A groundbreaking ceremony included Walmart executives, local elected officials, and others at the site was dedicated in Franklin County near the I-85 corridor.

Bluff Oak (Quercus austrina)

Back to the plant listNative Plant List for Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Quercus austrina, the Bluff Oak (also called bastard white oak), is a medium-sized deciduous tree endemic to the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States. It is a true member of the white oak group, and like its famous cousin it has rounded, bristle-free leaf lobes and acorns that mature in a single season. Despite that family resemblance, bluff oak has a narrow, specific habitat requirement that keeps it uncommon almost everywhere it grows: rich, well-drained soil on river bluffs, natural levees, and calcareous or shell-influenced ground.

This Holiday Season, Skip The Turkey And Try This Georgia Smoked Steak

A filet mignon kissed by pecan wood smoke sits on the menu inside a building that dates back to 1895. That’s a holiday dinner idea I can get behind.

After fire destroys Billy's Clubhouse in Macon, regulars and business owners reflect

On Monday night, the parking lot of 20’s Pub in Macon was filled with more cars than usual. Inside, a few more barstools were occupied than on your typical weeknight. The bar on Riverside Drive was still serving its ordinary patrons, but there were some additional drinkers in the crowd. They were there to mourn the loss of one of their favorite local watering holes — a spot just five minutes up the road owned by the same folks that run 20’s Pub. Billy’s Clubhouse, located on Forest Hill Road just off Northside Drive, was destroyed early Sunday morning in a fire that also razed other businesses in a shopping plaza. The cause of the inferno was unclear as of Monday evening, as was the bar’s future. But regulars from Billy’s Clubhouse made their way to 20’s Pub instead, using the sort of sister location as a de facto headquarters to imbibe and remember the spot on Northside Drive. “When you look at the parking lot tonight, it is nothing but packed and it’s double the size, but when you walk in, it’s all Billy’s people,” said Danielle Bone, a regular at both Billy’s Clubhouse and 20’s Pub.
