America’s Best Cities to Visit by Car, but when you arrive may Hand you a Bike!

You might have noticed that my posts were absent last month.  Well I am happy to say that all of the lobbying I did to Forbes paid off again!  It is usually me and Donald Trump trying to volley our interests forward each year!  In the month of July, Forbes came out with a piece entitled, “Best American towns to visit by car.”  Athens, GA was one of the few and the proud to be included in this list.

They point out what we already knew of course that we have a thriving culture and music scene, hence the nickname, “the Classic City,” and they say Athens is “chock full of coffee shops and bars suitable for late nights and philosophizing.”  What is interesting is that they comment on the fact that we have a thriving “bike” culture which I think testifies to an active lifestyle as well as a desire to live “green.”   You can find the column at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31493051/ns/travel-destinations.

A couple of upcoming events of note; 

The Athens Clarke Heritage Foundation is sponsoring a guided tours celebrating Athens-Clarke County's designation as one of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's 2009 Dozen Distinctive Destinations. For more information please go to their website at http://www.achfonline.org.

The Athens Habitat for Humanity’s Birthday Bash http://www.athenshabitat.com

For 21 years serving the local community!

Finally today, let me mention that when you look over the list of things to do around Athens right now they are consumed with the outdoors.  From stargazing with the Athens Astronomical Association to going down a sleepy stream on a raft, tube, or kayak, to taking a full moon hike at night, our parks seem to be busy right now 24/7!

Come Visit Athens, GA and you will find that the “Bubble City” of Goodness has been waiting on you!
