Couple of Vining Updates

...Has it that a few want some new "stuff" found or developing; there is a scheduled talk at the Vinings Club on Sept 11th for members interested in Vinings history and preservation.
I noted in reviewing a 2006 study done by the county on historically significant properties, that Vinings only had one entry - the Vest Hodge house as "representative" of a period construction style. Otherwise no significance was noted on Vinings. Good grief... This is a guideline study referenced by the county, which is being selectively annotated by making copies of "Vinings Revisited" available to the powers that be.
The summer upkeep on the Pace and Vinings Cemeteries is stretched in the first instance, and non-existent on the second. Any organizations or groups who would be interested in a day cleanup event are urged to let me know so I can pass it on. I'll help.
Anyone who has not had the opportunity to visit the Pace Cemetery and view Atlanta from the crest of Vinings Mt, will be amazed at the concentration of associated history there. If wanting access, I can often arrange a time...
