Food scene
1 mile away. This is my go to local dining place and sports bar. If you are traveling with younger children, I would sit in the main dining area. But if you are looking for a little more rowdy of a crowd, pull up a chair at the bar, or for a bigger group get a table in the bar area. Tuesday is Trivia night for the over 21 crowd, Thursday is wing night.

1 mile away. This is a great place for a date night. A calm place to grab a wine and relax. Wednesday is half off all their amazing gourmet pizzas. Just a note, there are no TVs if you are looking to catch the score of the game.

5 miles away. This is my favorite place to eat down town. Great price point, huge beer tap selection, and family friendly. Table and bar seating is available. Try the Belgian fries as either an appetizer or side. You can choose the blue cheese dip, raspberry ketchup, or garlic aioli as a dipping sauce, I usually get all three.

70 miles away. This Georgia State Park has amazing views. This is my getaway place to clear my mind. A little bit of a travel, but well worth it. This place does get crowded, it opens at 8am and I would try to get there before 10 am to avoid the crowds. The stairs going down to the suspension bridge that goes across the gorge is a very good workout, especially on the way back up. Parking is $5 cash per vehicle.
