So that's why they named it the Classic Center!
I about his bicycle trip around the world (back
! in the early 30's) are on sale at the same spot.
| The only odd fit to the block is the “cartoon/
I caricature booth” — the mime equivalent of
| the art world seems out of place with the qual-
I itv of the works in the surrounding spaces.
There is more art at the Classic Center.
Selections from Joni Mabe’s Traveling Pan
oramic Encyclopedia of Everything Elvis arc
up. So ate works by Alan Campbell and the
Five Ring Circus Art Exhibit. And, of course,
Stan Mullins paintings are everywhere — in
and out of the center. More art is out at the
Music Garden to take in ar you listen to the
free shows. Go and take a look. Hit the galler
ies. Hit the shops. Don’t be afraid. Come out
and play. (DFG)

Athens to visitors and townspeople alike, was
of course published to coincide with die Olym
pics. Reaction to the publication has been
enthusiastic, so we immodestly take this op
portunity to remind our readers to look for the
Handbook all over town. Keep your eyes peeled.
Wherever you usually pick up your Flagpole,
there you should also be able to find a Hand
book. If you miss it, call Flagpole at 549-9523,
and we’ll tell you where you can find one, or
come by the Flagpole office at 112 S. Foundry
St., and we’ll give you a free Handbook or five
or 10, if you have a big family.
Classic Art,
Athens Art,
Outsider Art,
Elvis and More...
Art is everywhere in the Classic City. Turn
to Page 14 and take a look at the lisrings in
the Art Patrol. At UGA, the Lyndon H use,
in local galleries, shops, clubs and restaurants,
a wide range of art adorns Athens. And this
is the perfect week to plan an art safari and
take it in.
The rumors of Olympic crowds have been
greatly exaggerated. The reality is that it is
easy to get around — even by car. Sure, on
the peak soccer days (7/28, 7/30, 7/31, 8/1,
8/2 and 8/3), there might be some traffic
(around game time), but that shouldn’t scare
you from coming out even on those days. On
the days when there isn’t soccer, there is ab
solutely no excuse not to leave the house and
enjoy all the Olympic/PanAthenic Festival re
lated events. Don’t worry — it will be fine.
Over the weekend the Olympics began. So
did the PanAthenic Festival. Everything didn’t
go smoothly during the festival set-up — there
were a few kinks, but by Monday when the
dust settled it revealed some visual treats for
the eye. Some were planned and some “just
happened.” You owe it to yourself to
take it all in. It is an experience.
For high weirdness of the “acciden
tal kind,” go and take a look at the gi
ant Coke™ bottles in front of the
Classic Center. They are the best ex
ample of how surreal all the swirling
sponsor signage can be. All the pro
motional junk together becomes some
sort of post-modem-dada-wetrdness.
In a twisted way — it’s way cool.
College Square has been trans
formed into a collection of tent-cov-
ered art galleries. Several feature works
by local artists who have banded to
gether, or struck out on their own, to
pay for festival exhibit space. Their ef
fort deserves your support. Then
there’s Yard Dog — displaying works
by outsider/visionary/folk artists from
across the South. Then there’s photog
rapher Karekin Goekjian selling his prints of
night images of Southern ruins and copies of
his book (filled with those haunting images).

It’s Official:
fKkateboarding
And Skating
Are Illegal
Lt. Mac McCrary, who heads the down
town Athens-Clarke County police force and
thereby may have the most interesting police
assignment in Georgia, called to remind that
skateboarding and skating in the downtown
area are illegal acts.
“They have been all
along," McCrary said,
“but all the newspaper
publicity has given
people the idea it’s
okay.”
The arrest of a
voman for skating
downtown was recently
thrown out of Municipal
Court because the city-
county had not posted
signs advising that
skateboarding and skat
ing are illegal.
The signs are up, and
police are enforcing the
law. The downtown dis
trict covered by rhe or
dinance includes the
area between Pulaski Street on the west;
Dougherty Street on the north; Thomas Street
on the east and Broad Street on the south.
If caught, speak Lithuanian. (PMc)
