Instead of the ball dropping this year.... A sign displaying 2010 that later turned into 2011 was dropped... Nice video of the NYE celebration downtown....

The $4 million upgrade of the streelights and traffic signals along Broad street is now under construction..

From 13th to 5th street there will be 131 new overhead lights, including 91 pedestrian lights on both sides of the road and in the center median between 10th and 13th street. 12 lights are going in the parking bays also.

Sit-N-Spell Coffee house at the corner of 10th and Broad should open up shortly..

Aficionados (Craft Beers, Fine Wines, and Cigars) on 8th street next to the Loft Ideas Building should open shortly too.

This is a great idea but businesses need more than First Friday to make it. Downtown needs to address its rampant crime problem so people actually feel safe walking down must less live on Broad Street. Unless you are in a LARGE group, stay away from downtown.

Please give it up... Their isn't rampant crime in the central business district... A study was completed on the effectiveness of the CADI system downtown.. The study showed since Cadi was created in 2006 crime in the 15-block business improvement district has decreased.. Even some of the inner city areas if you included them as downtown(Harrisburg, Laney Walker, East Augusta) they are been gentrifying as we speak...

The people in the pictures below seem to feel pretty safe on Broad street..

I'm just going to throw this in here...

Augusta's crime index is less than Atlanta ("where you live"), Columbus, Macon and Savannah's... What size group should I be in to go to these cities downtown areas?

Augusta is just like any other mid-sized/large city... it has its problem areas... hardly "rampant" crime though, especially if you compare it to other cities in the geographical region and their crime problems. Augusta will never be Mayberry... it's just not going to happen.

I wouldn't go around downtown Augusta by myself at night.

but I will say that for any city I go to.

It's just the way life has become these days, things have changed.

Augusta is still a great place to be in.

Conservancy plans Harrisburg project | The Augusta Chronicle

The Georgia Conservancy’s outdoor-minded volunteers will launch a different sort of conservation project this weekend in Augusta’s Harrisburg community.

“Our focus will be on growth planning that will also have a balance with land conservation,” said Katherine Moore, manager of the group’s Blueprints for Successful Communities program. The planning study, which will run through May, will be conducted by Moore and a team of graduate students led by Georgia Tech professor Richard Dagenhart.

Went to have lunch at Knuckle Sandwiches today...showed up around 1pm and it was closed. I just don't understand...and it wasn't the only place closed for lunch downtown. Rooster's Beak was also closed.

We ended up eating at Blue Sky (which is also closing down permanently).

Anyhow, I just don't understand these owners who refuse to open up their businesses on Saturdays...especially a new business trying to start off.

Don't even get me started on Sundays...when downtown becomes a ghost town.
