A Sunday drive took us to Toccoa GA today, the county seat of Stephens County with a 2000 census population of 9,300. We saw a lot of empty store fronts and other indications of urban blight.
The Old Courthouse on the square was an impressive building. It looked like it was in the middle of a complete rehab job. The photo shows how impresive this building really is.
We had no way of knowing what they plan to do with this building. It hasn’t been usede as a court fora number of years, as there is a new court facility across the street. Before the rehab project, the building was used for county office space.
There is a water falls near the town, called Toccoa Falls. They claim it is 10 feet taller than Niagara Falls, but the volume of water must be an infinitismal amount, compared toi Niagara Falls.
There is also a college in Toccoa. Many towns in northeast Georgia have a Christian (Baptist) college .
