“Georgia On Your Mind”
Georgia evokes images of stately “Gone With the Wind” plantations, live oaks draped in Spanish moss and fried green tomatoes, butter beans and sweet tea served up with a Southern drawl. Today’s Georgia is in many ways the epitome of the “New South” – a South that is cosmopolitan, forward-thinking and innovative, while retaining its laid-back Southern charm and warm Southern hospitality. Reminders of the past abound and are carefully preserved for posterity. The Ocmulgee earthen mounds built a millenium ago by a native culture at Macon and three Confederate leaders on horseback carved into one of the earth’s largest granite masses at Stone Mountain, both speak to the diversity of traditions and sometime inglorious history that make Georgia unique.
Where else can you celebrate Dublin’s “St. Patrick’s Festival” in March, Baxley’s “Tree Fest” in April, Bainbridge’s “Swine Time Festival” in May, and Jesup’s “Arch Fest” in October? Where else can you find the world’s largest college campus and the only natural forest within a U.S. city limits, except in Rome? Where else can you live in the “Marriage Capital of the World” or the“Hollywood of the South” or the “Reading Capital of the World” except in Folkston, Covington, and Tifton respectively? Where else covered 66% by forest, do you find cities like Nashville “City of Dogwoods”, Conyers “City of Crepe Myrtles” and Quitman “Camellia City”? Where else can you visit the world’s largest indoor aquarium, America’s largest number of gorillas and orangutans, President Carter’s Library and Martin Luther King and Margaret Mitchell’s homes? Where else can you walk 40 feet high among the trees in botanical gardens, tour the CNN studios and try to crack the secret formula at the World of Coca Cola? Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta!!!
