Our last day in Georgia started out by visiting Augusta. We were searching online for free things to do, and this River Walk thing came up pretty quick. Usually we don't have much planned, so without much hesitation, we decided to head to Augusta. As we rolled up, we were driving through the 'lesser developed' part of town.

But, there was one sweet building that was no longer in business (unfortunately): A white painted cinder block square building with 'Dance Party written in huge letters on the side. Man were we sad that wasn't still around. I guess we'd have to settle for River Walk.

The song for this video is "metropolitan" by Bert Jerred. You can download the entire Under The Stars album for free! Oh, and the other song is "eBay" by Weird Al. It's a single, and not available on any full length album.

Maybe it was the time of year, but this place did claim to sorta represent that of a rain forest. I know,
