I may just be a kid and was not even alive at the time, but I have heard
things and I wonder. What about LuLu's just over the county border in
Watkinsville? My teacher said it existed until the 1970's and was located
just beyond the bridge on Epps Bridge Road. I am sure it was probably a hot
spot but know man would admit it. If it still existed today I am sure I
would hide out there at night just hoping to snap a picture of Clyde Ray,
the most evil person to have his own column in the Athens Banner Herald.
Athens is indeed a spirited town.
