Hello from original city of Athens from Greece !!! Hello to Athens of America!! much much love !!

Athens was the first city I ever visited in America. This video really demonstrates why I choose to go there and why I loved so much.

Great Video! Not gonna lie, I shed a tear. Spent 3 years of my life in Athens and lived downtown for my senior year at UGA. Was the greatest time I ever had. Thanks for sharing!

Going there next year. Hope to have as good a time as you did brother

Home. For me Athens will always be home. A very special place indeed. Filled with very special people indeed. I hope to get back home day soon.......................I MISS YOU ATHENS..........

One of my favorite places on earth. The definitive southern college town. I miss it.

Well done. Very accurate representation of Athens artist, and music scenes. I was surprised that only a few bicycle riders were out and about.

Thanks, Russell!!! you did it great, as always... It's great to be part of the team!

I am from Athens(Greece):)

Dang mom.. Should have let me grew up for some time in my hometown , Its so beautiful..

Great video! I loved it. It definitely captured much of what Athens is.

Absolutely tremendous! Great film!

Just got home sick for the first time since moving to Oregon 8 years ago after watching this video. I miss this town.

This video makes me want to visit this place! Love it

This is absolutely fantastic. I am so happy this exists. This is something that will always exist for myself, and all the other alumni, to look back and remember where we came from. Thank you.

Studied biochemistry at UGA in 1989. I miss Athens, GA so much !!

Thank you for allowing me to revisit downtown athens while across the country!

Thank you so much for this video! I love Athens so much, and this is the most beautiful representation of the city I've seen!!

I sure do miss Athens I havn't been back in a couple of years. this really does remind me of the good old days I wish you'd had Rick SanMiguel too. it just isn't downtown without him... come to think of it I was also missing. but I sure am happy the GA theater is open again

Athens Is A Great Place To Live I Lived Here For Over 10 Years Its Great

My word! What a stunning visual. Way to capture the iconic Athenian performers. Such a treat to watch.

I decided to enroll at UGA in Athens this Fall and your video made me sure that it was the best decision ever !!! Thank you

Hi Michael, the song in the video is by Zack Hemsey, "Finding Home". If you're referring to the music scene downtown, it's definitely a melting pot. Some more info can be found here on the history via Brittanica www.britannica.com/place/Athens-Georgia

sure miss the place...

Excellent. Really brought me home. Im in New Jersey now but I can't wait to be home.

Hey that the family and friends drummer!

"Hey ive been there"

Great video! What editing program did you use? Do you recommend a particular intervalometer? I tried making a video earlier this semester, but couldn't get my camera to take more than a photo every 5 seconds using the computer software that came with my camera.

I booked a flight there accidentally. I meant to go to Athens Greece not georgia

The indie and alternative scene in Athens is world renowned.

2:46-2:48 "..and to your right, you'll see our local *Mr. Matt Groening* in what looks to be a *"Filk Circle".* Held of course at the lovely *Globe* .. SERIOUSLY, that man in red looks like Homer's daddy.

Thank you so much for making this little film, you definitely captured the great essence of our home brother. Also, super cool putting Michael the amazingly talented artist in there. He's my best friend's godfather. Kinda cool.

I've always wanted a bit city life, and Athens doesn't fulfill that for me, but we do live close to Atlanta, so..

Good video, however, some of the content could be better. The Georgia Theatre is not the only or best must venue in Athens. Perhaps you could have dropped the Sysco truck and included an other local venue.

Why has the name Athens????

There are 20 cities and suburbans in the US with that name, I think is because of the inspiration of birth of democracy. Good choice!! PS there is also the name Sparta in the US.

thrakiamaria Sparta Ga. It’s considered middle ga. Only 30 minutes away from Milledgeville Ga. we lived in Milledgeville for two years

too fast, can't see anything!

Disagree. The Sysco truck is just something ordinary, something real. If you drive downtown on any given day, you're likely to get stuck behind some massive truck unloading stuff. The video is just supposed to be a candid observation of downtown.
