So I’m helping a friend advertise some land he has for sale… geocities.com/shiv47 http://geocities.com/shiv47/

The property is in a rural part of the west side of the state near Cedartown Georgia, near Birmingham Alabama. The property has a stream on it and I always wanted to try prospecting for gold there, but alas, I moved to Hawaii before I could. I wanted to add some information about the area and did a serach.

One interesting fact that popped up was that Sterling Holloway was bown in Cedartown. Now you have to be pretty old to know that name. Born in Cedartown in 1905, he went on to star in over 140 movies and 30 tv appearances. Most may remember his voice as that of Winnie the Pooh. He also performed in commercials, the original voice of the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee. Once you hear his quirky voice, you will not soon forget it.

According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB.Com) his personal quote was “If you do not know where you are going, any road will take you there.” How true! Sterling died in 1992 but will live forever in movies and out hearts.

I don’t think Cedartown has changed all that much over the years, and certainly if you are in the market for land, this property my friend has, is a nice addition!
