James has been a resident of East Point’s Center Park neighborhood since 2017. Born in Massachusetts and raised in Nashville, James has been a resident of the Atlanta area since he arrived in 2002 to study at Georgia Tech, where he earned a degree in Computer Engineering. He served as the Center Park Neighborhood Alliance’s Secretary from 2021 to 2023.

James’s career today is in the field of IT Consulting, but history, specifically trying to better understand places through their unique and complete histories, has long been his interest and passion. James has been able to indulge this passion through secondary employment with two active tourism companies: Bicycle Tours of Atlanta and Wilderness Voyageurs. Guiding for these companies requires him to research the histories of places and share interesting and engaging stories. James founded the local bicycle club "Tri-Cities Neighborhoods Bike Rides," which brings neighbors through our local communities and aims to build appreciation of their uniqueness and the stories they hold.

The area of history that most interests James is that of the built environment: transportation infrastructure (East Point’s namesake is, after all, tied to the railroads), historical architecture, and the growth and evolution of cities.

Hannah has called the Tri-Cities home since moving to College Park in 2020 (by way of a few other Atlanta neighborhoods, MN, and NC).

By day Hannah is an internal communicator for a global consulting firm - work informed by her Visual Anthropology training at the University of Manchester (UK). As a Visual Anthropologist, Hannah deploys documentary-style multimedia creation as both a research method and outcome.

Her MA dissertation focused on Civil War reenactments as sites of contested historical memory - an extension of the war’s constructed visual record, which documentarians manipulated even as the war was still ongoing. The concept of the archive as a living, politically-shaped space continues to inform her interest in history.

Hannah is particularly interested in making East Point’s own historical archive more accessible to our local community. Passionate about disability justice, she is also committed to learning more about how the Tri-Cities has experienced pandemics-past and about the lived experience of disabled residents past and present.
