I voted for Thomasville in your poll.
I think it is an absolute gem of a town, in a beautiful County.

Thomasville is gorgeous and not far from Tallahassee if you need amenities of a bigger town. I am amazed at how many people are unfamiliar with Thomasville... it is just a delightful place and most definately the gem of South Georgia. |

Yes, and Rosalind Russell is from nearby Bainbridge!
On the drive to Tallahassee, you actually pass by some of the old resorts that are actually still in use as residence's - just beautiful.
Not too sure if Thomasville itself would like us extolling her virtues to the world - they might want to remain a secret?

So difficult to decide... I know of many little gems. Golf gems, fishing gems, old house gems, partying gems... I simply cannot choose a single one.

I don't know enough about the places in your poll to make a choice, but there is a place in Georgia that I have been wanting to visit for years.
Callaway Gardens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hope I make it there some time this year. Can someone tell me when is the best time to visit? |
