On My Mind

''WHEN IT CoMEs To
SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY,
WE OWN IT."
A t Jameson Inn, we believe every guest deserves the finest hosp itality the South has to offer. We not only believe it, we guarantee it. Because we're d ifferent; we're not a franchise. All Jameson Inns have one owner and one operator. And that means only one standard . So every time your fam ily checks into a Jameson Inn, you can expect
your stay to be just as perfect as the last, no matter where you are in Georgia. In fact, if you're not completely satisfied with every aspect of your stay, you stay for free. From our fam ily to yours, that's a prom ise.

Familiar events are revisited, new stories are discovered, and the traveler's experience is made richer.

Looking for a covered bridge in G<..'Orgia? You might want to look quickly, because there arc only 14 remaining ofthe once 250 that graced the sate. And. increasingly these historic strucmres arc being dm.atcned due to increased costs of upkt.xp and new road development.
One bridge in metro Atla.nti., the Concord Cov~ crcd Bridge, n..-ccndywon a road battk that threatened ics existence. Locals v.tio live near the bridge rallied to have a new road rerouted to save the bridge, which w.;is built in 1872.
Georgia has always takcit pride in its cowrcd bridges,

bm interest seemed to be rtkindled with d1c popular book and movie Tiu: Brid.<,.s ,f Madison Cor,my. In fact, o ne of the state's most beautiful bridges is in Madison County- Watson Mill Bridge near Comer is the longest original-site covered bridge spanning 229 feet
