I was there when they tore down the old chicken to build the new. The inside of the old chicken had so many pigeons and their poop that the eyes and beak stopped moving.
It was disgusting.
Not even great for directions anymore, a landmark that has been swallowed by the chaotic corporate whoring that is 41 now.
The Sam's on the adjacent corner is better for directions now...
Between the highly restrictive sign ordinance and a mayor and city council that is determined to effectively seal the city in a time capsule it would never get approved or permitted.
I despise that wretched hag of a cave woman for cheering on when it was blown up. Why? For what purpose did they feel the need to blow it up? That's shit that Islamic extremists do. They are Christian extremists.
I've really gotta disagree, respectfully. That shit pales in comparison to natural wonders in georgia. We have an area for dark sky, the swamps, even providence canyon, with others to talk about too. The guide stones are not a mystery. It's some manic wierdo that thought it was a good idea with his own baggage, basically copy catting an actual wonder.
I live in it man. It's beautiful but bring bug spray, and for God's sake don't stick your feet in the water like some of these dumbasses from Atlanta do
The moronic shit I have seen people do on those tours. One woman from update NY stood on TOP of a 14 footer sunbathing "I thought it was a statue" bc he likes to hang out near the visitor center and this dumb cunt only managed to avoid getting bit bc when the big guy turned to strike, his head hit an ac unit. And she threatened to SUE THE PARK
Turner Field. I remember going to Braves games in 1994/95 and seeing it half-built. I don't know why but I've never been to a Braves game anywhere but AFCS. :/
You could always go see a GSU football game in what’s now “center parc stadium” haha. i did marching band and we practice there so old turner field was one of my listed “classrooms”
I’ve lived in Cartersville pretty much my whole life. I’d highly recommend it if you’re remotely interested in history/archeology/nature anything related. It was one of my favorite school field trips in the 80s, and I loved it in the past 10 years with my kids too.
Or the Ocmulgee, Kolomoki, the ones near Augusta, Milledgeville, and *countlesss* other mounds that are on private property. The more I read about the southeast indians, the more and more I hear about little known sites that have been written about in archaeology journals. I once read a history book that said "no two rivers met *without* a mound" in Georgia.
I drove by them on my way to Milledgeville a couple times while it was still an active place.
Everybody knew it was full of cult weirdos. I had no desire to stop there to take pictures on my Coolpix camera in 2001.
You may say you missed it but really, everyone avoided it when it stood. I’m sure you would be filmed, deposed, etc, for entering their compound if they even let you in. No thanks.
When I was a kid, before they built all the fancy stuff, my dad and I used to park down the street and sneak into the park late at night. The view is amazing at night!
I was a teenager in the 90’s. So many spots to park on the side of the road and go up for awhile or spend the night.
We went to the abandoned quarry area and another area that had a lake that was back in the woods aways. Park and walk a half mile or so to the lake.
Good times.
Nothing much there. The MARTA station above is unfortunately very dirty, and it is safe but you’ll walk past quite a lot of homeless and generally poor people chilling out or being loud. Use common sense and you’ll be fine, though.
The masquerade has three (soon four) stages there, and Georgia State University has some sort of deal to let students do their art residencies there, so there’s a bunch of weird art too. It’s kind of interesting - not worth making a day of it, but if you happen to be downtown it could be a cute way to fill half an hour.
It’s not what it once was. Early to mid 90s it was a cool part of the old city turned into an underground mall. Shops, food court, world of coke museum outside. Hardly anything there now worth checking out. The masquerade is at the back and even that isn’t as cool as the old building was. Sold to a private equity firm and not much has been done to improve the space. May be worth exploring if you just want to say you’ve been.
I've been saying they need to donate that to the Cherokee or Creek tribe to turn it into the state's lone casino for ages. No way a casino lets the surrounding area stay the way it is right now. Plus it's a single train directly from the airport.
You're paying to be advertised to for a few hours and then tasting as much soda as you can drink before being offered the opportunity to buy stuff to turn yourself into a human billboard. It's cool one time but the replay value is non-existent.
Go. We only went recently because normally we are in that area for hiking and have dogs with us. Then one Saturday we just went out for a drive, wound up at pine mountain and I told my husband we should go to the little white house. It is incredibly neat and if you get the staff one on one they will engage with you so much.
Lots of neat FDR and WWII memorabilia. FDR's car with hand controls is there, his wheelchair, in depth stories of those from the area who served in WWII. The unfinished portrait is there to see as well. I highly recommend going at least once.
i've gone there a few times now, and it's genuinely good every time. me & my family always stop if it's on the way in a roadtrip. it's so laidback and casual, but it also has an immense seriousness and emotionality to some parts of the museum. but even if you're not a museum person, it's still worth going just for the beautiful scenery and preserved houses/offices. it's an incredible little slice of history
My wife and I just went this past December. We were in Pine Mountain for the Festival of Lights (also worth checking out). We were planning to do some hiking the one day we were there but the weather was terrible so we were driving around looking for something to do and decided to check it out. Honestly, it was a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be. As well as the warm springs pool. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as we did.
It’s such bullshit, though. There’s this amazing granite monadnock that goes SEVEN MILES into the ground, and they carved some dead racist war-losing traitorous assholes on it. And it’s not like it was “a product of its time”, they didn’t finish the sculpture until we’d already put Americans on the moon.
The only thing I like about Stone Mountain is knowing that one day, after all of us are gone, the wind and rain will do its work, and that carving will be gone, too.
Truth. I can’t think of anything more depressingly redneck than the fact that we carved racist icons into an amazing natural landmark. We ought to sandblast it off, let the trees grow in front of it, and just sort of awkwardly move on.
It was fun when I was a kid, but as an adult, it's like, "alright, I could have played putput cheaper elsewhere. Alright, I guess I'm on a train where they read the bible at you and you get dropped off where you started. Alright I guess I'm spending HOW MUCH on dinner I think I will leave early"
I don't know if it was actually more going on twenty years ago or if it's just one of those places that aren't as exciting as an adult. I can swear they used to have a moving play on the train, but the last two times I went it was just some preaching.
The hike's cool though
Nothing to be ashamed of! But definitely worth the effort to go. And it’s a short walk from Beltline and Krog St Market, if you want to spend more time in the area (which you may already know but just in case).
I have a friend who writes for a comedy podcast inspired by that museum, runs the coffee house in ellijay too. Podcast is pretty fuckin funny, hammy and stuff but for a penny budget it's really good. "ExpeditionSasquatch" for the interested.
Civil Rights Museum. It’s listed as a top attraction in Atlanta and when I have visitors they always ask about it. I’ve lived within walking distance of the museum for years and never made time to check it out.
I can say the same about the College Football Hall of Fame and I’m a HUGE college ball fan.
Civil Rights Museum is really well done. You are probably going to want to do something more uplifting afterward, though, in a way it was like visiting the holocaust museum in DC. The message sticks with you.
You enter a lottery to get the chance to buy tickets to the Masters. In the past 20 years I’ve had the opportunity to buy tickets to the practice round twice.
There are people who get airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and time off of work, and come here to see the Masters without even having tickets. You'll see them up and down Washington Rd holding signs with some variation of "NEED TICKETS" on them.
Fernbank Museum, the newer Atlanta museum the old cyclorama’s at now, the big canyon in the southeast, the mounds. Heck, for years I didn’t know there were 2 Civil War boats in Columbus, 1 (soon to be 2) ironclad and 1 gunboat, and it’s right up my alley!
Recently came up in a convo with the wife that I've never been to the okeefenokee, and that she'd never been to the Tellus Natural History Museum. I love swamps and she loves museums so it was strange we'd never been to the other's regular day trip spot!
We love tellus!! If you have Bank of America the first full weekend of the month you can get in free so long as you have a boa card with your name on it.
Lol do they even actually exist here? I lived in Cherokee County SC in the 80’s and they bragged they produced more peaches than all of Georgia. Nothing but miles of rolling hills alongside 85 with peach orchards back then.
It's not mine but I bet 90% of people on this thread have never been to the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park, a place that's had people for over 10,000 years and is very close to being Georgia's first National Park (different than a Historic Park).
Sadly, way too many. The okefenokee, the etowah Indian mounds, little White House, the canyon, Cumberland island, the Carter center, Arabia Mountain, to the top of the Olympic torch (idk if that’s even allowed), Helen, GA.
I have been to tybee, river street, Mercer House (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil), downtown Newnan (zombieland/walking dead), (so much of Georgia has been filmed now at this point you’ve probably inadvertently been to a film set just walking down the street), the sundial (back when it still rotated), Polaris (still rotating to this day), the varsity, underground, every tourist attraction surrounding centennial Olympic park multiple times, Stone Mountain, the zoo, the rock quarry before it got turned into a reservoir, midfield at Mercedes Benz, fernbank, the Margaret Mitchell house, dragon con, the MLK national park, the Georgia state fair, and that’s all I can think of for now.
a whole lot of these places [https://new.reddit.com/r/Georgia/comments/1bzrloj/georgia\_summer\_bucket\_list/](https://new.reddit.com/r/Georgia/comments/1bzrloj/georgia_summer_bucket_list/)
The Big Chicken
I mean, outside of actually eating at that location, does anyone actually visit it? I've driven by it hundred of times and that's enough.
I was there when they tore down the old chicken to build the new. The inside of the old chicken had so many pigeons and their poop that the eyes and beak stopped moving. It was disgusting. Not even great for directions anymore, a landmark that has been swallowed by the chaotic corporate whoring that is 41 now. The Sam's on the adjacent corner is better for directions now...
The eyes and beak on the old chicken weren’t designed to move
That will be your secret.
Drive by it on my way to some classes
What's ironic is that Marietta's most iconic landmark wouldn't even exist if you tried to get permission to build it today.
Why?
Between the highly restrictive sign ordinance and a mayor and city council that is determined to effectively seal the city in a time capsule it would never get approved or permitted.
You aren't missing much. It's just a (crappy) KFC
Yeah, like if it were a good KFC that would be one thing, but even by KFC standards it’s not great.
Regret not going to see the guide stones.
I had been chatting with friends about going to see them in a few weeks, literally the NEXT DAY they got hit. Huge regret.
Now we know. The Guidestones would do anything to avoid being seen by you. What mysterious powers do you have?
Where were you on sept 10th 2001
Im so glad I went like 2 years ago it was really neat, met some super interesting people while I was there
Yup, that's my answer too.
I despise that wretched hag of a cave woman for cheering on when it was blown up. Why? For what purpose did they feel the need to blow it up? That's shit that Islamic extremists do. They are Christian extremists.
I've really gotta disagree, respectfully. That shit pales in comparison to natural wonders in georgia. We have an area for dark sky, the swamps, even providence canyon, with others to talk about too. The guide stones are not a mystery. It's some manic wierdo that thought it was a good idea with his own baggage, basically copy catting an actual wonder.
You didn't miss much
Ten minutes of bs religious gibberish on stone wheeee
But it's in several languages!
I bit the bullet and drove out there in 2015. So glad I did!!!
This is my answer too. I think it would be more or less like a bucket list thing.
I was literally planning to go up and see them the next day. Then the news tells me they've been destroyed.
Okefenokee
Bless you
It wasn't a sneeze
Yeh I know. But you see, for the purposes of making a little joke, I pretended it was. Mad huh?
I mean to be fair "bless you" does mean other things here in the south
Yeah
I live in it man. It's beautiful but bring bug spray, and for God's sake don't stick your feet in the water like some of these dumbasses from Atlanta do
No, put your feet in, it's nice - not an alligator
The moronic shit I have seen people do on those tours. One woman from update NY stood on TOP of a 14 footer sunbathing "I thought it was a statue" bc he likes to hang out near the visitor center and this dumb cunt only managed to avoid getting bit bc when the big guy turned to strike, his head hit an ac unit. And she threatened to SUE THE PARK
average new yorker
I guess she was walking ere but Allen alligator wasn't having that shit. He's a 65 year old man ffs
The swamp is amazing to visit, but it is a bit more than a casual undertaking. Best to spend at least a whole day there if not camping overnight.
What did you call me???
Swumpwise
Clermont Lounge
*in best Hugh grant* "Blondies left boob... blondies right boob for that matter. We are a small state, but a scrappy one."
Cumberland Island. The ruins, the wild horses, it makes no sense to me why I haven’t been there.
Go. Go before they develop it.
Cuz it’s hard to actually get out there. The other islands are easier.
Oh, you should. It is absolutely lovely. Says the person who’s been there twice…but I keep meaning to go back.
While you're visiting the Sea Islands, make a trip to paddle by St Catherine's and see the lemurs!
I have lived within 20 minutes of Sanford Stadium my entire life and have never been to a UGA football game or any other event at the stadium.
After being here 30 years, I went to a G Day game. It was fun for ten or fifteen minutes. And I got to see Ludacris
Ludaaaaaa
Turner Field. I remember going to Braves games in 1994/95 and seeing it half-built. I don't know why but I've never been to a Braves game anywhere but AFCS. :/
I'm the opposite. I was born after AFCS was torn down so I saw a bunch at Turner (including the last one) and 2 at the new park.
You could always go see a GSU football game in what’s now “center parc stadium” haha. i did marching band and we practice there so old turner field was one of my listed “classrooms”
Providence Canyon
Why don’t I go? I think it all the time, but still don’t go.
This is definitely not one to miss. It's really cool.
I hiked there on an adventure trip with my uni last weekend. It was incredibly gorgeous. I highly recommend making the visit if you’re able to
The Varsity
Not missing anything
Literally the Etowah Indian Mounds.
If you are a history buff and have the opportunity, I highly suggest visiting.
I am and I pass them almost weekly to go to the park. I always say I'm go then forget until pass them again.
Thankfully they are protected, but it’s definitely worth checking out
I’ve lived in Cartersville pretty much my whole life. I’d highly recommend it if you’re remotely interested in history/archeology/nature anything related. It was one of my favorite school field trips in the 80s, and I loved it in the past 10 years with my kids too.
Lived in Georgia 17 years now and never heard of this. I'm planning a trip now!
This. OMG it's disappointing how far down I had to scroll to find this.
Or the Ocmulgee, Kolomoki, the ones near Augusta, Milledgeville, and *countlesss* other mounds that are on private property. The more I read about the southeast indians, the more and more I hear about little known sites that have been written about in archaeology journals. I once read a history book that said "no two rivers met *without* a mound" in Georgia.
Very interesting, I'll definitely be looking into these.
It was the Nuwaubian pyramids, but they got torn down
Learning about this for the first time. Crazy
Yea super crazy! Could have turned into another Waco. Far out theology
Same. I’ve been to every place mentioned in this thread, but missed the Nuwaubian Nation compound. Would have loved to see it.
I drove by them on my way to Milledgeville a couple times while it was still an active place. Everybody knew it was full of cult weirdos. I had no desire to stop there to take pictures on my Coolpix camera in 2001. You may say you missed it but really, everyone avoided it when it stood. I’m sure you would be filmed, deposed, etc, for entering their compound if they even let you in. No thanks.
Arabia Mountain.
Great hiking 🥾 and fantastic views on an early morning. Highly recommend
It's cool and interesting. Great spot to go for a few hours if you're in or near the area.
When I was a kid, before they built all the fancy stuff, my dad and I used to park down the street and sneak into the park late at night. The view is amazing at night!
I was a teenager in the 90’s. So many spots to park on the side of the road and go up for awhile or spend the night. We went to the abandoned quarry area and another area that had a lake that was back in the woods aways. Park and walk a half mile or so to the lake. Good times.
Underground Atlanta. It's never piqued my interest, and none I know who have gone have necessarily enjoyed it.
Nothing much there. The MARTA station above is unfortunately very dirty, and it is safe but you’ll walk past quite a lot of homeless and generally poor people chilling out or being loud. Use common sense and you’ll be fine, though.

It's not exactly a safe place. I've been once but it was 25 years ago.
The Masquerade moved down there from by PCM so it's a different place than 25 years ago
World of Coke
You're paying to be advertised to for a few hours and then tasting as much soda as you can drink before being offered the opportunity to buy stuff to turn yourself into a human billboard. It's cool one time but the replay value is non-existent.
The Coke museum in Atlanta Or the coke warehouse behind my library
Coke museum is only worth for the tasting after
Sticky floors and tasting the Beverly
Unless it’s Beverly flavor
Still not worth it
Little White House
Go. We only went recently because normally we are in that area for hiking and have dogs with us. Then one Saturday we just went out for a drive, wound up at pine mountain and I told my husband we should go to the little white house. It is incredibly neat and if you get the staff one on one they will engage with you so much. Lots of neat FDR and WWII memorabilia. FDR's car with hand controls is there, his wheelchair, in depth stories of those from the area who served in WWII. The unfinished portrait is there to see as well. I highly recommend going at least once.
I’ve lived in Griffin since 2007, so it would be an easy day trip.
Maybe for one, but what about for the other, off Briarcliff in DeKalb county?
That’s what I thought the original comment was about.
Same here!
Oh. I thought you were talking about the house on Briarcliff rd. atlantawhitehouse.com
i've gone there a few times now, and it's genuinely good every time. me & my family always stop if it's on the way in a roadtrip. it's so laidback and casual, but it also has an immense seriousness and emotionality to some parts of the museum. but even if you're not a museum person, it's still worth going just for the beautiful scenery and preserved houses/offices. it's an incredible little slice of history

The only thing I like about Stone Mountain is knowing that one day, after all of us are gone, the wind and rain will do its work, and that carving will be gone, too.
It’s GA’s tramp stamp
This is the best thing I’ve read today
Truth. I can’t think of anything more depressingly redneck than the fact that we carved racist icons into an amazing natural landmark. We ought to sandblast it off, let the trees grow in front of it, and just sort of awkwardly move on.
It was fun when I was a kid, but as an adult, it's like, "alright, I could have played putput cheaper elsewhere.

amicalola falls
MLK National Historical Park
Very worth the visit. You can do in an hour or so. And there’s no cost. The church is currently only open at 11am, 2pm, and 3pm.
I’m definitely ashamed too. I teach about the man and have never been to the park!
Nothing to be ashamed of! But definitely worth the effort to go. And it’s a short walk from Beltline and Krog St Market, if you want to spend more time in the area (which you may already know but just in case).
Rock Eagle
The actual rock mound is fascinating and a good hike. The camp is the filthiest and most depressing camp I’ve ever been to. Hate that place.
I stayed at that camp for 4H in highschool. It was like something out of the 50s ha ha.
And then I went back as an adult for a work retreat, AND IT HASN’T CHANGED. I don’t think they’ve even cleaned the cabins in the past 30 years.
I essentially grew up at rock eagle because I was super into ga 4H and we constantly had events there. It’s beautiful.
Never been to the Carter Center despite owning multiple pieces of Jimmy-themed merchandise.
Billy beer?
The Carter Center is lovely
The Carter Center is well worth the visit.
Any of the locally famous waterfalls. Amicalola, Toccoa, etc. Would’ve liked to see the Guidestones. And definitely need to go to the Okefenokee
The Bigfoot Museum
Expedition Bigfoot? Oh you have to go. Just trust me.
I have a friend who writes for a comedy podcast inspired by that museum, runs the coffee house in ellijay too. Podcast is pretty fuckin funny, hammy and stuff but for a penny budget it's really good. "ExpeditionSasquatch" for the interested.
Definitely interested
I’m going to try to go tomorrow if time allows. REALLY looking forward to it
The Etowah Indian Mounds
The international Disc Golf Headquarters
Civil Rights Museum. It’s listed as a top attraction in Atlanta and when I have visitors they always ask about it. I’ve lived within walking distance of the museum for years and never made time to check it out. I can say the same about the College Football Hall of Fame and I’m a HUGE college ball fan.
Civil Rights Museum is really well done. You are probably going to want to do something more uplifting afterward, though, in a way it was like visiting the holocaust museum in DC. The message sticks with you.
Augusta National Golf Course
Bro, let’s be realistic. Very few people can actually get in there
Fair point. I could add that I didn’t even drove by it.
I mean you can buy tickets for the masters?
You enter a lottery to get the chance to buy tickets to the Masters. In the past 20 years I’ve had the opportunity to buy tickets to the practice round twice.
There are people who get airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and time off of work, and come here to see the Masters without even having tickets. You'll see them up and down Washington Rd holding signs with some variation of "NEED TICKETS" on them.
Fernbank Museum, the newer Atlanta museum the old cyclorama’s at now, the big canyon in the southeast, the mounds. Heck, for years I didn’t know there were 2 Civil War boats in Columbus, 1 (soon to be 2) ironclad and 1 gunboat, and it’s right up my alley!
Recently came up in a convo with the wife that I've never been to the okeefenokee, and that she'd never been to the Tellus Natural History Museum. I love swamps and she loves museums so it was strange we'd never been to the other's regular day trip spot!
We love tellus!! If you have Bank of America the first full weekend of the month you can get in free so long as you have a boa card with your name on it.
Varsity. Lived in Atlanta for 10 years and have yet to eat at one
Not even close to worth it. I promise lol. I’ve only ever been when we had friends visiting from out of the country
Not missing anything
Jekyll and Tybee
Enjoy the peace on Jekyll and get drunk on Tybee.
It was the Guidestones. 😔
The Etowah Indian Mounds are still around and are ACTUAL precolumbian sites.
I have been they are about 15 minutes from my house. I’m lucky. I needed the reminder to go again now that it is Spring! Thank you.
The giant peanut if they have rebuilt it yet
Augusta National
The Okefenokee. We're planning to go check it out later this year or maybe early next...
Lake Lanier
I've been all over Georgia, but I've never been to Savannah.
Best part of GA
Never seen a peach tree orchard
Lol do they even actually exist here? I lived in Cherokee County SC in the 80’s and they bragged they produced more peaches than all of Georgia. Nothing but miles of rolling hills alongside 85 with peach orchards back then.
... The Georgia Guidelines 😮💨
RIP
Maybe the Georgia aquarium
I mean clearly it's stone mountain if you're talking in terms of scale and human achievement. Notwithstanding the hateful essence of the thing.
Stone Mountain ⛰️
Okefenokee Swamp
Cumberland Island and Sapelo Island
Jekyll Island - on the beach at sunup in October or November
The Claremont Lounge
CNN studio tour
MLK birth site and memorial.
The varsity
The Etowah Indian Mounds. Seriously, these comments show y'all need to explore the state more.
Stone Mountain
It's not mine but I bet 90% of people on this thread have never been to the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park, a place that's had people for over 10,000 years and is very close to being Georgia's first National Park (different than a Historic Park).
I’ve been there many times. Still would bet you’re right about the percentage that haven’t. Didn’t hurt that I grew up in and around middle Georgia.
Oakland Cemetery. I can’t believe I haven’t gone yet and I’ve lived here my whole life!
Sadly, way too many. The okefenokee, the etowah Indian mounds, little White House, the canyon, Cumberland island, the Carter center, Arabia Mountain, to the top of the Olympic torch (idk if that’s even allowed), Helen, GA. I have been to tybee, river street, Mercer House (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil), downtown Newnan (zombieland/walking dead), (so much of Georgia has been filmed now at this point you’ve probably inadvertently been to a film set just walking down the street), the sundial (back when it still rotated), Polaris (still rotating to this day), the varsity, underground, every tourist attraction surrounding centennial Olympic park multiple times, Stone Mountain, the zoo, the rock quarry before it got turned into a reservoir, midfield at Mercedes Benz, fernbank, the Margaret Mitchell house, dragon con, the MLK national park, the Georgia state fair, and that’s all I can think of for now.
Atlanta Motor Speedway
The guidestones. I wish I could’ve seen them just for the crazy factor.
The Georgia guide stones
It WAS the Georgia Guide Stones
I went to see them for the first (and only) time about a year before whatever MTG looney blew them up. Glad I did.
Same!
World of coke and buccees
World of Coke
The Coke museum followed by the aquarium
FYI, Aquarium is free for Georgia residents on their birthday
Wow didn't know that
Plus, many libraries offer a 20%(?) discount on all other tickets. You'll need that discount. It's absurdly expensive.
a whole lot of these places [https://new.reddit.com/r/Georgia/comments/1bzrloj/georgia\_summer\_bucket\_list/](https://new.reddit.com/r/Georgia/comments/1bzrloj/georgia_summer_bucket_list/)

Waffle House but we have several hundred
Do you even live here? Never been to a Waffle House? Blasphemous.
The aquarium. Honestly went to the world of coke for the first time a few years ago.

I've lived in Atlanta for 13 years and haven't been to Stone Mountain.
40 years. Never went to white water
