Augusta needs to do a better job at advertising the yearly events. I do give them credit for reaching out to the Atlanta market and other nearby cities. But what about the local metro/CSRA?? Several of the people who live in the metro/CSRA only bring up the Masters. The city of Augusta has so much more to offer. The Westobou festival(150k to 200k), Arts in the Heart(80k), ESI Ironman, ESI Conference, Border Bash, Augusta Regetta, Southern Nationals, Wakeboard tournaments, and the IMBA World Summit all downtown..
How about a Westobou bus riding around Augusta...Alot of people in the metro know about Virginia College... How do so many people know about a small college??? Take a look below...

Right on.
Virginia College's advertising efforts have definitely worked. That bus sticks out, no matter where it is. Smart businesses should consider similar advertising efforts. It'll help out our bus system and there will certainly be a return on investment for advertisers as well.
It's like one of my co-workers said the other day: Augusta is growing rapidly and it's almost like city officials are trying to contain that growth. It makes no sense. It's just the little details that need to be addressed at this point and surely everything will fall into place.
Nort, I don't even know half of the stuff you're talking about with regards to local events.. The sad part is that I recently checked the official AugustaGA and Riverwalk web sites. Some of these events are so faceless because you don't get to meet the people behind them. With all the social networking tools out there, it is astounding that the free marketing venues are being neglected/wasted.. What the? o_O

I wouldn't go to the Augusta, GA website.. They're just going to give you the overall description about the event... You should check out the official websites themselves..
This is not a comment to downplay Augusta whatsoever but I honestly never knew Augusta had a skyline! Its actually a real good looking skyline I just never knew it was there since the only times ive come down there we just went to the Ice Rink. How tall are the buildings down there?
Beautiful!! Can't wait for ghof to be developed and the student housing! That is really going to add to the skyline.... Beautiful pic, thanks for the post.
