Time to Tango Continued from page 11 The 2021 season culminates in the Union City Fondo on October 2, featuring a variety of road and gravel rides for everyone who likes to ride bikes—from new riders out for a cruise to seasoned pros looking for punishment. Distances range from a leisurely 30-mile road ramble to a demanding 100-mile mixed surface event called the Toughskin Open that drags riders up and down hills, across gravel, dirt, water crossings, and extreme obstacles. With several additional route options, this annual event is a chance to get out with friends and family and to mingle with cycling enthusiasts from all over, including local MACC riders. The Spin the District series is a labor of love by the ATL Airport District, the Southside’s Tourism and Convention Bureau, to help promote cycling in the area and continue the conversation of diversity and inclusivity.

Celebrating 100 Years of Service
By Bill Baldowski
Bill Gates once said,“Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning” he said. As true as his statement is, employees of Chapman Drugs at 615 North Central Ave. would have a diffi cult time to fi nd an unhappy customer as evidenced by its 100 years of service to Hapeville’s residents and visitors alike. Not only does Chapman Drug Company offer excellent pharmaceutical services, they also offer home deliveries, medication management, vitamins and more. Another element that sets Chapman Drug Company apart is something few other drug stores have on site: a soda fountain which not only offers sodas but other treats to customers. Derek Chapman, a third generation Chapman pharmacist and now the fourth Chapman to actually own the store, said the continued popularity of the store is simple. “We have always looked at our customers as part of our family…treating them honestly, fairly and with great respect.” Chapman Drug Company began a century ago in 1921 when its founder, 19-year-old Raburn Rufus Chapman, Sr., said farewell to a life of farming and convinced his father, J.W. Chapman, and his uncle, A.H. “Guss” Chapman, to purchase an existing pharmacy-at that time called “Citizen’s Pharmacy”. As quickly as the pharmacy had been sold, the young Chapman renamed it “Chapman Drug Company,” with its fi rst employee hired for the new establishment: Dr. Arnall, who became the druggist with the young Raburn as his apprentice, a position Raburn held for fi ve years before passing the state’s apothecary exam to become a pharmacist. Chapman’s was incorporated in 1932 and became Chapman Drug Company. In 2001, Derek Chapman and his wife, Marcia, also a pharmacist, began to take over the day to day operations of the pharmacy and to purchase the business from Derek’s father, Donald L., son of Rabun, Sr. The Chapman Family has been blessed to have fi ve pharmacists in the family, 4 generations of owners, 3 generations of pharmacist owners, and 100 years of service to the profession and community. As Derek says we look forward to the next 100 years.
