Loganville
Skip unless you have family or business in the area. A half-day stop on the way to Athens or Augusta: walk Main Street, eat at Journey's End, then move on.
Loganville is a small town 50 km east of Atlanta, growing fast but still a bedroom community. It has a few local restaurants and a botanical garden, but no major sights. Most travellers pass through on US 78 without stopping.
