Many college towns don’t seem to have much going on outside of the school, but Athens is rich in Antebellum history and has a music scene that famously supported bands R.E.M. and the B-52s.
It’s also developing a well-known restaurant scene, particularly with Chef Hugh Acheson’s restaurants The National and Five and Ten. The image above is a railroad trestle featured in R.E.M.’s album cover for Murmur.
