100 THINGS ATHENS

You Think You’ve Done Everything in Athens?

Athens, Georgia, is more than the University of Georgia. More than the Georgia Bulldogs. Granted, that’s a combination that ignites the fire that burns in every Athenian. Whether you come to school here or whether you simply find yourself in this geographical gem because of luck, Athens is a great place to live, work, and celebrate the best of the South. Ranked one of the top college towns in the United States, the campus is a delight, but the small businesses and activities that surround the campus is what keeps it glowing.

You think you’ve done everything there is to do in Athens? I think you’re misguided.
