br />
<br />
The company's kilns were used to produce sewer pipes, chimney liners, flues, tiles and other clay products. During its heyday, the enterprise rented small apartment homes in Belair to house many of its employees at Campania and its mines.<br />
<br />
The company's legacies include bricks embossed with the "AUGUSTA BLOCK" trademark, manufactured and produced through the 1940s.<br />
<br />
These bricks still can be found at some locations across the South. They are on some walkways near Riverwalk Augusta and Daniel Village, and some are embedded in highways throughout the vicinity. Old courthouse and cemetery yards in Georgia still yield the famed bricks that were processed at the ovens in Campania. Moreover, many also can be found in areas of Florida such as Tampa and St. Petersburg.<br />
<br />
The company was sold in 1995 to an Indiana firm. Its facility at Campania has been used primarily as a distribution point.Eleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829145289362776409noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261551955729256118.post-19074580301518629812012-03-02T00:01:00.002-05:002012-03-02T23:10:48.383-05:00Gardner Family Cemetery Gate<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIBf3DJalGWnhbw9_u7tx7C0IsoMNUcKU9klZwlqT03Dgvb7GP3xg_uMZxa3lhGyjVjVneFqvAm1kYD_3ZySpTKONs6oZ_jQbF8N5DekI8ZXDZoztwi1dFhLiQZUWwlgoF-TwEGPsKQVc/s1600/Garnder+Family+Cemetery+Gate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIBf3DJalGWnhbw9_u7tx7C0IsoMNUcKU9klZwlqT03Dgvb7GP3xg_uMZxa3lhGyjVjVneFqvAm1kYD_3ZySpTKONs6oZ_jQbF8N5DekI8ZXDZoztwi1dFhLiQZUWwlgoF-TwEGPsKQVc/s400/Garnder+Family+Cemetery+Gate.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Eleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829145289362776409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261551955729256118.post-19488206367940864192012-03-01T10:23:00.001-05:002012-03-01T10:26:51.735-05:00Power Grid?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEESOD0OrkHg96olq1P6zBpa1aXWnc7ni3galX-jh9BUG41TxyQeIC5bm3XWDN7pFXNaNLm7lRjaRLz5KoZMBY8nSi1vY9P7BYOCS3TVjUM_QndGrI5Ly8BNoOngkW2iqnPO7kT2YO9Wg/s1600/Power+Grid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEESOD0OrkHg96olq1P6zBpa1aXWnc7ni3galX-jh9BUG41TxyQeIC5bm3XWDN7pFXNaNLm7lRjaRLz5KoZMBY8nSi1vY9P7BYOCS3TVjUM_QndGrI5Ly8BNoOngkW2iqnPO7kT2YO9Wg/s400/Power+Grid.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
