A city's main street can be the community's most important hub for business and local entertainment. So whose is the best?
Assisted Living Magazine surveyed more than 3,000 people to determine the top 100 main streets across the U.S. and to be clear, these streets are worth visiting whether you're in assisted living or not.
Where is the best main street in Georgia?
Only two Georgia main streets made the list: East Main Street in Blue Ridge and Main Street in Dahlonega (which is technically East and West Main Streets when looking at a map).
While the Assisted Living writers didn't go into extensive detail, they did call Dahlonega an "inland gem" and said people love to walk on streets like this where there's character, not just coastline like some in Florida or California.
They also said those in Georgia and other parts of the South scored high for warmth, street life, and sensory overload.
