It’s beginning to look a lot like Athens…
One of the things that gets me most excited about our new building is just how much it’s going to reflect this incredible city in which we live. Take for instance this bench that will be featured outside our new home, the first of a few benches we’ll feature that are made of recycled bike parts from around the Classic City.
Mike Ely is the local artist who’s been working on these for us. Mike is the co-manager of the BikeAthens Bike Recycle Project, a non-profit organization that refurbishes approximately 100 bikes a year for recipients like the Athens Area Homeless Shelter, the Athens-Clarke County Drug Rehabilitation Program, students at Fowler Drive Elementary School, and more.
If you’ve ever seen this bike rack between the theater and the Foundry St Building at the Classic Center, Mike built it too! And he’s putting together a pretty nifty bike rack for us as well.
We’re so excited to partner with local creatives like Mike to help give our space that “Athens” feel we love so much. Athens, I love you!
