[edit] Trivia

Probably the most famous resident (for a while anyway) was Burt Reynolds. He and then wife Loni Anderson bought an antebellum styled mansion there in the early 1980's. The manor was named Tara. The house was sold around 2002, although Reynolds had not occupied the house with any regularity for about eighteen years. In 2006 the owners put Tara up for sale once again. Loganville is also home to Jordan Pruitt, an American teen singer.
