Day One - Thursday Night

Get ready!

heard around town - what’s happening in augusta and aiken

The Whistle Stop Café, the beloved local breakfast joint on the corner of Sixth and Greene streets, closed last year. Soon, it will be back in business.


“I found out on a Friday that the owner was pursuing other interests and that I had till the end of the day Saturday to get whatever I could from the place,” says Barry Hager, who managed and cooked at the Whistle Stop alongside waitress Tammy Salter. “It was a real shame, because I know a lot of people who did not expect it to close and who missed getting their breakfast on the way to work.”

LIVING GREEN: Reduce, Reuse, Recyle Should Be the Mantra

The concept of sustainable living or “going green” is getting a lot of attention these days. In fact, everything we do has an impact on the environment. The choices you make – from where you live, to how you shop, to what you do for vacation – determine whether that impact is good or bad.  Making choices that help the environment is easy when you follow the 3R’s of resource conservation: reduce, reuse and recycle.
