Senoia coffeehouse gets makeover for ‘The Walking Dead’

Is it the Senoia Coffee & Cafe on Main Street in Senoia or is it the Woodbury Coffee House? Actually it’s both. The landmark Senoia Coffee & Cafe was transformed Wednesday into the Woodbury Coffee House as part of the set for “The Walking Dead” television show that is currently filming in downtown Senoia. Merchants want shoppers to know the businesses are still open during filming; you just have to enter through the back doors. Photo/Maggie Zerkus.

‘The Walking Dead’ zombies poised to invade Senoia

It looks like the beginnings of a theater in the vacant lot on the south side of Main Street in Senoia. But it’s not. And it looks like a revamping of the railroad complete with boxcars at Main and Gin streets. But it’s not.

Senoia rocks on Memorial Day

It was the perfect occasion for flag-waving during the parade at the annual Senoia Memorial Day event that runs each year from morning until night. These kids were among the thousands that lined Main Street to see nearly 70 parade entries pass by. Photo/Ben Nelms

One has to look no further than Senoia to find a massive celebration each Memorial Day. That was the case again this year when thousands of people converged on the downtown area for the festivities that began Monday morning and ended after sunset.

As usual, the center of the day’s event was downtown at Main Street and Seavy Street where the stage and speakers were positioned. And those events began at 10:30 a.m. with a performance by the Georgia Dolls Baton Twirlers and was followed with songs from 15 year-old Krysta Nick. Read More»

Senoia library opens to large crowd

The kids from the Coweta Charter Academy at Senoia were front and center Wednesday afternoon for the ribbon cutting of the new Senoia library. And they were surrounded by a host of Senoia and Coweta County officials responsible for the completion of the library project located at Marimac Lakes Park. Photo/Ben Nelms.

It’s about a picturesque a setting as it gets. For a home it would be a pleasure but as a library it is nearly beyond belief. And it was at that setting on Wednesday that a large crowd gathered for the opening of the new Senoia library on Pylant Street.

The 6,563 square-foot library is situated on 1.04-acres on Pylant Street and is bound on the north by residential property, on the south by the city-owned Marimac Lake. The library has parking space for 35 vehicles. Read More»
