An artsy train track (no longer in use)

Fort McClellan has some interesting buildings. The fort, as it were, is no longer a fort. It’s an area of Anniston, Ala., that is being redeveloped – officer housing, for example, is now a residential development.

ATHENS, Ga. – There’s a lot of history in Northeast Georgia within a short drive of Athens. About 25 miles from downtown is the Crawford W. Long Museum in the Jackson County city of Jefferson. On March 30, 1842, Long stepped into the history books when he used Ether as a surgical anesthesia. His legacy lives on at the museum that bears his name, which can be visited Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Sure, head out to Clayton Street on the typical Saturday night after a University of Georgia football game and say, “There’s nothing to do in this town.”Yeah, right.
