Buying a Home in Athens, GA

Posted: 29 May 2011 10:04 PM PDT

Athens officially became a town in December 1806 with a government made up of a three-member commission. The university continued to increase , as did the town, with cotton mills propelling the industrial and commercial development. Athens became known as the “Manchester of the South” after the city in England known for its mills. In 1833 a group of Athens businessmen compelled by James Camak, grew weary of their wagons getting stuck in the mud, built one of Georgia’s first railroads, the Georgia, connecting Athens to Augusta by 1841, and to Marthasville (now Atlanta) by 1845.

During the time of the American Civil War, Athens became a significant supply center when the New Orleans armory was moved to what is now the called the Chicopee building. Fortifications can still be found along parts of the North Oconee River between College and Oconee St. In addition, Athens played a small part in the ill-fated Stoneman Raid when a skirmish was fought on a site overlooking the Middle Oconee River near what is now the old Macon Highway. Like so many southern towns, Athens still hosts a confederate memorial that is located on Broad St, near the University of Georgia Arch.

During Reconstruction, Athens continued to grow. The form of government changed to a mayor-council government with a new city charter on August 24, 1872 with Captain Henry Beusse as the first mayor of Athens. Henry Beusse wasfundamental in the rapid growth of the city after the Civil War. After holding the position of mayor he assumed work in the railroad industry and helped to bring railroads to the region creating growth in many of the surrounding communities. Freed slaves moved to the city, many attracted by the new centers for education such as the Freedman’s Bureau. This new population was served by three black newspapers – the Athens Blade, the Athens Clipper , and the Progressive Era.

In the 1880s as Athens became more densely populated city services and improvements were undertaken. The Athens Police Department was founded in 1881 and public schools opened in fall of 1886. Telephone service was introduced in 1882 by the Bell Telephone Company. Transportation improvements were also introduced with a street paving program beginning in 1885 and streetcars, pulled by mules, in 1888.

What is the best individual insurance for a pregnant woman?

Posted: 29 May 2011 05:04 PM PDT

I just found out i am 5 weeks pregnant and dont currently have insurance. My husbands works and his employer offers insurance for the family for 0.00/mo, which is completely ridiculous and not affordable for us right now. I stay at home with my daughter in Missouri, but we are having a hard time getting medicaid. Any advice. Thanks…

Hi, I’m Chris Klau and I’m a director here at Quicken Loans. Often times we get the question from clients “How often should I look at my home finances?” And while there’s no specific rule for every situation, you generally want to look at your finances every 6 to 12 months. That way you can make sure that you’re always managing two things that are always changing. Number one is your life – that’s always changing, new life events are always happening so we want to make sure you’re managing your mortgage around the changes in your life. The other thing that’s always changing is the mortgage market and the guidelines that mortgages are based on. So you want to make sure that you’re always connecting the changes in your life with the changes in the market to make sure you’re taking advantage of all the opportunities that are out there to put yourself in a better position. So definiately make sure you’re checking in as often as possible, there’s never a time where you can check in too much, and if you have any other questions, give us a call today.
