If you have an interesting tale about the Green Front Café, folks in Stockbridge want to hear from you.

  The city’s Main Street Program is seeking stories from the history of the historic neighborhood establishment in the Tye Street community. They could be about the late Carrie Mae Hambrick, the cafe’s former owner and operator, or some other memory.

  This initiative is part of the “Stockbridge Stories” project, a compilation of oral histories for the city “that are rooted in local culture, encourage reflection, motivate participation and inspire further exploration,” according to a city official.

  Anyone interested in sharing information for this project is encouraged to reach out at mainstreet@cityofstockbridge-ga.gov or 678-833-3325.   “Ms. Carrie Mae Hambrick was a beacon in this community,” said City Council member Alphonso Thomas, the council’s liaison for the Stockbridge Main Street Advisory Board. “She brandished love for everyone. Her Green Front Café was the central meet up spot in Stockbridge for years. She offered wholesome food and great conversation. Every person felt welcomed in her popular café. Her constant generosity defined her as  a true servant to the community at large. I believe that this compilation of stories by the Stockbridge Main Street Program will highlight the community unity she demonstrated for the world to see. Join me and others in sharing fond memories of Mrs. Hambrick and the historic Green Front Café.”
