The Newcomers Guide 2016 - Previously Titled the Move2

Only in Augusta, con’td.
Paul Pearman Belt Buckles – Paul Pearman follows two simple
rules when producing his much-in-demand mosaic art. It must be functional
and it must be beautiful. By far his most popular work are belt buckles
incrusted in polished stone, colored glass and occasionally the odd fossil.
They have proven popular not only with local collectors, but the like of Keith
Richards and Sheryl Crow as well.
T’s Restaurant Hushpuppies – The hushpuppy is not, in itself,
that exotic. But if this simple corn fritter has a spiritual home, it is probably
the Southside mainstay T’s. Yes, the fried fish and shrimp is pretty incredible,
but mention this restaurant to any of its fans and the first thing mentioned
will be those pups.
Kricket Krap – Around here, gardeners-in-theknow
look one place for fertilizer – crickets. More
specifically, they look to Kricket Krap – a locally
sourced cricket compost. Founded by Bill Bricker,
Bricker Organics – or Bricko for short – produces a
variety of compost, plant food and fertilizer products.
Still, it’s a cottage industry built on the foundation of
Kricket Krap.
Tire City Potters – Local artist Shishir Chokshi has managed to make
what was once a small studio tucked into an old tire store – hence the name
– off Broad Street into a destination for collectors seeking locally produced
art. Not only will patrons find hand-thrown cups, vases and plates available
for per-piece purchase, but Chokshi will takes custom orders for dinnerwear
sets.
COMMUNITY
Disc Golf – Everyone knows Augusta is a golf mecca.
What kind of golf depends on who you ask. The
headquarters for the Professional Disc Golf Association
is located in the quiet community of Appling – just a
short drive down Washington Road from the Augusta
National. The venue features three courses, a practice
facility, museum and, if you want to dress – or throw –
like a pro, they can hook you up there as well.
