Augusta Street Named One of the Most Charming in America
An Augusta street was just named one of “America’s Most Charming Streets,” according to a recent poll done photobook company, Mixbook.
The Augusta Street is one of three in Georgia that made the list. Broad Street in Augusta finished 69th on the list of “America’s Most Charming Streets,” according to results of the poll.
Savannah’s Broughton Street, noted for its historical buildings and 19th-century architecture, is ranked 6th on the list. Main Street in Helen was ranked 23rd, noted for its Alpine-style structures, restaurants and wine tasting rooms nestled in the North Georgia Mountains.
Broad Street in Augusta was noted for not only its Southern charm, but for its historical buildings, the iconic James Brown Statue, and Riverwalk nearby.
“The inclusion of these three streets in the top 100 is a testament to the Peach State’s unique charm, history, culture and natural beauty,” according to Mixbook.

5 Things Only People From The South Will Understand
The Weather Will Change In The Blink Of An Eye
I’ve heard this phrase a bunch living in The South. “If you don’t like the weather, give it a minute, it’ll change.” One day it might be 90 degrees, and the next it could be 50. Let’s not forget about those pop-up afternoon showers that have the chance of happening every day between the months of May and August. The weather in The South can be nuts, but most of us are used to it by now.
College Football Is A Way Of Life
Whether you cheer for Georgia, South Carolina, Clemson or whoever, Saturdays in The Fall are sacred down here. Every Saturday, you see people decked out in all of their game day gear. When the game is on, we don’t want to be disturbed. Another funny thing is in The South we don’t say “Georgia has a tough game this weekend”, we say “We’ve got a tough one this weekend”. I love football Saturdays, and I know y’all do too!
We Love Fairs And Festivals
Down here in the South, we love a good fair or festival. It’s a great chance to see your friends and neighbors. It’s also a great chance to try new food. Fairs and festivals are just things that people look forward to down here, and I bet if I put you on the spot, you could name your favorite festival or fair. Trust me, we’ve all got one. Mine is the Columbia County Fall Fair.
Southern Food Is The Best
It doesn’t matter if it’s fried chicken or BBQ, we’ve got the best food in the South, and we love to eat. If you’ve having a family get together or a football party, everyone brings something, and it’s their own special recipe, which they may or may not be willing to share with you. I love a good “hole in the wall” Southern comfort food place, and don’t worry there is no shortage of those down here.
Southern Hospitality
That’s one thing you hear a lot about is Southern hospitality. We want to treat people nice when they come to visit. We’re always willing to show people around, and we want to make sure they eat good. When people come to visit us down here in The South, we want them to leave saying “I had the best time”. I think that is what really sets us apart from some other places in the country, the Southern hospitality.
