i love rome. rome is like a second home to me. if i don’t have time to make a roadtrip to the coast or points other-where, a drive up to rome is a day’s worth of therapy for a half-tank of gasoline. i try to explain this to others, the way that this small north georgia town has a charm all of its own, but it has to be seen and felt firsthand. the acres of hiking on berry’s campus. the view from the battey mausoleum at myrtle hill. a really good pita bread sandwich at schroeder’s deli on broad street. maybe if there was some way to experience rome virtually.
unfortunately, the official virtual tour of rome is perhaps the most depressing spot i’ve found on the web in years. click on, and shudder in disbelief.
