Short Stop in Griffin, Georgia

[Ex-Ithacan]

I passed by Griffin , Georgia in November and spent a short time walking the downtown area. Griffin (pop ~ 24,000) is the seat of Spalding County (pop~ 64,000) and is located off I-75 about 35 miles from Atlanta. It is in the Atlanta metro. It's a nice smaller city with quite a bit of vehicular traffic in the downtown. Not too many pictures, but hopefully you'll get a feel for the place.

Griffin is nice too. Thanks for your thread, Ex-Ithacan!

You made a lovely tour along Georgia, yes. Those towns are worth to stop by and taking pictures, as you did.

Happy New Year and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Well this is one place I never expected to see a thread for on SSP. Nice tour!

Never heard of it but it seems pleasant.

Looks like a nice little place. That courthouse looks kind of strange and office-y.

Fantastic pictures! Thanks for sharing them with us.

City has great bones. I wasn't really sure but it seemed like a lot of the storefronts were a bit sad looking though. What were the businesses like? Most importantly...did you eat there?
