Moultrie Blog - A Blog About Moultrie Georgia

Here is a great post from Cat O’ Nine Tales.  I don’t know who she is either, but evidently she grew up around Moultrie:

I was born and raised in the American South, where my family’s history has been recorded since 1730 (and farther back according to family lore), who has been in a bi-racial marriage to a first-generation American for over 20 years

The post itself is fantastic and gives one a vivid peek into a time gone by:

This was the 1930’s.  South Georgia.  Small town.  If Moultrie wasn’t the buckle on the Bible Belt, it was at the very least the hole in which the buckle fastened.  Like almost everyone else, Mama Lucy’s family were strict Southern Baptists–no drinking, no card playing, and most certainly no tobacco!

Josh put this list of local bands together for me, if you are interested in hearing and learning about some local music and musicians, check these guys out:

• Day Of Reckoning
• Neural Implosion
• This Hideous Strength

Here is a set of photos that I took on the Moultrie square one night just before dusk, I think they give a good idea about the look and feel of downtown Moultrie. Click on a thumbnail to view the larger image.

The Valdosta Times is reporting that The Moultrie-Colquitt County Development Authority is trying to revive a $240 million project that would create a 4 lane road from Albany to Valdosta.

On Wednesday, Department of Transportation board member Johnny Floyd told authority members that projects could be on hold for some time. It could take the department eight to 10 months to work through a process of identifying revenue streams and prioritizing projects.
