Kirby's Augusta - Unique Names Abound For Augusta Neighborhoods

Before our town had subdivisions with nice names, it had neighborhoods with nicknames. And like most nicknames, they weren't always sweet. We had a Pinch Gut. A Shake Rag. A Cow Town. You almost never hear these names used much anymore, but 100 years ago if you talked to someone in Augusta about going to Dublin or Lick Skillet, they knew what you meant.
