About This Guide
The Flagpole Guide To Athens is designed for three people: the visitor to Athens, the newcomer recently moved to Athens and the longtime Athens resident. The Guide is chockfull of useful information for those who just got here and for those who won't leave but enjoy a constant reminder of all there is in Athens to see and do, to eat and drink, to share and enjoy. You can grab up a Guide, when you need one, at over 300 locations in Athens and the surrounding area. Once you get into the habit of letting the Guide guide you around, you'll want to keep one in your backpack, briefcase or glove compartment - your own copy with your own underlinings and notes. If you lose it or wear it out, you can always get another Guide because we keep them replenished all year so that they're always available. The Guide is also online at www.flagpole.com for an anytime digital fix on what to do and where to go.
The Flagpole Guide To Athens gives you the overview. For best effect, use it with Flagpole Magazine, the newsweekly that lists and explains what's happening each week of the year. Flagpole is a journal of music, the arts, politics, movies, theatre and all the myriad happenings filling any given week in Athens, GA. Like the Guide, Flagpole is distributed free (and at flagpole.com) to over 300 locations in and around Athens. Together, Flagpole and the Flagpole Guide To Athens make the perfect companions for those who want to know their way around the Classic City.
