Blairsville, Georgia

Stand-alone, red-brick, Romanesque courthouse fills town square, is jewel of town. Older downtown, a twentieth-century hodgepodge. Car-centric, not pedestrian-friendly.

Just of main Route 76. Very retail/commercial in town. Home Depot.

Lovely, shallow, rolling valley, topographically

Poor land use planning

Routes 2/76 West, from Blairsville to Morganton

Beautiful, gently rolling land. Less and less subject to surrounding, high hills. Very similar topographically to Hunterdon. Mostly forested. With very occasional improvements, mostly commercial, occasional residential. But vastly undeveloped. Gives impression may NOT be protected forest per se, just undeveloped.

After cross into Fannin County, everything very similar. But with addition of beautiful, mid-size farms, especially cow.
