I am a native of Augusta and I'm so glad that you had a great time in our city. I moved away and lived in another state for over 10 years and when I returned, I did what you did and found out the great eating and recreational spots that came about while I was away. It's always good to see what visitors think about LA - Lovely Augusta! One of my favorites is the Petersburg boat ride along the Augusta Canal. Great way to spend a morning.

Very Cool! I live in the Augusta (actually North Augusta) and it's neat to see a visitor's take on the city. And your video is well done! I'll have to go check out some of your other videos now!

Same, that's ok the only reason I'm here. In fact they've maybe inspired me to go try one of these restaurants.

Really enjoyed this video. We moved from Massachusetts to the Augusta area a year ago. This video is very helpful since we are always looking for new places to eat and try in the area. One thing we have noticed is how friendly everyone is.

Excellent video guys! We spend 50% of our time in Georgia never been to Augusta it’s now on our list. Love the way you film always feel like I’m sitting right across you and enjoying the town. I’d pass on the swamp I’d have a panic attack. Exception GATORS in the swamp…Sara saw you wore your Dawgs shirt…Big game this weekend….CHOMP CHOMP 🐊🐊😂~Cara

My sister (and her ex and daughter) lived in Augusta for 7 years. While I didn't enjoy the drive down from Chattanooga to visit them, I loved how vibrant and beautiful Augusta is!

I currently live just outside of Augusta, Grovetown to be exact, my hometown is Washington, about an hour from here. Even though I grew up in this area, I have never really explored Augusta, but I plan to change that now that I'm back here, I've lived all over, Florida, Oregon, Washington state, now back in Georgia. Thank you for this video and show me what I'm missing out on and what to go check out!

We were looking for somewhere to spend Christmas, and we just found it! The only thing I think these travel vlogs are missing is where people who travel like your community does can stay. Looking forward to eating and exploring in Augusta.

Partridge Inn is a boutique hotel. Nice restaurant. Spa. Great place. Also several B&B's in the area. No shortage of chain hotels and quaint spots.

If yall are ever back, be sure to check out Hammonds Ferry in North Augusta. It’s literally one mile from where you were on the other side of the river in South Carolina. Its an awesome neighborhood with restaurants, the river walk (greenway) and the baseball stadium SRP Park. You won’t be disappointed!

I've lived in Augusta for 50 years. It's hot...really, really hot. We have alot of mosquitos and they only give us a break for about 3 months out of the year. Clark's Hill (as local's call it) but to others they would know it as Lake Thurmond is one of assests-30 minutes from Augusta/North Augusta and the Savannah River that you're in has lots of water mocassins and even aligators (be careful). We smile and say hello to each other in this town. Welcome and we hope you enjoyed yourself-ya'll come back now. :)

Augusta has been on the top of my list for years of places to move to if I ever leave the mountains. The right weather, a good river, good economy an still near the mountains... Anyone willing to name their cafe after a bug that infest food, has to be sure its good... An FYI, gators can live in Chattanooga, they dont but they can. People have kept them as pets outside year round in the area. There is also a local pond no one swims in because of a single gator thats been there 30+ years.

A long time ago, Augusta was good town to "be from". It was, frankly, a crappy town with distinct "sides of the track" (Augusta has busy rail service). I couldn't wait to get the hell out. Then some folks decided to rescue the town. Downtown is now vibrant with thriving local food and music (check out The Brownstown Gritty!). The once very sketchy canal area has been turned into recreation and education. Even the other sides of the tracks have changed. Augusta doesn't suck anymore, and I'm happy to tell people that Augusta is my hometown (even though I don't live there anymore)

Don’t take offense, I live here. You were literally two blocks from my house. You put yourself in extreme danger walking in that swamp. I take photos there of the 11 foot alligators that are all over the place. Seriously, they have chased me and followed me while I was on the higher banks. 😮

@NBS506 3 ай бұрын

lmao... extreme danger. Tons of us hunt there. Were out there in the dark for hours waist deep in water. The actual danger is being shot in one of the worst cities in the country for Violent Crime.

@abbiesapp2922 Ай бұрын

That specific area of the swamp doesn't see alligators as often as the wet cells do. Plus, they check before this experience, and if anything is spotted, we don't get in the water. I've been going to the swamp since I was 11, and I've never felt like I was in danger, even when being directly on the other side of the fence from a 11-12 footer. As long as people are smart and don't feed or try to aggravate the gators, they want nothing to do with you.

I just traveled there on accident from ATL and stopped and walked and ate and I loved it the people in all Georgia seemed super genuinely nice the only thing at Augusta I didn't like was the poverty and drug use I saw in the streets

I live in Augusta and never have tried any of those restaurants except for the one with the cheesecake. My daughter is the bakery manager there and she is their cheesecake expert, so much so that her nickname is literally “Cheesecake”.

I bet it was! Born and raised in GA, lived in Augusta for 15 years, left midway through the pandemmy to take medical contracts as a Paramedic for agency nursing. Been in North Dakota ever since. Truly missing home. Shared your link on FB hoping all my ND friends understand why I miss home / GA so much!!! Thanks for highlighting Augusta. If you ever want to visit North Dakota, let us know!!! Just do it between April and October. Our first snow is just days out. 😢😢😢
