Pretty ironic, given the huge Civil War connection with this town.
My wife and I vacationed for a few days there. Stayed at the train station rebuilt as a hotel. Had a very good time, but the fact is the town is small, and rather drab.
Nice people though.
I just can’t get my mind wrapped around this particular city doing this, given its history.
If you think 'Noogaville is drab now, you should have seen it in the '80's before they started rebuilding the riverfront. It was just a dirty little mill town then and NOBODY went downtown after dark. By comparison, today it's a nice place to step out on the town without too much worry about being thumped on the head for your wallet.....
