🇺🇸Did you know? There is an American flag disposal box at Fraternal Lodge No. 37 F & A M in downtown McDonough.🇺🇸

The box is provided by the Eagle Scouts of Boy Scouts of America Troop 62 in McDonough.

Whether you have a dirty, tattered, ripped or torn flag, there eventually comes a time to put the flag to rest; and the garbage is NOT an option. If your flag can no longer be properly displayed, the U.S. Flag Code states that it is to be destroyed in a dignified manner.

Typically, a good way to consider getting rid of an old American flag is through donation. You can donate the flag to a box like this one.

They will take the flag and hold ceremonies where they retire them. You will take comfort in knowing that you gave your flag to someone who will discard it in the proper way.

⭐️Fraternal Lodge 37 is located at 65 Verterans Drive at Big Spring Park in McDonough.⭐️

Folks often ask me, "Beau, do you enjoy being a Realtor?"

I absolutely do. I grew-up in this business.

I love meeting people. Many of my clients become good friends.

It's an honor to be invited into someone's home and being trusted with what is often their biggest investment.

The first-time buyers that just got married. The Army veteran using a VA loan to establish a home for his or her family. The senior citizen that is moving to assisted living. And the families that have lost a loved one and need to sell their property to settle the estate.

These are the moments that I'm a part of.

The current market has its challenges. There is a glut of inventory.

But I've managed to close 15 properties the first quarter of 2026.

And I have several under contract.

This year Buddy Kelley Properties celebrates 50 years serving Henry County and the surrounding communities. We are one of the oldest businesses still in operation in McDonough.

This is my 26th year in the business.

I do not take that for granted.

If I can help you, or your family and friends, buy or sell a home, acreage or commercial property, I'd be honored to earn your business.

The very first phone call was transmitted 149 years ago today.

Here’s a little McDonough telecommunications history for you.

The building that Queen Bee Coffee Co. - McDonough, GA owns was originally the McDonough Telephone Exchange office.

I’ve included a photo from the 1940's of a McDonough operator managing the switchboard.

The windows in the background are the front of the Queen Bee coffee shop.

In the pre-dial phone era, an operator had to manually place the call for you. The office was staffed around-the-clock in order to facilitate telephone service to residence and business subscribers at any time of the day or night, and on holidays, as well.

Telephone exchange ladies, or "Hello Girls," were switchboard operators who manually connected calls from the late 19th through mid-20th centuries.

They were hired for their polite, efficient demeanor, becoming a vital workforce that handled hundreds of calls, operated under strict, demanding conditions, and played a crucial role in early telecommunications.

Every connection point on the switchboard represented a telephone in a residence, business, or other location in the city.

By the 1960's, live operator service was all but phased out in most localities, having been replaced by automatic switching equipment and customer dialed telephones.

Ms. Betty Fields was a McDonough Hello Girl. She got her first job working in that building.

She and her husband, Buzzy, later purchased the building and made it their home.

In 2013 she called me to list it for sale.

She had rented it out to various tenants over the years, including an antique store called The Plum Tree.

After operating as a pop-up, Alicia and Micah Hodges bought it to expand their coffee business and give it a permanent home.

I took the photo of Ms. Betty standing outside the property the day it sold. She passed away in 2017 at the age of 89.
