Jonesboro, Georgia

I'm here for the week.

The Civil War Battle of Jonesborough (now renamed to make spelling easier) was fought here in 1864. You can read all about it here.

Jonesboro is the county seat for Clayton County, Georgia. The book Gone With The Wind featured several scenes that take place in Clayton County. There are some GWTW touristy things here -- a "Road to Tara" vistor center in Jonesboro (a converted old train station), reconstructions of the typical plantations and other fun stuff.

I have no time though -- gotta work.

I remember when Lindsay first saw GWTW. She was horrified that anyone could behave the way Scarlett did.
