Help us protect Boardtown Road, one of Ellijay's most historic and beautiful assets, by persuading GTC to find another route for the 110-foot utility poles that will follow a 10-mile path north of Ellijay. More than 600 neighbors and friends have signed on so far and we would like you to join us in the fight.

I'm Kevin Kell. Let's all post our favorite Boardtown photos. Here's one of mine - me and my wife, Jane, on our property at the bend in the river. We call this "Boardtown Bluff". After we bought it in the late 1990s, my dad asked me if I knew that it was haunted! If the GTC project goes through, this beautiful area will be clear cut.
