Loved spotting Oak House Distillery and Speakeasy in Food & Wine!

When Georgia gained statehood in the 1700s, individual colonists drank an estimated four gallons of rum a year. A 30-year ban on alcohol later made it difficult to distill spirits, but now, the Peach State is experiencing a rum renaissance.

How many of Athens' famous bulldog statues have you found? These colorful bulldogs were originally installed around town by the Athens-Oconee Junior Women's Club as a public art exhibit: "We Let the Dawgs Out." Though they've since been auctioned off to various owners, you can still find most of them displayed throughout town. Let us know in the comments which Athens bulldog is your fav!
