Athens, GA is a tiny college town in north eastern Georgia. Until the early 1980's the only thing it was known for was being the home of the University of Georgia and the Georgia Bulldog football team. That is until the B=52's played at a party on Milledge STreet across from the Taco Stand! Then all hell broke loose. Soon other bands like r.e.m., Pylon and love tractor (among others) decided to emerge and some of them even got famous. the rest got semi famous! R.e.m. is probably the most famous. r.e.m. are Rich too. Soon other musicians moved to Athens, clearly hoping there was something in the water to make them rich and famous rock stars too. People started to move to Athens in hopes of glimpsing, or better yet, becoming good friends with members of r.e.m. or at least sleeping with one of them which is, or was, apparently not too difficult to do. Athens is still known for a bustling music and art scene and all types of artistic expression are encouraged and supported. ARt openings are as widely attended as Frat parties, but by a completely different crowd thank goodness.. Frat and sorority members sometimes go to the bars and nightclubs where the artsy crowd goes.. but that is only to catch a glimpse of michael stipe hanging out at the bar - about which they are known to quickly text their friends...the Artsy crowd doesn't return the favor and never go to the frat bars... Athens is also home to Wuxtry records, one of the best examples of a dying breed of record store where you can still buy vinyl recordings and where the staff are all encyclopedia's of musical knowledge. The town is home to strange landmarks like The Tree That Owns Itself and The prince ave. Baptist church and a road called Nowhere Road...Athens is still a wonderful place to live and raise kids. Where, if you can find a job you can afford to live pretty well, among an intelligent liberal progressive and thinking community.

Alive in Athens is arguably the greatest live album ever recorded. This fantastic album proves that Matt Barlow truly has one of the best voices in metal ever. If you don't own this album, get out to the store and buy it.

A predominantly black, heavily Hispanic, relatively prosperous unincorporated community in the South Los Angeles region of Los Angeles County, California. Athens is south of unincorporated Westmont, east of Hawthorne, north of Gardena, and west of the Broadway-Manchester neighborhood of the city of Los Angeles. It is bounded on the north by Imperial Highway, on the east by Vermont Avenue, on the south by El Segundo Boulevard and the Gardena city line and on the west by South Van Ness Avenue, South Wilton Place and the Hawthorne city boundary. It is bisected by the Interstate 105 Century Freeway. Notable for Athens Park Bloods a predominately African-American street gang in an unincorporated area of South East Los Angeles County. The group started during circa 1970 as the Athens Park Boys (APB) before the Crip & Blood identities took form in the early 1970s. Some suggest that the APB were formed in 1969 prior to Raymond Washington forming the first Crip gang on the eastside of Los Angeles.
During the late 1960s, prior to the Athens Park Boys, the Black Cobras were the dominant group in the neighborhood which included guys like Tabu, Cowboy, Tony White and Michael Bell.
The Athen are one of the few gangs that have a westside and eastside within their singular turf West of Main Street to Figueroa represents the westside of Athens Park and east of Main Street to Avalon is the eastside.

n aging hipster in Athens, Georgia. Stylistically ahead of the curve, these are creative people who were hot 15 years ago, but are unfortunately stuck. Alchoholism and drug addiction is thought to be the primary stumbling block to the success of this otherwise friendly species. There is also the problem of big fish/small pond syndrome. The male townies are responsible for having brought trucker hats and mechanics shirts to the fashion forefront as early as 1990. Most townies are in a band, in a pretend band, or dating someone in a band or pretend band. They wear thrift store clothes and ride bicycles or crappy cars. All in all, they consume very little new goods, making them harmless to the environment. Typical townie occupations consist of working at restaurants, coffee houses, record stores, copy shops, video stores, or the local alternative publication. Ironically, many now wear their blue collar shirts literally, as they approach 40 or 50 and have construction or maintenance careers.
*That bar is so cute on weekends, but steer clear weekdays— it's totally packed with lecherous old athens townies.
*I know what you mean. It's so depressing how much they drink on Mondays!

Athen Closs is the husband and lover to Kevin Closs. He is a gay Canada boy who is in a transition to become a girl and weighs 0.1 pounds but consumes up to 100 million pounds of cock each year.
“Athen Closs is the perfect example of a loser with no friends and a gay trans boy, not to mention he’s retarded.

A town north of Springfield full of hicks, f-boys, racism, homophobia, and republicans. There is nothing to do but hunt, try to get with springfield girls, and go to the gas station. Lots of off brand cowboys.
