Book Talk: Weathering Historic Storms: Preservation in Newnan & Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn Historic District

Book Talk with Gene Kansas, Winston Skinner, and Gwendolyn Kuhlmann

Gene Kansas is a historic preservationist and developer who began working on his book after a 2008 tornado ripped through Downtown Atlanta, damaging structures in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood. The storm inspired his work in preservation and also his book Civil Sights: Sweet Auburn, a Journey through Atlanta’s National Treasure. Kansas will be joined by Winston Skinner, a recognized local historican by the Newnan-Coweta Historical Society, and Gwendolyn Kuhlmann of Seasons of Strength project.

Jaws Night for Wined Up, hosted by Main Street Newnan

Join us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws! We will be serving Narragansett and “Blood in the Water” Sangria for Wined-Up. We have special limited edition copies of the throwback edition of Peter Benchley’s Jaws (Doubleday, 1974). This is a ticketed event, although those without tickets are still welcome to come to the shop.

Note to Parents: You are welcome to bring your little ones in, but we plan to play the movie in the shop starting at 7 p.m. It’s rated PG but does feature a giant human-eating shark, so up to you whether or not you bring the kids in that night! Storytime with a Shark will be at 10:30 in the morning for the Book Co. Kids.

Tickets are available through Main Street at https://www.mainstreetnewnan.com/p/events/summer-wined-up
