Dub's Burgers
Limestone County, Alabama; Athens, Alabama; Dub's Burgers; Food
Dub's Burgers was opened in 1961 by Dub Greenhaw and has been in the family for three generations. The current owner, Lanier Greenhaw, is the great-nephew of the founder.
Located at 204 South Jefferson Street, the restaurant is low-keyed and unpretentious. It is not uncommon to be waited on by an employee who has worked at Dub's for over twenty years.
Like Kreme Delite, which is around the corner and was once owned by the Lanier family, Dub's Burgers is an Athens landmark.

Harris-Pryor House
The Harris-Pryor House was built around 1858 by Schulyer Harris on land that had been owned by Henry Augustine Washington (who had been related to the President).
Harris gave the house to his daughter, Ida Marie, and her husband, William Richard Pryor (who was the son of Senator Luke Pryor and Isabella Virginia {Harris} Pryor).
Through the purchase of land, marriages, and inheritances, the plantation that was known as "Flower Hill Farm" grew to over 3,000 acres. After the abolition of slavery, over sixty tenant farmers lived on the land.
The historic farm and land, which is not open to the public, is owned and held in private trust.

Flanagan Lumber Company
Industry; Lumber; Pleasant Hill, AL; Limestone County, AL
Samuel Gideon Flanagan opened a sawmill in the community of Pleasant Hill in 1904. The sawmill operated as S.G. Flanagan Lumber until 1940, when it became more of a retail lumberyard. In 1960, the company was eventually incorporated as Flanagan Lumber Company, Inc. The company was operated by S. G. and his two sons, Delwood and Ozro. Delwood and Ozro continued operating the company after their father's death in 1966. Delwood's son, Gideon, joined his uncle Ozro in managing the company. The lumber company still owns the original lumberyard in Pleasant Valley and also operates another lumberyard located in Athens on Shaw Street.
