The following are some scenes in Jasper Georgia. We call Jasper the First Mountain city as it is at the base of the Appalachian mountains. This is small town America. It is only 50 miles from Atlanta and there is beauty, tradition, and a cosmopolitan flavor to it all .Every town has a feed store for either horse cattle or other livestockHave lievstock ?

                    Wyyz Jasper is the local radio station. They play a mix of country , rock and on the weekends gospel. Inside is a piano and a microphone. You get the feeling that the movie "Oh Brother Where Art thou could have easily been filmed hereLocal Radio station    

Even as summer ends the fields are still green and this is a shot of the rolling hills all around our mountains

local fields 

Because this area of the country is the Marble capital of the US many of the building are done in Marble. This is

the county court house

The sign below speaks to a deep rooted religious tradition
