    My family has lived in Central GA for years and I've lived there all my life, and I've been away for 5 months for military training but I can't wait to cruise the streets in my 86 nissan again and eat countless nu way hotdogs. Love the video. Only 45 days left till I'm back to my one true home.

    I grew up in Macon. 1958 - 1966 (5th grade through high school graduation, (Willingham High). It was a blast back then, even though the Highschools weren't coeducational....at least not the White Schools. Great Football rivalries, though for years we beat Lanier like a drum. I can't believe you didn't "drag Cherry." The sad part is that the old hangouts like Finchers BBQ and Pig And Whistle were no where. There also were so many places that no longer are there. Chichesters' Drugs, NuWay hotdogs, Marks Hideaway (Restaurant under the Street), etc. I did catch a glimpse of the Dempsey, but it looks like a lot of vacant store front / buildings in downtown. No matter, I still LOVE Macon.You really should have Showcased Macon during the Cherry Blossom festival and shown some of the beautiful Antebellum homes there.

    I love Macon. While Savannah is the colonial South and Atlanta is the modern South...Macon is the antebellum South. Just going down I-75 from Atlanta to Macon and I-16 from Macon to Savannah is a step back through time (architecturally speaking).

    Macon Georgia, I left Macon back in 2011. That looks like Macon Center on the right. Now you're no Poplar St. On MLK Jr Blvd, Mercer Medicine, Walnut St. going left. I use to live in that motel on the left about 20 years ago. I remember Broadway, take a left on Riverside on the left, I still they run light huh? Ole College St, on Georgia Ave, right on Mulberry. All you are doing is driving around.

    Home of Capricorn recording studio. Allman Brothers, Wet Willie, Chuck Levell, Otis Redding, Little Richard etc. All the 70's bands called Macon home at some point, even Cher who married Greg Allman. Downtown has everything you need for a good time. Legendary H&H Cafe, many other eateries on Cherry Street. Home of Cherry Blossom Festival. So many things to offer. Of course like any mid size town, there are areas riddled by crime but everyone knows to stay away. The video here does not do justice to the city. Come see for yourself.
