Living in Macon, GA

Macon sits along the Ocmulgee River in central Georgia and carries a deep musical legacy—Otis Redding and Little Richard both called it home. Cherry blossom-lined streets bloom each spring, and the historic downtown offers antebellum architecture and a growing food scene for nurses exploring a slower-paced Southern city.
