Where Was ‘Ozark’ Filmed? The Georgia Lakes and Towns That Played Missouri

The Byrdes spent four seasons washing cartel money on a Missouri lake that, almost every time you saw it, was sitting in Georgia. Georgia is the answer to where was Ozark filmed, specifically two reservoirs north of Atlanta, Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier, plus a string of metro Atlanta diners, parks and one very old drive-in. Netflix’s own Tudum travel guide concedes that Ozark was not shot in the Ozarks and that most of the real filming happened in Georgia, and KOMU in Columbia, Missouri, reported that only a few establishing shots came from the actual Lake of the Ozarks.

New ‘Heart of Rome’ mural celebrates community, inclusivity along ECO Greenway

What was once a graffiti-covered concrete wall along one of Rome’s busiest trails has been transformed into a 192-foot piece of public art celebrating the people, places and traditions that make the city unique. The new “Heart of Rome” mural, located along the AdventHealth ECO Greenway beside the Fifth Avenue Bridge, features a large heart filled with symbols representing Rome’s history, natural beauty, education and community. The blue-and-white artwork was created by local artist Renee Peterson through a collaboration involving Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful, TRED of Rome Floyd County and AdventHealth Redmond. Hannah Bagley, program coordinator for Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful, said the goal was to create something that represented more than the city’s landmarks. “We wanted to highlight what special things are between the rivers, and that is so much more than just a place,” Bagley said. “It’s the people and those who have built all these amazing things.” Bagley said she and Julie Smith, the city of Rome’s trails and transportation planner and a TRED board member, had discussed creating a mural for approximately two years. The wall, which is part of the area’s historic levee system, had remained largely bare and had accumulated graffiti over the years. Both frequently
