I have a long heritage with GA, I am 72 now and still have lots of fond memories growing up and living here. I have lived in a few other states, and drove an 18 wheeler across the Nation. Always came home to GA. I will die here like most of my relatives. Loved the trip. Peace
Amen to that! I’ve been to lots of states in America and all over the world. But there’s only one place I’ll call home and that in Georgia. Georgia is always on my mind.. Like I said I’ve been to a lot of places but nowhere Compares to Georgia my home!! 💯
3:27 Please, for everyone who every said Atlanta doesn't have a Southern accent, James Dickey is a classic example of the Atlanta accent of the older generation...Jessica Tandy actually did it quite well in Driving Miss Daisy
Waycross here, buddy! I've worked in 6 different counties surrounding the area as a firefighter/ems. I've also hunted these counties and will never leave from the area.
Hell Yeah it is! There’s not many places that is like Georgia. I’ve been to lots of places but nowhere compares to my home Georgia.. The 🍑 State! We have mountains,beaches,Marsh, And plenty of history and historic cities!! God bless Georgia.. 💯 ❤️ I am from West Georgia. On the Georgia/Alabama state line and that will always be my home town. But I live outside of Savannah. Savannah is one of the most beautiful Cities in the United States!!
When I was a kid This was one of my favorite shows on PBS or GPS. (Georgia on my mind). I used to love to see all the beautiful city’s and learn all the history of all the beautiful cities.. 💯
My mother in law came from Whadley Georgia. Now I know why she not only had a huge heart for others, but wanted to move back home from New England. She taught me to cook those wonderful dishes and loved me like her own. Thank you Miss Morine 💞
Amen to that. People in the South are just more friendly and Very talkative and love to make people feel comfortable. Speaking as a Georgian. We want people to feel comfortable and part of the group. That’s why we’re so friendly and we like to talk and yes down in the South we take things a little slower than up north. But most true southerners have a big heart and will do anything to help you.. 💯 ❤️ 🍑 We will open our home up and invite you to have some sweet tea and talk with us..

Georgia is a beautiful place. I was born and raised here. Not only does it have a ton of natural beauty, it also has a lot of beauty in places like Savannah or Augusta. My favorite part of the nature here are the pine trees and the lakes as well as the Golden Isles on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, while my least favorite part of the place are the cudzu vines. They're strangling our region's natural resources.
Byron Herbert Reece is just one of my hometown’s local legends. He and his family lived in the Choestoe Valley at the foothills of Blood Mountain. His actual homestead was covered in the 1930s by Lake Trahlyta in Vogel State Park. Gold was originally discovered in Blairsville in 1832. The result of this is devastating because it was deemed necessary by the village forefathers to make the Cherokee leave their homes by force and go west. Then huge plots of land were given to the white man…. The history is long and can be read in the Old Courthouse on the square. It’s not pretty. But it’s history and shouldn’t be forgotten. I was raised surrounded by Blue Rock mountain, Buzzard Roost and Blood Mountain . I love my home. And will leave this earth buried in our family cemetery with my brother, parents and grandparents. Today, it’s a city and I’m not fond of the crowds of tourists. I get that it’s necessary to a point but I miss the quiet days when this small town wasn’t even on the map. My heart and soul are forever lost in these mountains. ❤️
Wow, Good ole Racist Georgia. They forgot to tell about all the racism in Georgia past and present but no one wants to talk about that Georgia history.

I can assure you there were never "successful negotiations" with the native Americans. The negotiations were done at gunpoint.
One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Makes me proud to be a Georgian.

Leroy Powell was an Atlanta TV legend. His segments on WAGA-TV news could make you laugh, wonder, or even shed a tear

Does GPB not have the rights to use "Georgia on my Mind?" There is silence during the intro and outro of this show.

There is racism everywhere. Saying this as a Black woman from Georgia. Yes, GA has a painful history but so do other states and countries.
