An absolute must-stop if you're in downtown Macon! If you've never heard of Otis Redding, do yourself a favor and queue up "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," "These Arms of Mine," or "Satisfaction" and just feel that soul. Otis was the voice of a generation--smooth, powerful, and heartbreakingly timeless. Otis Redding embodied the spirit of a legendary musical era rooted in Macon--a time of raw soul, grit, and unforgettable sound. His influence on music is undeniable, and this museum is a heartfelt tribute to a life and legacy gone too soon. At just 26, Otis had already made a lasting mark as a gifted vocalist, songwriter, and relentless dream-chaser. The museum gives you a glimpse into that magic: family photos, memorabilia, music, and stories that bring him back to life in the most touching way. It doesn't take long to walk through, but the experience stays with you. And if you're lucky, you might just meet his wife or grandson--still actively involved in keeping his legacy alive. His family's connection to the community is just as moving as the music itself. Don't miss it. Totally worth the detour--and then some. read more

I'm finally back in Macon after 10 years and now have a new store to visit for my essentials. They have a $15 deal that gives you a few fresh produce plus several other items to halfway fill up the cart - then you get to pick 10 for $10 of other select items. Lots of items that I can eat, not just junk food. Then the rest of the store is full of Dollar General items that are half of the retail cost! WOW

I had 10 minutes to spare today so I dropped in and found they had a great sale going on: all blue and white tags were buy 1 get 2 free. I got 3 shirts for $2. WOW. On top of that I found a pair of high top Converse for only $.99, and any true Chuck fan would know that's a SUPER deal. I also got 4 books (all @ $.50 a piece) and a nice beer mug for $.69. The location may seem a little shady (it's on Broadway for goodness' sake) but let that not deter the true treasure hunter!

Since June 14, 1905 the Masonic Home of Georgia has served over 2100 children in need from the State of Georgia. The Home is located on 650 acres in Macon, "the Heart of Georgia." This ideal location makes it easily accessible to all of Georgia. The Home is a non-profit organization that is funded by the Mason's of Georgia. Presently in Georgia there are 433 lodges with over 47,000 members. The Home is a residential child care facility that provides basic care to children in need.

A huge disappointment is how I would describe Meals on Wheels of Middle Georgia. After several…read moreweeks of receiving five frozen meals each Monday, my relative ended up getting a box of canned goods this past Monday, which was supposed to last a week. That was a joke. I called to find out what happened and was told the frozen meals were no longer available. I said I wanted to discontinue the service. I received a call back from Meals on Wheels, saying they had found some frozen meals and get them out to my relative's home that day. It never happened. I called twice and left messages to find out what was going on. I have yet to receive a call back. Zero customer service. Done with them.

The housing is being worked on, and they have started planning renovations to additional buildings that were not up to code for a long time. There is a very bright future for these young adults. There is talk of a transitional housing program for the young women who leave the grounds when they reach a certain age, so that they have a better rate of successfully transitioning to independent living. There was also an addition of a part time teacher on site to help get the students back on track, as some have trouble in the Bibb County School System (not surprising). I am very excited about the new ideas and hope that Macon will re-discover this program with positive, productive, and respectful opinions.
