Pictures of McCaysville, GA08-10-2007While home shopping for Jeannemarie's parents we came to the town of McCaysville which is right on the northern border of the state. We were quite supprised by the size of the town. It was quite large for being in the middle of the mountains and very busy. There were lots of well stocked antique and gift stores. The shopping there was quite lively. The river that passes through town changes name as it crosses the border between Georgia and Tennessee. In Tennessee it is called the Toccoa, but in Georgia, it is the Ocoee We didn't eat there, but I really like the way the building looked for the Iron Horse Grill. I think technically it was in Copper Hill, not McCaysville The main Drag through the Town seems to be Toccoa Street (South Ocoee Street on the Tennesee side). The street named "Main Street" was all on the Tennessee side and was not built up so much, and technically, it is in Copper Hill not McCaysville. For as far of the interstates as it is, we were suprized at how busy the town was. McCaysville is built on a river and has a couple of very nice looking bridges. Both of them are pedestrian friendly. A bunch of ducks were living in the river, too. So Jeannemarie, of course, fed them nearly a whole loaf of bread. In the restaurant we ate lunch in, there was a picture of the town completely flooded. So, apparently this river has a bit of a temper. McCaysville is situated along the Georgia/Tennessee border. The town is divided in two by a blue dotted line. On the Georgia side it is McCaysville, but the Tennesee side is called Copper Hill.
