Our visit to Rome, GA was at a private 30-acre property on the out skirts of town. We had partial hook ups with electric and water. The hosts were very gracious and made us feel at home. Quiet and secluded with, with unfortunately, too much rain did not totally put a damper on our time there. We had some basic chores to do like, laundry and some marketing. When we finished it was time to explore the area. Rome is a historic town in N West GA near the Alabama boarder. Glenn Pop Warner was the football coach of UGA and during a game with UVA coached by John Heisman. A UGA player from Rome, GA was killed during the game and a memorial was erected to him, Warner and Heisman in the town center. Glenn Warner went on to become famous for starting POP Warner football and John Heisman had the famous Heisman Trophy named after him.
The town has a very large and thriving downtown with Broad Street at the center as well as the Berry College Campus and the Atlanta Braves Farm team stadium. Many interesting shops and eateries line both sides of the street. Walking up one side and down the other is a good mile. We ate some Thai food for lunch and strolled in the not so great weather. Being in the town was an experience that made us realize we probably would not have gone there had it not been for our off the beaten path travels. Pushing forward to warmer weather for the winter is our initial goal and Rome was just another step as we “follow the yellow brick road”.
