An Indiana newspaperman founded a town in south Georgia for veterans of the Union army, thirty years after the war, and it filled up. The streets are named in alternating blocks for Union and Confederate generals. Burmese jungle fowl released nearby by the state in the 1960s failed as a game bird and succeeded as residents. Several hundred wild chickens now hold the downtown, and there is a festival.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
