Pemberton in Atlanta in 1886 and first sold at an Atlanta pharmacy soda fountain - Georgia is the nation's number one producer of these three Ps--peanuts, pecans, and of course, peaches - The mysterious Booger Hill pulls cars up, defying gravity and spooking passengers - The International Poultry Trade Show is held in Georgia each year, and in the town of Gainesville, the Chicken Capital of the World, it is illegal to eat chicken with a fork - The theme park Six Flags Over Georgia got its name from the six different flags that have flown over the state during its history - President Franklin D. Roosevelt stayed at a cottage, later called the "Little White House," in Warm Springs while recuperating from polio - The Georgia Guidestones, in Elbert County, are sometimes referred to as America's Stonehenge; 10 principles engraved on the stones in eight languages are meant to be guidelines to an "age of reason" - Wesleyan College in Macon was founded in 1836 as the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women.
