The purpose of Dublin Historic Neighborhood Association (DHNA) is to enhance and sustain the historic and residential integrity of the Stubbs ParkâStonewall Street Historic District in Dublin, Georgia. The district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district has been a long standing residential neighborhood since the 1910s. The historic neighborhood is bounded by West Moore Street, Lancaster Street, Marion Street, Academy Avenue and Roosevelt Street in Dublin, Georgia. Membership is drawn from the historic district but all Dublin residents who are interested in maintaining historic residential neighborhoods may participate in the association. Founded in 1995, the association holds regular meetings at the Oconee Public Library, which is located in the neighborhood, and at members homes. The DHNA is a community forum and voice for neighbors to discuss issues such as historic preservation, maintenance, zoning, lighting, crime, overgrown yards, drainage, abandoned vehicles, and other matters related to the historic neighorhood.
Famous quotes containing the words historic, neighborhood and/or association:
“We are becoming like cats, slyly parasitic, enjoying an indifferent domesticity. Nice and snug in “the social” our historic passions have withdrawn into the glow of an artificial cosiness, and our half-closed eyes now seek little other than the peaceful parade of television pictures.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say ‘you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.’”
—David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Al Capone (Robert DeNiro)
“In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no political party. We never have inquired what anybody’s religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, “Do you believe in perfect equality for women?” This is the one article in our creed.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
