Plains Georgia-Jimmy Carter home
BruceDunning Says: This is a small podunk place that claims fame to Jimmy Carter, our President of past. Only 300 people live nearby, and probably 30-40 in town. It used to have a plethera of tourists when Jimmy was in vogue. No more, thankfully. He is not my favorite but in know it all.The...
BruceDunning Says: Just past Lumpkin (a really dead town-as in devasted and run down-even the courthouse has been closed for a long time and being "renovated"??), off Hwy 27 to Hwy 39C, this remote wilderness park is not utilized any longer, but you can walk the 7 mile trail to the bottom and...
BruceDunning Says: This is a somber place to remember the tough times soldiers had-in this case Union while in prison. There were 40,000 sent here over a period of one year while the prison was open. They were moved from more northern prisons due to Union troops encroaching into the South. Of...
BruceDunning Says: This is a 430 miles river, and Columbus once was the mid section with vibrant trade down to the Gulf area. Now, due the dams blocking the flow, this once swift flowing river is a trickle. It is said that two dams close to Columbus are to be blown up soon, in order to better...
BruceDunning Says: Most of the homes in the districts, of which there are 5-6 areas, and form 1830 era to early 1900's. Most are still in good shape and standards by the city keeps them this way. My view is most al are very modest type and nothing elegant of the times.

BruceDunning Says: This is for sure one of the most unique museums to behold. It has two main ships that were dredged up from waters and preserved, as well as many other smaller pieces of ships and artifacts. The stern of CSS Jackson was found in Chattahoochee River and the 250 hull was pulled...

Ezell's CAtfish Cabin: Old Time Fish Camp Theme

Well this may seem tacky but, I feel you should know. As is with many cities in North America, you generally have a few areas you should stay clear of. Columbus is a good town filled mostly with honest hard working individuals but, there are a few who would take advantage of you. Try not to venture out on 280 also known as Victory Drive late at night. And if you have children you may want to detour and avoid taking Victory Drive at all if possible. The establishments are less than attractive for families with children or who are offended by signs and writing that display services not suitable for little ones. And another tip, when driving through the Fort Benning Reservation Area do the speed limit and not more than 2 mph over it. The MP's (Military Police) love their jobs and they're good at it. If you're not sure where their patrolling areas are look for the 'Race Trac' gas station, from there all the way to the Bojangles right out side of Cusseta, is there prime target area, plus all the way up I-185 to the St Mary's Rd Exit 2.

Miscellaneous: Columbus has changed with the times. The industrial age diminished, the city adopted technology and service industries-particularly bank card processing and life/health insurance businesses.
