[ComancheKid45]

Hey guys, Ill be heading south to Mcdonough, Ga from December 1st-19th for Phase 1 training for Norfolk Southern. Just wondering if anyone knows the area and anything that may be fun to check out while I'm down there. I know Pete is around there somewhere. lol

Summit Racing is in McDonough. Exit 174 off of I75 if my memory holds correcty.

Jailhouse Brewing is in Hampton, which is pretty close to McDonough. They have some really good beers and they give tours with tastings.

You will only be about 30 minutes away from Phillips Arena, so you can go watch the Hawks lose one night.  :yes:

I know it well, had a GF there one exit from the Summit.  Word to the wise, plan extra time into your travels.  I75 gets backed up often.

I visit area frequently, so here goes:

Pasta Max in downtown McD-- great Italian food and you can't eat it all. not cheap but mid price.

Indian Wells State Park-- real hot springs you can enjoy-- President Roosevelt spent lots of time there, not $.

3 dollar café - 1 mile east of 75 at exit 218. good sportsbar

OB's Barbecue- between exit 218 and 216 on east frontage road of 75.

Tres Peso- next door to OB's- great margaritas and homemade food

 

There's a Walmart at exit 218 near Ruby Tuesday and cracker barrel.

Summit is east of 75 at exit 216. Snapper is west.

 

I usually stay at Hilton Garden at 218, friendly staff and free drinks

Lots of stores on east and west side(yes Starbucks) and of course Chick fila.

Georgia state penitentiary at exit 201

Tanger outlet mall at about 209, Liquor store at exit 212 east side.

 

You'll have fun, and eat/drink well nearby.

Oh yeah: RT 75 SOUTH AND NORTH BETWEEN EXIT 231 AND 201 IS A SPEED TRAP. DO ONLY 5 OVER AS MAX. Unless you can follow a tractor/trailer with CB.
