Warrenton, Georgia

From Atlanta, take I-20 East towards Augusta.

Bear Right off Exit 154, and follow the signs to

Warrenton. Yesterday I was there for a brief

visit and took a few photos for you. There is

a special place in my heart for this town since

I have driven through it several times each year,

driving from Louisville to Atlanta and back -

often with a horse trailer on my bumper! My

mom got ticket there late one night when she

didn't make a complete stop at "THE" intersection,

so I would caution you to keep that in mind.

Here's what I really like about Warrenton:

1.) Small, quiet southern town with great 'bones'

2.) Close to the interstate and commerce

3.) Forward thinking: A biodiesel company

is opening a new facility in 2008 (American

Green Holdings, based in Missouri)

4.) Mayor Tony D. Mimbs reminds citizens to

support the Central Savannah River Regional

Development Center as it makes efforts to

promote Historic Preservation

5.) Lovely downtown area with mom-n-pop

restaurants (no fastfood chains in Warrenton!)

If you are ever behind the wheel and just want

to 'go somewhere,' drive to Warrenton on your

way to Louisville. It's a wonderful cultural stop!

If you're an investor, I would suggest thinking

about buying land near the I-20 exit since there

isn't much along the interstate between Lake

Oconee and Thompson. (hint hint)
