Atlanta Leisure Travel Examiner's Recommendations
Places
SOUTH NEWPORT, Ga. – Admittedly, the cinderblock building doesn’t make much of an impression from the road. But, for 60 years, Christ’s Chapel in Memorial Park has served the community well – even if a dozen people at a time.
WINDER, Ga. – The small town of about 10,000 owes a lot to the railroad. Its name, for starters. In 1893, the town of Jug Tavern, as Winder was once known, changed its name to Winder to honor John H. Winder, a general manager with Seaboard Air Line.
FOLKSTON, Ga. – Every day, upwards of 80 CSX trains pass through the Folkston Funnel, so named because two railroad lines merge just north of downtown. In fact, almost all Florida-bound freight trains pass through the city’s limits.
Businesses
CASHIERS, N.C. – The Carolina Smokehouse was quiet as I entered – it was barely a quarter past 11 in the morning. A handful of folks sat around the bar, carrying on a casual conversation. It’s a very pleasant way to pass the time on a Saturday morning.
BUELLTON, Calif. – The rolling hills of the Santa Ynez Valley are the perfect backdrop for some college friends to reunite and enjoy some fine dining and the region’s wine.
MARIETTA, Ga. – On the whole, road food doesn't have the same flair that it once did. Fast food restaurants have moved to a middle-of-the-road conformity, seemingly content with a bland approach to design, food and charm.
