Great Houses & Art in Athens, Ohio

By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft

American Dream: A College Education in a Great Town

Last fall I drove exactly 500 miles westward to visit a young friend attending Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. The town sported an historic downtown, dozens (it seemed) of bars, one spectacular indie coffee shop (cannot find the pics), and some exceptional houses (see below).

On top of a hill with a view in two directions!

Somebody had fun choosing paint!

A great house.

The next three shots are of the art on the walls of Big Mamma Burritos, where my young friend worked  part-time.

This is a college town, remember. The posters are going to be interesting, even in a burrito joint.

Great stuff, no?

Here's the sign for Big Mamma's. Even that is a work of art.
