Re Citizens of Note: Country Music Star Alan Jackson is a Newnan native. Also Doug Stone (less well known than Alan Jackson) another country singer has a Newnan, Coweta County connection.
Charles Wadsworth,a well-known classical musician, hails from Newnan as well. Wadsworth Auditorium in downtown Newnan is named for Mr. Wadsworth. Charles Wadsworth founded and was Artistic Director of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, which he led for 20 seasons. He was accompanist to Beverly Sills during her long opera career. Since the early 90s, Charles Wadsworth has returned to Newnan and played a benefit concert in the restored Wadsworth Auditorium. Mr. Wadsworth brings with him up and coming stars in the clssical music world.
Opera singer Courtney "Becky" Budd is also a Newnan native.
I personally see no problem with including Lewis Grizzard and for that matter Erskine Caldwell in the Newnan, Georgia article. Moreland is in Coweta County and a short distance from Newnan. Grizzard once worked at the then Newnan Times Herald and graduated from Newnan HS.
For those that do not know, Grizzard was originally a sports writer and later a nationally syndicated columnist and humorist that was much beloved in these parts. 72.15.74.182 John Thrasher, Newnan 72.15.74.182 00:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Can we agree that when someone is added to this section, there should be some kind of associated link? Obviously not everyone who's considered noteworthy from Newnan is going to have a Wikipedia article but how about something under external links about, say, the "inventor of the doggy bathroom"?

-Tis is very insignificant to the history of this town, if not too humanity itself
The original location on Jackson Street has been there since 1927 and widely known way, way beyond Newnan for good food. ! (We ate there 20 years on going to Atlanta and always stopping by.)
