A view of Smyrna Market Village in downtown Smyrna, Georgia, on October 11, 2021.
Overview
In response to growing suburban sprawl in the mid-1980s, Smyrna’s mayor and City Council opted to rebuild the downtown area to create a family-friendly environment and community gathering space. This led to Smyrna’s “Village Green,” which includes a library, community center, private housing, retail and office space, a public safety facility and a 22,000-square-foot City Hall.
Sightseers’ Delight started publishing in June 2016. The site, published by The DeFeo Groupe, collects and curates content about places where historical events large and small happened. The site builds off the legacy of The Travel Trolley, which launched in June 2009. The site aimed to be a virtual version of the trolley tours offered in so many cities.
