fireworks extravaganzas at 9:30pm. The skies above Jefferson Park will light up when Pyro Produc

presents a fully digitally fired show, synchronized within 1/8 of a second to a recorded score. In ord

Brian D. Frey

Summer is here and the winterdoldrums are safely packed away until next year.

Without much warning the warmer temperatures

have snuck in and established residency here in

Georgia. It was just over 1 year ago when my

partner Troy and I moved into this neighborhood

called Jefferson Park.

Being that this was our first home

purchase, we certainly had no idea what to

expect. Living in Midtown for 3 years we were

used to mostly quiet, institutional-like hallways;

neighbors with faces but no names and the ever

present rumblings of the city only 5 floors below.What greeted us when we moved into this

historic, charming neighborhood is definitely a

feeling that will live with us for the rest of our

lives; the feeling of community. We realize every

day, how special Jefferson Park really is. We

know most of our surrounding neighbors by

name and enjoy their company at cook-outs,

dinner parties, chatting in the yard or simply by

waving as they drive by. There are so many

definitions of community, but my favorite is: an

interacting population of various kinds of

individuals in a common location. Jefferson Parkis certainly anything but common.

I have quickly learned as well, that

contributing to your community is what helps it

to grow and thrive. Participation in JPNA events

is an important aspect of what being a close knit

neighborhood is all about. Moving here back in

March 2009, I would have never guessed that in

just over a year, I would become President of

the JPNA. It is a responsibility that I do not take

lightly, and I am very proud to serve the

community that welcomed us with open arms. If

you are interested in volunteering to help withone of our JPNA eventsplease let me know or

feel free to drop me a note anytime with any

ideas that you may have. YOU the residents of

this wonderful community are what make

Jefferson Park such a special place and what

helps the JPNA Board and Executive Committee

to be the best that we can be. I look forward to

greeting you at one of our monthly meetings or

out and about around our beautiful community.

See you around the neighborhood,

Brian

Mayor Pro TemporeEast Point City Council

The City Council approved the development of

the Parks and Recreation Master Plan for 2011 to

2020. There will be seven public meetings

through this process to allow the public an

opportunity to participate. Of course, I will keep

you informed as we move forward.

This is an important opportunity to take part in

formulating our parks system for the next 10

years. The Master Plan will help East Point receive

additional funding parks improvements. In

addition to the public participation, there will be

a steering committee of citizens to assist in the

process. I have recommended that we include the

Parks Commission as part of the steering

committee due to all of the participates on the

Parks Commission being citizen appointments.

I will send out the dates as we move forward into

the process. I hope that each of you will plan to

participate. Your voice will make a difference.

THE RESIDENTS OF JEFFERSON PARK THANK YOU

JULYChoosing a watermelon for the Fourth? Slap it

o determine ripeness. Good ones sound hollow;

nripe ones sound like you're hitting solid wood.

Regularly remove faded flowers from salvia,

nnia, coneflower and especially petunia. This

will encourage bushiness and the production ofmore flowers.

Remove all stems that support faded flowers

n your blue and pink hydrangeas; shorten

roopy, flowerless stems by one third. The new

rowth that occurs between now and winter will

roduce next summer's blooms.

There is still plenty of time to plant seed of

marigold, cosmos, cleome and dwarf sunflower.

hey'll make a spectacular flower show in six

weeks.

Support tall flower stems prone to flop over

fter a rain. Use a thin stick or a length of

amboo and some jute twine to tie the plant

pright.

AUGUST*Water figs deeply now as they begin to ripen.

Harvest every morning before the birds can do

their damage.

*The soil in outdoor clay pots dries out quickly.

Poke holes in it with a pencil to make sure water

saturates the soil when you tend your plants.*The best way to control snakes is to remove

their habitat. Move log piles, leaf piles and rock

piles to the edge of your yard, away from the

house.

*Prune tropical hibiscus plants you plan to bring

indoors. Reduce them to a size that will fit in

front of your sunniest window in December.

*Remove faded crape myrtle blooms and dry

seed clusters now. With a little water and

fertilizer, you may get more blooms in

September.

SEPTEMBER*Fertilize salvia and chrysanthemums with l

plant food. They will reward you with lots o

blooms later this fall.

*Examine your flower beds for tired out

perennials like Shasta daisy, black-eyed Sus

and purple coneflower. You can cut off deaflowers and brown foliage to neaten the pla

for fall.

*Preserve excess basil leaves by pureeing in

blender with a littlewater. Freeze the slushan ice tray and use the cubes in your winter

spaghetti sauce.

*Lightly trim back the tropical hibiscus you

outdoors for thesummer. Make plans for wyou'll place it indoors in bright light.

*Divide daylily, iris and monkey grass while

still have several weeks of warm weather to

encourage root growth.

Jefferson Park

Gardening Clubin full swingBy Brian D. Frey

Not only does Jefferson Park have a fabulous new vegetable garden club, the group has graciously accepted the maintena

responsibilities of our sometimes neglected markers. Plans are already under way to do seasonal plantings, and mowing for

summer. Group Founder Holly Roseberry leads the group and is excited about taking on this new project. I hope we can make

markers attractive and low maintenance -- isn't that every gardener's dream? says Roseberry. Thus far the group has built rai

bed gardens for some members homes, trekked to the Farmers Market in Forest Park for good soil, and visited various neighbo

gardens and yards for inspiration. During the spring, neighbors Bobby Willoughby, Cynthia Roseberry, Tondra Vest, Mari Bishop, A

Schneidinger, and Emmalee Iden pruned, raked, swept and cleaned up the Sylvan/Jefferson/Winburn marker. Plans to add muand pine straw are in the works. Look for e-blasts announcing dates and asking for volunteers. The club is open to anyone

efferson Park with an interest in vegetable gardening and getting together for group discussions. Updates are posted regularly

he groups Facebook page titled, Jefferson Park, GA Gardening Club. There you will find helpful gardening hints and great pictur

f you are interested in becoming involved please email [email protected].

Grapevine Spotlight on Local EP Businesses

Thumbs UpBy Andrew Nelson

Re-printed from the Jefferson Park Hub with permission

Thumbs Up dineris one of the mainstays in downtown East Point.

Like a magnet, it draws folks from all parts of south Fulton County

and beyond to the 80-seat diner, with its brick walls and exposed

ceiling. The manager, Dennis Maguire, spoke withAndrew Nelson

of the Jefferson Park Hub recently in between taking orders, filling

coffee mugs and clearing dirty plates. The Savannah native, who is

44, even spilled a secret about the best time to come to the

eatery when there is no wait.

What made you move to East Point? Dennis Maguire, General Manager of Thumbs UpA relationship and cheap housing. I lived in Midtown at the time. I fell in love with my homes front porch. We started the

neighborhood association, Center Park. This was before Oz Pizza, before anything. I like the small town atmosphere and the

close-knit feeling with friends.

How long have your been in the food service industry?

Twenty-eight years. My first job was as a bus boy at a country club in Savannah. I worked at a wine restaurant, a high-end

bistro in Buckhead, then at Park 75 in the Four Seasons Hotel. I was laid off after 9/11. The Brake Pad restaurant in College

Park opened and I applied. I was there for three years. When Thumbs Up opened, I came up here. Ive been here ever since

they opened five and a half years ago.

Tell me about Thumbs Up and what makes it so successful?

Its been recognized for its great breakfasts. Esquire Magazine in 2009 ranked us as one of the best breakfasts in the countrMSN.com last year put us in the top 50 breakfasts in the country. Everything is made fresh which makes a huge difference.

What are you most popular dishes?

The most popular breakfast here is the fried catfish and eggs. We batter it to order.

Why does Thumbs Up do so well when other nearby restaurants open and close so quickly?

The combination of food, service and atmosphere draws people to come back. We work to be responsive to the customers

What are some challenges to operating a business in downtown East Point?

Theres a lot of potential for the right businesses. People must do the research. You need to make sure your services attract

the dollar amount to stay in business.

The city has to attract more of the right businesses. They have to give incentives for business to come here. Also, the city an

the business community have to find a way to deal with people who just loiter downtown and interfere with customers.Finally, whats the best time on the weekends to avoid the lines of Thumbs Up fans?

On Saturday, the best bet is the first 30 minutes we open, which is at 8 a.m. Otherwise there is a constant flow until around

2:30 p.m.

Sunday, we get a lot of the people coming out of church. That means if people arrive before 9:30 a.m., the wait isnt too bad

On the weekdays, the tables gets filled close to 10 a.m., but otherwise, people can generally take a seat anywhere.

ts the 42 Games in the middlehat really countor at least how

you look at themy Robby Jackson

The 2010 Baseball season is under way. And I like it. I am hoping

hat we have a couple of pretty good pennant races as the season

winds down in September. Having the last game or two of the season

etermine who is in (or more importantly who is out), is baseball at its

est. But someone once said that even the worst major league

aseball teams win at least 60 games, and even the best teams will

ose 60 games. So what is really important is the other 42 games that

re played during the season. Take a look at last years standings and

ou will see that the best and worst teams from last year were the

ew York Yankees and the Washington Nationals. The Yankees went

03-59, and went on the win the 2009 World Series. Our hometown

tlanta Braves went 26-16 in those games in between the 60 wins and0 losses

o what am I trying to say here? Im not going to try to make an exact

orrelation between baseball and life, but I could. Life is like that.

There are good days and there are bad days. Days when you win

he double header or hit a grand slam and days when you get hung

with an 0-fer collar because you struck out every time you got up to

at. What is really neat about the comparison, is that each and every

ay is a new day. When you show up at the ball park the next day, the

core starts zero to zero. One of my favorite baseball movies is The

ookie

in which Dennis Quaid plays a high school baseball coach whoets a chance to play major league baseball because he has a 95 mph

astball. As he works up through the minor leagues, he gets really

scouraged. Hes gone from his family, the bills are piling up at home,

nd he is enduring long bus rides and jokes from his teammates

ecause he is so much older than they are. One night he walks

utside and sees the lights from a recreation field and watches some

ds playing baseball for a while before turning in. He comes into the

ocker room the next morning with a big grin on his face and walks up

o several players and asks the question, Guess what we get to do

oday? Not sure how to take this, they dont answer immediately.

e responds quickly to their silence by saying, We get to play baseball

oday!

We need to realize that not every day we have is going to be a

anner day. There may even be some days; we really do NOT want to

o to work. But please remember that every day IS a new day. The

core CAN really start at zero to zero each day if that is what we put

ur mind to. Knowing that we have just as much chance to win

odays game as any other day.

o lets be a little more like Dennis Quaids character in The Rookie

nd say, We get to play baseball today

Communities are becoming moreappealing to Americans

y Brian D. Frey

Jefferson Park may not be the best kept secret for long.

tudies show that more people are looking to get away

om the isolated McMansions and heading to

eighborhoods that epitomize what being a community is

l about. What neighborhoods and being neighborly was

ost World War II, is slowly but surely making its way back

nto the American lifestyle. According to a recent article in

arade Magazine, bucking the decades-long trend toward

olation, people around the country are finding new ways

o break down the barriers that separate neighbor from

eighbor.Jefferson Park is a special place with a mix of post World

War II brick homes and bungalows. With an amazingly

assic charm, Jefferson Park attracts a truly diverse mix of

ndividuals, allowing the neighborhood a universal appeal.

Well established neighborhoods offer not only great

ctivities for their neighbors and friends, but tend to offer a

etter sense of community than high rises and apartment

omplexes. When trying to determine the best place to

ve, choosing a neighborhood is almost as important as

hoosing your home. You are not only investing in your

ouseyou are investing in the neighborhood.Jefferson Park in itself has surely had its ups and downs

ver the years, but the rich history of the residents and the

brant new energies brought on by new neighbors is what

ontinues to make Jefferson Park an exciting and ever

hanging community. Being a successful, attractive and

welcoming community is far more than the trees, the

ndscaping, the parks and the homes. It is also the people.

NEIGHBOR PROFILEAndrew Nelson,Founder of TheJefferson Park Hub

Whats the goal of The Jefferson Park Hub?--Story telling. Sometime its done with text, other times audio

and photos, but at the end of the day, the goal remains good

story telling.

Whyd you start it?--The aim is to be an online news source for East Point. It star

with Jefferson Park, my home since 2006, and Ive widened th

circle to include The Point and an occasional feature on the Tr

Cities. Ive been writing for newspapers since 1993, starting in

Vermont, and this keeps my skills as a journalist sharp in the

digital age.--Ive heard it said people find news about a pothole getting

filled on their street very interesting news, but a repaired

pothole only a few streets is the least interesting news ever.

The JP Hub focuses on the nearby pothole.

Hows it going?--Well, no thanks to my poor marketing, close to 500 readers

visited in May with some 1,400 page views. Thats pretty cool

think its been well received and I look at the stat that nearly 2

of my readers are repeat customers.

In nearly a years time, what have you learned?--I am always struck how generous and interesting people areWhenever Ive reached out to folks, they have been very kind

The best part of being a writer for me has always been learnin

about captivating people and sharing their stories.

Whats next?

--Develop more reader contributions. The JP Hub is not nee

to a one-way street. If you have a killer photo, email it. Startin

book club? Drop me a dime. Your garden sprouted the world

biggest green pepper? Cool. Let the whole neighborhood kno

through The JP Hub. The free calendar can be used to prom

events in and around East Point. Theres a high school here filwith talent. Id like student voices in The JP Hubin the fall.

How can people contact you?--Every way imaginable. From Twitter (@jphub) and email

([email protected]) to a calling my phone (404) 50

2980. Dont be shy.

Of course, the website iswww.jeffersonparkhub.com

Since you are a writer, who are you reading?-- I wake up looking forward to seeing TheWall Street Journa

and The New York Times newspapers at the bottom of my

driveway every day. For fun, I am now reading John Irving.
