Loran Smith: Newnan – rich heritage, beautiful homes, becoming architecture, and good people
NEWNAN – Like many others in our state, especially the northern half, I first learned about this charming and becoming community when I stopped by for lunch at Sprayberry’s Barbecue while on my way to Auburn for a football game during my undergraduate days.
While I can’t remember the final score of the game, I well remember the barbecue and Brunswick stew along with the exalted reputation that the owners—Houston and Mattie Lou Sprayberry—enjoyed.
