Are you looking for a nice little romantic getaway, or how about a really nice place to spend the day with your kids?

Warm Springs Georgia may be just the spot for you. I almost missed this crown jewel. I was recently driving out South of Atlanta Ga. and decided to go visit the Franklin D. Roosevelt Little White House that is located in Warm Springs.

I drove through the small town of Warm Springs, and decided to just grab a quick lunch in town before getting to the Little White House.

I parked my car, got out, and just happened to notice a small alleyway with a sign that said entrance to courtyard. I was swept away at all the small shops, and small hip patio restaurant that were all compacted in this one little area. The courtyard had a small cozy feel with a garden look, and you felt almost like you were in a small maze of quaint shops and cozy little diners.

There were museums that housed old Harley Davidson motorcycles, Old Indian motorcycles, Americana antiques and collectibles such as old jukeboxes, radios, and well you name it, it was there. If you have interest in anything old especially Americana type items, you have to see visit this place. And, if you’re a motorcycle enthusiast, especially old Harley and Indian motorcycles, I’m not sure you will find such a huge collection anywhere in one spot.

It takes a lot of really cool eye candy to keep my attention very long, and an environment has to be very intriguing to keep me in any one spot for any length of time, but once I got here, I was stuck for over four hours in shear amazement.

The restaurant choices here are excellent. I was not real hungry, so I was not looking for a gourmet break the wallet meal. That was one really nice thing here, is that there were a handful of really neat little cozy patio style restaurants serving anything from dirt cheap hot dogs with a can coke, to excellent BBQ, to steak. I had a great lunch meal in a very cool restaurant with walls lined with old American memorabilia for less than five bucks.

After finally leaving the small town, and continuing to my destination at Franklin D Roosevelt’s Little White House, I pulled back into town to enjoy an excellent BBQ dinner before returning home.

The BBQ restaurant does close early, like around six, but if you walk behind the BBQ restaurant, there is Mack’s Steak House, and the same people at Mack’s owns the BBQ restaurant, so you can still get this fabulous BBQ after hours.

So if you find yourself ever driving through the main street in Warm Springs, Ga., remember to park, and walk behind the main storefront area, and see all the treasures this little Southern town has to offer.

You owe it to yourself to visit, and plan on spending a full day. There are tons of very unique items for purchase, and if you love hunting for that perfect treasure, you just may find it here.
