plantation review

Part of the pride of Thomasville is the tremendous participation in restoration of historical homes and the downtown area.  Thomasville residents take their preservation of history and restoration seriously. They put their money where some only put their mouth… they simply do it!! The downtown is undergoing restoration on a large, serious scale. A lot of energy, enthusiasm and dollars are being put into our downtown area. But the rewards are worth it, just look at my previous blog, “Saturday Downtown Thomasville Stroll”.

The homes on Love Street and Warren Ave, near the downtown area, have been dealt a new lease on life over the past eight years. These are now home to many professionals, young and old.  It is a place where neighbors stroll the streets with their children, groups of young parents get together for kickball and flag football, and children play together in the green space at the corner.

“We all love the Warren-Love Street neighborhood, because it is so easy to walk to downtown community events, restaurants, and shopping.  The city tennis courts and the cultural center are also within short walking distance”.  (Quote by, Darlone Bailey Kaley).
“The neighborhood is special, because we all saw the potential to return to a simpler time and way of living, and we were willing to work to make it happen. There are still a few houses waiting to be completed, and we would love to have a few more great neighbors”!

Thomasville Landmarks and Historical Society are places to receive support and encouragement when taking on any of these restoration projects. Pictures of some of our fine older homes are in my photo album.
