Sometimes there is nothing better than taking a welcomed trip down memory lane. It can help you relive certain moments in time that you have forgotten, or perhaps it stimulates nostalgia and brings back fond feelings of a fun decade. We love looking at old photos of Georgia, no matter the decade. It’s nice to see how far things have come, and also appreciate the way things once were. Have a look at these photos of Georgia in the 1960s and prepare to be mesmerized:
