We are so low-class, when we visit Brunswick (St Simons) from Missouri, our first stops are Wllie’s Wee-Née Wagon and Grandy’s chicken! Love Willie’s ❤❤.
Yes, but how’s the stew? (I love Brunswick Stew, couldn’t resist). Really appreciate your enthusiasm, and respect for welcoming your kid into the video instead of trying to edit around. Not planning to move to the area - moving to Atlanta area instead - but will likely be driving through occasionally on the way to Jacksonville so I was curious.
I live in Atlanta now, but grew up in Brunswick. Unless you WANT to go to Brunswick, you can just keep driving on 95 right to Jacksonville, you don't have to go through it. However, you should stop there at least once, if only to see the historic south end of the city. The homes on Union Street rival anything in the South, there is old City Hall and some other interesting historic buildings downtown including the beautiful Courthouse. Glynn Academy High School (my alma mater) is a can't miss, it is one of the oldest public high schools in the country on a beautiful campus dripping with live oaks and Spanish moss. From the south end of the city, get back on Hwy 17 to cross the Sidney Lanier Bridge for a great view of the Golden Isles and then you can cut back over to 95 for the rest of your trip to Jacksonville. Nothing north of downtown is worth seeing (except possibly Hofwyl Plantation which is on Hwy 17 north of Brunswick, headed towards Darien.)
