Not a surprise. Most in the states think of Atlanta and next Savannah.

Those two cities are also the most interesting, by a mile.

Not if you ask people from overseas about Georgia. Impossible to be curious about Savannah when you didn't know it existed.

The Masters, MCG, James Brown, etc has created a larger international recognition for Augusta.

Debatable but even if true, it wouldn't mean they think Augusta is among the two most interesting cities in the state. They simply wouldn't have enough information to make that assessment.

Savannah is more popular within the USA. Read my OP.. Also, I could say Savannah gets more visitors, yet its metro is smaller. I could add Savannah receives more visitors, but its less know worldwide. Foreigners come visit or work in our Medical District routinely.

How is it debatable? James Brown is an icon. The Master's is the super bowl of golf. People in China are even very familiar with Augusta.

Nothing in Savannah has reached people in China like the Master's or James Brown.

Nortie, Savannah is more popular outside the U.S., too. I read visitors' blogs in French and German and Spanish, and Charleston and Savannah are well represented. They're also covered in the media regularly. Augusta isn't.

Augusta is known for the Master's, PERIOD: that's two weeks a year. It gets no real visitors otherwise. As for James Brown, his Augusta roots are not well known. Neither are Jessye Norman's, and she's an Augustan. And who cares if Ray Charles is from Albany? Look at all the artists from Macon (Little Richard, Otis R., the Allman Bros., etc.) -- no other GA 2nd-tier city can equal them. Few U.S. singers or actors are linked to their place of origin. Elvis is, and a few of the biggest Motown stars. James Brown? Nah.

People in China may know about the Masters and Augusta National Golf Club, but they know nothing about (and care nothing about) the city of Augusta.

Savannah, on the other hand, is firmly established as one of the top 10 most popular cities in North America, and according to some surveys among the 10 greatest cities in the world.

Charleston, Savannah named in top 10 cities around the world

To me & from my days livin there in mid 80s it IS & WAS the sleeper city down south.

This comes from the gut & is my feelings. I realy miss those days, even if my now ex wife & I (she was Army supply @ Ft Gordon) didn't get along then.

The other ladies I met in GA were oh so hospitable. Man, o man were they (even the married ones I met, ahem...)!
