Downtown Kingston, GA
I'm hoping someone who knows Kingston, GA politics can answer this one for me.
For starters, I'm a joy driver. When I was little, my dad and I drove all over south Louisiana, where I am originally from, almost every weekend and discovered all kinds of nooks and crannies. Since I moved to GA eight years ago, I've been doing the same thing with my kids- which brings me to my question:
Why is Kingston still a town of 700ish people and why is the main street just a place where one sits and watches tumbleweed blow by?
What a significant past this little place has and it's just sitting there, forgotten by time. My first guess would be that there is a corrupt government there that hoards town funds.
I have eaten breakfast at Morrells with my kids and we just love the little area. I have to also wonder why the Desoto Hotel just stands there in ill repair. I'm not saying that this town should be progressive or become some retail hub. I'm just wondering why they are not keeping up with this gem of a downtown. Where are all the Civil War reenactments and such? It could be so much better. Anyone from that are care to fill me in?
