    "There are lots of stray dogs. It’s upsetting but people dump dogs they don’t want in neighborhoods. We got our 4th dog that was. She’s incredibly sweet and we don’t understand why someone would abandon her. "

    "I own property in Athens near Howdy Acres (a current listing) and find the area peaceful, safe, easily accessible and the neighbors trustworthy and helpful. I am close enough to the Dallas area to access the museums, entertainment and opportunities; but far enough out in the country that I can see a star filled sky at night. With the Metroplex adding approx. a million people every ten years it will not be long before the amenities of Dallas will move closer to Athens and with that will come business growth in the Athens area. I see great potential for Athens and look forward to retiring here."
