GreenFest Awards Today!
Join us for a reception and awards ceremony honoring the individuals, organizations and businesses that have made a positive impact on the environment of Athens-Clarke County over the past year. This FREE event starts at 6:30pm at the Terrapin Brewery, 265 Newton Bridge Road.
Full Circle Broker Patrick O'Brien, also President of the Athens Grow Green Coalition, is presenting the Best Development award to Transmetropolitan for their rehab project on Oglethorpe Ave. In the Fall of 2008, the owners of Transmetropolitan opened their second location at 1550 Oglethorpe Ave in the former Helan Auto Parts Store. Brothers Jay and Wesley Russo and their partner, Brian Collantuno, have provided new vitality to a previously dormant structure with this comprehensive adaptive re-use project, providing the west side of Athens with this stylish and locally-owned dining destination. The interior renovations have retained the mid-century modern character of the original structure and the flat roof construction of the building provided the opportunity for roof-top patio dining.
