Ypsi: Second Home

A New York Times feature on Callaway Gardens, a 13,000-acre resort with planned communities in Pine Mountain, Georgia, quotes Ypsilanti resident Bob Bonner, who owns a vacation home there. The article reports that their home was built to be environmentally sensitive, including landscaping with a mat of pine needles. Says Bonner: “With the pine straw, there’s no turf to manage. It makes it very nice for a part-time resident.” [Source]
