My home town, Blairsville, Georgia is situated in a valley with a backdrop of mountains. The town sprawls along a four-lane - Highway 515. The historical district is located around the town square with the old courthouse as focal point. Blairsville doesn't have a Wal-mart. The largest stores are Home Depot, Ingles, Bi-Lo, Rite Aid, and CVS pharmacy. Other notable stores are King's 5 and 10 cent store, Early Bird Antiques, Foodland, Radio Shack, Video Unlimited, Evelyn's Fabric Center and Quilt Shop, the Stress Free Store, and the Book Nook. Not much choice around here for shoppers, there's not one place in town that sales plus size women's clothing. Thank God for online shopping! Blairsville has lots of restaurants. Here's the ones I can think of right off hand - Blairsville Restaurant, the Hole in the Wall, Nancy's Pizza, Papa's Pizza (the best Pizza due to thin, crispy crust), Downtown Pizza, Domino's Pizza, Grinds and Glazes, Huddle House, Waffle House, McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Blimpie, Subway, Monte Alban, Aviator Cafe (for fruit smoothies), JJ's Cafe, Mike's Seafood, Cobb's Mill, Muffy's, Rib Country, and a couple of oriental places. My favorite has to be Blairsville Restaurant just because it's the local hangout and the salad dressing can't be beat. Blairsville is a dry county which means no alcohol. We don't have beer, wine, or mixed drinks so not many large franchises come here (Blairsville).
OH YES. I forgot the Sawmill for country pork chops and mashed potatoes. Haven't tried breakfast there yet but hear it's scrumptous.
