I grew up in Augusta and there were train tracks running down the center of one of the streets (6th street, I think) and trains would roll down the middle of the street blowing the horn, and people in cars would have to make way for them. I always thought that was odd, even as a child.

And they're usually old sirens that are on top of or next to fire stations, city hall, police station or water towers. Some are mounted about halfway up the water towers. I love old sirens.

In my mind I can still see these main streets bustling and see and hear the people as they went about their day. Somewhat ghostly. I am so happy that you are back on the road, Adam.

Directly across the street from the Musella General Store is Dickey Farms, a really popular spot out here in Middle Georgia for strawberry picking (+ fresh strawberry ice cream and strawberry shortcake), fresh peaches (+ fresh peach ice cream and peach cobbler), and pecans. They own at least some of what appeared to be the empty storefronts across the street and use them for instruction rooms during field trips (they are so sweetly painted and decorated, like Strawberry Shortcake houses!). The General Store is always busy when the farm season is busy and there are days when fresh BBQ is made and sold at the General Store, too! Dickey Farms itself has a really sweet boutique with great rocking chairs to enjoy the breeze and eat your fresh treats and BBQ. We call it "real life Disneyland." 😊

I can remember the last of the steam locomotives that used to run through my hometown. The Missouri Pacific Railroad (MO-PAC) had a roundhouse locomotive repair shop were they could work on 8-10 engines at any given time. Trains would come through at 12pm, 7pm, and 2am everyday. It was a sad day when they switched to diesel-electric locomotives. The romance of the railroad was gone forever, along with their mournful steam whistles.

A few years ago, I was on a road trip. I was traveling back from Gatlinburg TN to my home in Florida. Like most people, I was traveling on the main highways to take the "fastest way back". The drive was stressful. Everyone was in a rush, trying to pass each other. A few hours into my drive, I noticed a warning on my navigation indicating a traffic jam ahead. So I decided to get off the highway to go around it. The moment my wheels cane down the ramp, I was instantly put into a more relaxing mood. Suddenly, it was quiet. I was all alone on a beautiful country road in GA. I was instantly happier. Much more, the back roads weren't exactly "slower". In fact, I was able to go as fast as I wanted for most of the way since it was mostly rural wooded areas. Every now and again however, I would pass through a beautiful town (like the ones you are showing me here). I would stop and get out, walk around, and take pictures. After a few miles, I realized that I would never travel on a highway again for the rest of my trip. I traveled for the next 2 days on back roads through these beautiful towns. To this day, I try to find the back roads when I take road trips. I realize that highways are efficient ways to travel from A to B when you are in a hurry - going to work, etc. But for road trips, highways are the absolute WORST way to travel. I have seen so many gorgeous towns during my travels across this great country over the past few years! I only wish I had the motivation that you do in taking videos and posting them here online. Thanks for sharing

These were the kinds of towns that made America great, now all but abandoned and left to rot as people flocked to the cities for bigger and better things (or so they thought).

Adam, when I was 12 (in 1978), we (neighborhood kids) collected aluminum cans--enough to pay for our trip to Knott's Berry Farm to ride Montezuma's Revenge on its opening day! I lived in Lakewood, California at the time. I don't recall how much money we got per pound, but I remember that it took multiple cans to equal a penny. Prices were much cheaper back then though. Montezuma's Revenge was an $0.85 when it opened. We rode it several times that day.

Early in my medical career, I did moonlighting in Barnesville. Young Jewish physician fresh out of New York showing up in hick town, Klan country, knuckle dragging, slave infested deep South. Well, they had the same attitude towards me as I had towards them. And we both warmed up very, very quickly. Absolutely charming folks, beautiful Southern accent, everyone sounded like Rosalynn Carter. (Plains is fairly close, I've never been there. Don't think much about the Carters). Basically it is a sleepy college town. I stayed at the local B&B, loved the food and the setting, going back to Atlanta was always sad. The medical clinic was shut down about 3 months into my stay, and we said our good-byes. I haven't been back, but it certainly put me on the right path to my new home. I don't remember any of the scenery you showed, but I fondly remember the place. As I like to say, "Yankee by the grace of God. Southern by choice."

I too love the old architecture of the late 19th century and early 20th century. I was raised in the 50’s when downtowns were the shopping centers of every town. There were very few strip centers in most towns. My parents built the first strip center in my hometown in 1958. It had 10 businesses including my parents supermarket. A couple of downtown businesses relocated to our center due to the buildings they were in were being torn down to make way for the largest bank in our town. But, our shopping center never had an impact on the the downtown businesses like they saw when Walmart and the malls came into being. I definitely long for the time before Walmart and malls. Back when things were still Made In America, and made with pride. I hear people talk able slavery this and slavery that, but they still go to Walmart and by cheap Chinese goods never once thinking about the forced (slave) labor that made it.

I noticed a couple of towns, including Montezuma, had small obelisks erected in the town square. In ancient times, they served as a type of sundial, but in more modern times, they memorialized soldiers or marked boundary lines, and were typically a 'gift' from Freemasonic organizations. Some historians also suggest these monolithic monuments are aligned with ley lines!(which, I'm sure you know all that. Lol). In Texas, a line of nearly 250 obelisks, placed 2.5-3 miles apart, once marked the U.S./Mexico border & served as a boundary line for cattle herders! Anyway, I'm glad I found your channel!

Thanks, Adam... Covid has prevented me from travelling for a few years now. You fill a need of mine that TV does not. I used to do exactly what you do now. I enjoy your friendly commentary.

One lesser known fact about that section of west-central Georgia is the series of low mountain ridges, typically just called Pine Mountain, that stretch from Hamilton and Callaway Gardens all the way to between Thomaston and Barnesville. The Flint River cuts through part of that region of hills and ridges at a beautiful place called Sprewell Bluff. The highest points are maybe 400-500 feet above the surrounding land, but it is about as close to mountain scenery as you will get that far south in the southern U.S.

Wish so much I could be doing this. Interesting how many towns find a way to keep their train depots.

That Tire Mart and FDR mural are INCREDIBLE!!! (I love the sound of tires going through rain and the smells and walking through puddles too!)

I really enjoy exploring old communities. Makes me wonder what they were like when they were alive and vibrant.

We are honored you have paid us a visit here in Middle Georgia however it would have been so much more accurate if you had researched the history of these little towns. There is a tremendous amount of interest and much history in every one. You missed the peach packing plant in Musella where thousands of people come to get peaches in summer. Ever hear of the battle of Culloden in Scotland. This town was settled by Scottish people in 1739. Before covid they had Scottish Games competition every year. In Roberta is Hudson’s BBQ where you can get some of the best in the country. You are in the remnants of the Deep South and it’s a shame you don’t visit with the locals.
