The Inn on Greene Street gives guests a cozy and comfortable home-away-from-home as they delve into the rich history and colorful architecture of Augusta’s historic Olde Town district. Elegant suites await to cheer road-weary travelers with bright, pleasant pastels and antique-style furnishings, as large windows let in fresh air and sunlight, and clean linens swaddle sleepers in snuggly human cocoons. The Inn’s reception room hosts a guest microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker, and several suites offer working fireplaces, perfect for cozy conversation or rousing games of incredibly hot potato. Between meals, guests can enjoy complimentary muffins and coffee in the sitting and meeting parlor or relax outside on the Inn’s breezy porch. After a long day, guests can unwind by soaking or re-enacting favorite sequences from Das Boot in their suite’s whirlpool tub before drifting off to sleep between the comfortable throw pillows of a four-poster queen- or king-size bed.
Those daring to venture outside the Inn's powder-blue walls can take a stroll through architectural history in Olde Town, which was founded in 1736 and showcases a range of building styles from the late 18th century through the early 20th century. Ride a pretend Vespa past a 19th-century Italianate house modeled on Tuscany and Umbria villas, or politely admire the shapely spindlework and lovely, lace-like spandrels of a Folk Victorian from a socially respectable distance. Sprawling across 60 acres, the Magnolia Cemetery is home to a wealth of decorative tombstones dating as far back as 1818 and shelters the state's oldest tree, while showcasing an East wall that was fortified during the Civil War to defend the city against attacking troops and undead debutantes.

The Groupon Guide to Everyman's Classics: To Kill a Mockingbird
Everyman should enjoy classic literature, which is why the Groupon Guide invented the Everyman's Classics study-guide series. This installment covers:
To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapter 10
Summary: OK, so, Scout and Jem (which are the kids' names for some reason) are all unhappy because their dad, Atticus (?), is an old nerd. He reads books instead of hunting and fishing and stuff. But he is still cool enough to give them some air rifles. When he does that he says, "OK, so, I know you two kids are going to use these to try and kill a bunch of birds. I understand that. Shoot as many blue jays as you want. Just shoot the ever-loving tar out of them. But remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
The kids are confused about this because it seems like a crazy thing to say. So they talk to Miss Maudie, a lady that they know. And she says that because mockingbirds don't do anything but sing that you shouldn't kill them or something. She also tells them to shoot at blue jays because they are ugly and terrible.
Then this rabid dog comes into the neighborhood. It is all rabid and has diseases coming out of its mouth. It wants to bite everyone. Atticus doesn't want to do it but he decides that someone has to put the dog out of misery. So he gets his rifle and shoots it from a really long way's away even though he isn’t good at football or lifting weights. The two kids are totally surprised that their dad can do this. Miss Maudie tells them that he has always been good at shooting things and that people call him "ol' one-shot Atticus." The kids are all like "WHAT!?" and then go play probably.
Analysis: Here we see the measured, confident Atticus: a man of the world with a strong moral compass in a town that celebrates dumb muscle. He teaches his children the folly in destroying beauty while setting them on a path to defeat the vile blue jay. Finally, scholars agree that if the book were a movie, Atticus would say, "It's a sin…" and then look into the camera and say, "…to kill a mockingbird."
Important Quote: "I wish dad didn't wear glasses and could kill ghosts with hockey sticks. But wait, look, he shot that dog! Neat!"
