Georgia Curiosities is your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Peach State has to offer. Decatur resident William Schemmel has combed Georgia for one-of-a-kind gems that make his home state truly unique.
With this guide in hand, you can see Georgia's special brand of roadside wildlife - the Big Rabbit, the Big Chicken, the Big Shrimp, the Pig Hill of Fame, and a mob of kangaroos far from their native land.
You'll sample such Georgia delicacies as Vidalia onions, MoonPies, chitlins, Chatham Artillery Punch, and Scrambled Dog.
You'll visit odd and faraway places such as Rome, Vienna, Athens, and rural Georgia's Stonehenge... and you'll be home in time for dinner!
Whether you were born and raised in Georgia or are a recent transplant, William Schemmel's home-grown humor will have you laughing out loud as he introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existed - right in your own backyard.
So sit back in your easy chair, put up your feet, and get ready for a road trip you'll never forget.
