An insider’s guide to Athens for Dawgs fans
It’s almost that time of the year for Bulldog Nation when all roads lead to Athens.

Well done, Bill. As an Athens resident of 57 years, your review is on the mark. In regard to Michael Stipe, though I never said a word to him, he proved quite warm with his smile when eye contact was made.
FAN…tastic article! Very informative! Now, I have a side mission. Time to rediscover Athens. I know it's changed, since I was there, last...but, what hasn't?. Lol
Great article and pictures Bill. Athens is a special town. Thanks for bringing back many memories from being in college there!
Another great one Bill! I was also born in Athens, at Athens General Hospital in 1962. I attended Athens schools, from elementary school,through high school . I still love Athens, even though it's changed quite a bit from my memories of growing up there. It has always been, and still is, a great college town, with a lot more to offer than just football..GoDAWGS!
I missed this one when it was published, but enjoyed reading it today.
I was born in Athens and graduated from the University as did my father and my daughter. Thanks for highlighting some of what makes the town great.
Go, Dawgs!
