Belair Donuts will be getting a new look soon! The Jimmie Dyess location in Grovetown, Georgia is set to get a custom mural design painted on the side of the building.

This is a Beautify Augusta Mural project and local Artist, Cole Frank, will be the muralist taking lead over the project.

Beautify Augusta is a local non-profit that is all about beautifying Augusta through public displays of artwork from local artists.

Beautify Augusta created a downtown coloring book in 2021. The book features 27 businesses, nine artists, and several murals in downtown Augusta. It also has information about businesses, business owners, and artists.

Have you ever visited Downtown Augusta and came across this James Brown mural?

If so, that mural was painted by Cole Phail. So, it will be great to see what this new mural will become at Belair Donuts.

A projected finish date has not yet been released.

Update: The planning has started and Beautify Augusta has said to "stay tuned for the last September BIG reveal!!" via Facebook.

The Friday Five- Top CSRA Donut Places

What are the Top CSRA Donut Places? We let y'all rank them with the first ever "Friday Five" this morning. Every Friday we'll do a different Top Five list that y'all will put together with your calls and Facebook comments. With today being National Donut Day, we figured we'd list donuts today.

Cody and I started the list with our votes. Our votes for the best donut place in the CSRA was Krispy Kreme. We both voted for the same place. We're not saying that there aren't other great donuts out there, but Krispy Kreme is our favorite. Would y'all agree with us, would Krispy Kreme win, or would another donut shop claim the number one spot?

We took your calls and counted all of your Facebook comment votes, and thats how this list came about. There were a few places that got votes, but didn't make the Top Five. Some of those were Dunkin', Haute Donuts, and Little Bake Shop. Then we got into the ones with the most votes. Thats where this list came from.

Here is another list of the best donuts in the CSRA, lets see how ours compares.

So what are the Top CSRA Donut Places? This is the list that all of you helped us put together. Heres the "Friday Five" for this week.

Sheila's Baking Co.

It was close, but Sheilas at 434 Georgia Ave. in North Augusta won the Top CSRA Donut Place! Check out their full menu here.

Krispy Kreme

I told you it was close, and it was! Krispy Kreme only lost by two votes! Of course Krispy Kreme has several CSRA locations including Washington Rd, Peach Orchard Rd and Whiskey Rd in Aiken. If the "Hot Now" light is on, make sure you stop in!

Belair Donuts

Our next door neighbor here at the station came in at Number 3 on the list. Belair Donuts are always great, and they open at 5:30, so we can grab some before we start the show! They have two locations. One in Augusta and one in Grovetown. Here's their website.

Pineland Bakery

I'll be honest, before this morning I'd never heard of Pineland Bakery, but now I want to try them out next time I'm in Waynesboro. They're located at 721 W 6th Street. Here's a link to their Facebook page.

Heroes Donuts

I've heard of Heroes Donuts, but I've never tried them. The fact that they made the Top 5, I think I need to change that. They're located in the La Pavilion shopping center at 3328 Washington Rd. You can check out their Facebook page here.
