People in southern Georgia, can you help me? -

While planning a road trip recently, I noticed that there are a pair of adjacent counties in Georgia named Coffee and Bacon. I was wondering if any of the nearby counties had ever considered changing their names to Eggs, Grits, and Biscuits to complete the breakfast menu. (Feel free to admit if you laughed.)On a marginally more serious note, are there any decent tourist attractions in these two counties? I m looking for historical sites, museums, or even things which will just make me wonder WTF was someone thinking? Thanks for taking the time to answer this question.

haha im from Georgia... First of All Coffee County was named after General John Coffee, who fought in the region s Indian wars and was a hero of the War of 1812. Historic Sites in Douglas include the Coffee County Bank, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Veterans Memorial and Museum. There is also a driving tour of the downtown historical district of Douglas.Second, Bacon County was named for Senator Augustus O. Bacon, a four-term U.S. Senator who died in office. Bacon County is in Alma, GA.... (click on this link for historical tourism and events ;)...(that was funny though)

you know, i don t have an answer for you, but you gave me a much needed laugh. a star for you.

things which will just make me wonder WTF was someone thinking? the names arent enough?
