Rome....

....Georgia, where the Capitoline Wolf feeds,
Romulus and Remus fill their needs,
the statue a gift from Mussolini in nineteen twenty-nine.
It looks kind of out of place, but this town is fine.

This was cotton country many years ago,
before the boll weevil came and stole the show,
now auto parts and tires provide a jobs here,
to the city with seven hills and three rivers, give a cheer.

Lawrenceville....

....Georgia, named for a Naval hero from some time ago,
Captain James Lawrence, is the one we know;
his famous quote "don't give up the ship",
is one sailors learn in boot camp, it's still hip.

Up in middle Georgia with a historic downtown,
Lawrenceville has plenty, there will be no need to frown,
from the Tibble Mill Park, pictured up above,
there are many things in Lawrenceville, you are sure to love.

Top: Tibble Mill Park, looks nice.
Middle: Downtown Lawrenceville.
Bottom: Gwinnett County Courthouse, in the center of town.

Macon...

...Georgia, home town of the kazoo,
and a lot more important things that are good for you,
music is important, there's a list with many names,
from the Allman Brothers to P. Diddy, and Little Richard, all have fames.

And the cherry blossom festival gets the town in gear,
and other fairs and festivals continue all the year.
Robbins Air Force Base is the major source of jobs,
and there are seven colleges to increase the odds.

Top:  The skyline at night.
Middle: The one and only Little Richard.
Bottom: Cherry Blossoms line a street, nice.

Albany....

....Georgia, hometown of Mr. Ray Charles, this time,
who could have imagined "...moonlight through the pine",
that in itself is reason to visit this city and view..
..just what's here to see, taste, and go to for you.

There's a huge base of the logistical sort,
not open to visitors, it's not a resort;
it's a major center for the U S Marine Corp,
supplies and repairs, imagine the roar.

Top:  Ray Charles statue in front of the Ray Charles Auditorium, it sit's on top of a fountain.
Middle: A 'tow truck for tanks' being overhauled at the USMC logistics base.
Bottom: The Lincoln Oak, I believe it's gone now, this photo from the 1950's. It's not trimmed that way!

Valdosta...

...Georgia, home to the first ATM machine,
one of the states famous cities, the first we've seen;
also know for turpentine and lumber at prices that vary,
and Wild Adventures Park, with rides that are downright scary!

Long history here in cotton, which used to be king,
until the boll weevil came in and did it's thing.
Now pine trees cover much of the land,
in a tradition that was carefully planned.

Top:  Roller Coaster at the Wild Adventures Park.
Middle: The County Courthouse, sits in the center of town.
Bottom:  The approach in autumn.
