[edit] Merge

I'm not sure, but should the demographic data from Athens-Clarke County (balance), Georgia be merged into this article. I know that Athens and Clarke Co have merged government, so I suppose the above article is the gazeteer-dumped article, but I'm not certain. Anyone know the answer? Sayeth 21:04, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

I went ahead and merged the two articles, but now I am concerned that the lengthy history section is at least partially copyvio from this website:[1]. Sayeth 16:06, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Hi there. With apologies to Modern Skirts (who are all nice guys), and Ruben Kincaid (who I'm sure are great), I do not think either band belongs on a short list of notable Athens bands. Maybe in a few years...but I'm pretty sure they'll be in line behind Pylon, Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, etc, etc. Maybe a better place would be Music_of_Athens,_Georgia? Or perhaps we could start a category of Athens bands? I'm open to discussion... IanRickert 17:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Some ~1.5 years later, I think Modern Skirts has grown enough in popularity to be re-mentioned in the notable Athens bands. Just a personal opinion based on my experience of a rise in their popularity outside of Athens. Open to discussion. Caseodilla 07:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

Hi all. I corrected the spelling of musician Vic Chesnutt from Vic "Chestnut." It should now link correctly to the entry.

[edit] Pictures?

How about some nice pictures of downtown Athens during the afternoon along Broad Street or something to that effect.
