- Early afternoon drive through the heart of downtown Augusta, Georgia. The Ironman 70.3 Augusta event definitely brought a lot of people to the area.
"Augusta, officially Augusta-Richmond County, is a consolidated city-county on the central eastern border of the U.S. state of Georgia. The city lies across the Savannah River from South Carolina at the head of its navigable portion. Georgia's third-largest after Atlanta and Columbus, Augusta is located in the Fall Line section of the state.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Augusta-Richmond County had a 2019 estimated population of 197,888, not counting the unconsolidated cities of Blythe and Hephzibah. It is the 116th largest city in the United States. The process of consolidation between the City of Augusta and Richmond County began with a 1995 referendum in the two jurisdictions. The merger was completed on July 1, 1996. Augusta is the principal city of the Augusta metropolitan area. In 2017 it had an estimated population of 600,151, making it the second-largest metro area in the state. It is the 93rd largest metropolitan area in the United States.
Augusta was established in 1736 and is named in honor of Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha (1719-1772), the bride of Frederick, Prince of Wales and the mother of the British monarch George III. During the American Civil War, Augusta housed the principal Confederate powder works. Augusta's warm climate made it a major resort town of the Eastern United States in the early and mid-20th century. Internationally, Augusta is best known for hosting The Masters golf tournament each spring. The Masters brings over 200,000 visitors from across the world to the Augusta National Golf Club. Membership at Augusta National is widely considered to be the most exclusive in the sport of golf across the world.
Augusta lies approximately two hours east of downtown Atlanta by car via I-20. The city is home to Fort Gordon, a major U.S. Army base. In 2016, it was announced that the new National Cyber Security Headquarters would be based in Augusta." Source: en.wikipedia.o...
I love downtown Augusta!!! Great restaurants, cool antique stores, and the Arts community is an important part of our city. I love that you can get to the beach in 2 hours, the mountains in 2 hours, or Atlanta in 2 hours. Nice place to live.
I totally agree!
As for me that live in augusta pretty much my whole life never thought about that lol
Those 2 hour destinations are not that exciting places to visit
Greenville sc is better lol
beach is not 2 hours away unless your doing 95MPH..lol nor is the mountains, 3 to 5 yes.
Great video. I grew up in Augusta but haven't lived there in years. I love seeing videos positively reflecting such a great city with so much potential!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol there’s nothing to see that’s why republicans are so desperate to end abortion because places like Augusta are becoming ghosts towns
This was where I grew up many years ago. Good memories here. I live across the bridge in Sc now. Have for 54 years. I’m old. Lol
Hello faye
There’s nothing there and no other generations to replace the old people in 20 years it will be a ghost town
Great bands originated there.
You are correct.
Great job. Keep up the good work.
Very beautiful.
It doesn’t look very populated for early afternoon. Also very few tall buildings. This could be its charm. Would love to visit.
Nice video. Augusta looks cool. Do Greensboro and Durham NC next
Love the parking setup
Lol is that the most important thing if so that’s a problem
God bless🙏💐💐💐💐💐🙏... USA🇺🇸
under the tall white building on the right 5:43 , there is abandoned mall
That is definitely a nice busy city
Yes it was
Lol there’s nothing there
The building on the left at 6:37 was once a haunted house during Halloween, the building got condemned
If the population isn’t revised if will be a ghost town in 15 to 20 years
That highway was a loooong time between exits 😳
VERY NICE
home
Wow
Im at the Augusta County Club rn lol
I’m sorry but I couldn’t see a darn thing except trees and road
Augusta reminds me of Flint Michigan in a lot of ways
That isn’t great
Yes very similar. Both depressing nasty places
Most American cities have declined especially in the Midwest and south. Visited St. Louis. It’s basically a ghost town. A lot of downtowns were vibrant but people moved out into the suburbs or other growing suburbs like In Phoenix, etc…
not even close
@@nbreese73 southeast cities are doing fine Particularly the mega hub ATL, Charlotte is doing just fine Also. Seattle and quite a bit of Cali cities are turning into lawless apocalyptic wasteland and homeless encampments
8:49 The road curves right here, but you drove straight across the lane because you wanted to go straight, yet you could have driven straight without the illegal lane change.
Just like a native Augustan.
