Things to Do in Athens Georgia: REM Locations, Breweries, & More (Travel Guide)

We are in Athens, Georgia with our friends Jordan and Chelsea Ghastly, taking in the sights, eating the delightful foods, and drinking the delicious beers this cool college town has to offer. We stop at some of the legendery REM locations like the Murmur trestle and Wuxtry Records, do a little shopping in downtown Athens, visit the Athens City Hall, and have an overall fun time with our friends.

    I’m going to Athens in October for a UGA-Arkansas game (I’m an Arkansas fan). But my mom was a die hard R.E.M. fan. She died in 2017 and I’ve developed a very personal relationship with their music. In February I had a line from Losing My Religion tattooed on my arm as a tribute to her. Thanks for this video!

    Loving these adventures, thanks for sharing. I really hope you guys make it over the the UK one day. I think you'd like my hometown Manchester. Lots of local music history and scenes,. The Northern Quarter, in the city centre, has lots of great bars serving hot food and cold beer. All the best to you on your travels.
