Get the door, it's the liquor store
Georgia is redefining what the Deep South looks like, and Athens is one of those cities that’s quietly leading the... charge. Located a cool 72 miles from downtown Atlanta, Athens is a college town with a serious vibe. Let’s start with the music scene. Bands originating from Athens include The B-52s, Of Montreal, Python, R.E.M. and countless others. Partly due to the University of Georgia’s central location in the town, it’s never lacking for youthful energy or creative exuberance. The tree-lined streets offer cool shade even during the muggiest of Georgia summers. Antebellum architecture has survived the tumult of the centuries and still contributes to the beauty of Athens today. You can check out all the local history at the T.R.R. Cobb House (where a 19th-century lawyer lived) as well as the Taylor Grady House. Once you’re beefed up on history, it’s time to prepare for the experience of a lifetime: a Georgia Bulldogs home football game. Perhaps nowhere in the country is football fandom so intense and so all-consuming as at UGA.
