Don't forget the panoramic view from Coleman Hill especially in the Fall. Also the old Central City Park. The Macon Coliseum area and nearby Ft Hawkins historic fort constructed around the time the White Man started settling, located at the top of Fort Hill (on Emery Highway, and Ft Hill St.) in East Macon. Also Brosnan Yard where the Cental Of Ga railway system used to set up and send out trains to all points of the compass. There are a number of vids and books published about Macon. AS YOU CAN TELL, I WAS RAISED THERE IN THE 50'S AND 60'S. Turbulent times for sure, but Macon's History shows what happens when acceptance and the changes caused by it, becomes a CELEBRATION. South of Macon around Dry Branch area, from there out toward the Monument celebrating the Geographical Center of Georgia. Also this part of the Bibb/Twiggs County area once housed the Georgia Kaolin "chalk" mining operations (near Dry Branch) and the J.M. Huber mining area near I-16 that takes you to Savannah, on the Ga coast. The Kaolin industry provided the basis for things like Milk of Magnesia, and any product using "chalk" products worlwide.😍😍😄

Ocmulgee is pronounced Oak muhl gee, which is an Indian word meaning "bubbling water" or "boiling water".

Don't! At least spend a few weekends driving through the neighborhoods, and at night in the ones you're interested in and make sure it's a suitable match.

@Dman119 Год назад

Please learn to pronounce points of interest before you go on air. You really were off on Okmulgee.

@charlesclimineda8080 Год назад

@@Dman119 do you have any neighborhood recommendations?

@Dman119 Год назад

@Charles Climineda unfortunately not in Macon. Gray is just outside and it's pretty decent. Warner Robin's is not as bad as Macon but has declined from it's previous status.
