City/town information
Downtown Athens is a very walkable area. There's lots of outdoor and indoor spaces to eat and drink. Wuxtry's is a historical record shop, Walker's is a classic student coffeeshop, and the Georgia Theater rooftop is a gorgeous place to have some food. Annual events like the Wild Rumpus parade around Halloween are super fun for everyone in the family.
