There also happen to be lots of owls living in the wooded areas around our intown neighborhoods, not to mention our more rural reaches. The new Guide also spotlights several people who help make Athens what it.is, lending a personal touch to all the informa tion: ACC Commissionei Kelly Girtz, artist-designer Didi Dunphy, music venue owner (yeah, that one) Wilmot Greene, chef- restaurateur Hugh Acheson, restaurant owner Angelish Wilson and bar manager Terri Silva.
