Hi Everyone. Today, we are going to Statesboro, Georgia.
Statesboro is the largest city and the county seat of Bulloch County,
Georgia, United States. It has an estimated 2012 population of 29,779.
A college town, Statesboro is best known as the home of Georgia
Southern University, a Carnegie Doctoral-Research University.
The city has a total area of 12.6 square miles. Statesboro is in the
coastal plain region, or Low Country, of Georgia, so it is mainly flat
with a few small hills. With an elevation of 250 feet, the downtown
area is one of the highest places in Bulloch County. Pine, oak,
magnolia, dogwood, palm, sweetgum, and a variety of other trees can be
found in the area.
Statesboro has a humid subtropical climate. The city experiences very hot
and humid summers with average July highs of about 91 degrees and lows
around 70. Afternoon thunderstorms associated with the summer heat and
humidity can spawn from time to time. Winters are mild with average
January highs of 58 degrees and lows of 36 degrees. Winter storms are
rare, but they can happen on occasion. The last of these was an ice
storm that hit in January 2011. About 2 inches of snow fell on the
city during the evening of February 12, 2010.
The culture of Statesboro reflects a blend of both its southern heritage
and college town identity. The city has developed a unique culture,
common in many college towns, that coexists with the university
students in creating an art scene, music scene and intellectual
environment. Statesboro is home to numerous restaurants, bars, live
music venues, bookstores and coffee shops that cater to its creative
college town climate.
Statesboro's downtown was named one of eight "Renaissance Cities" by
Georgia Trend Magazine. The downtown area is currently undergoing a
revitalization. Downtown Statesboro has been featured in several
motion pictures including Now and Then (1995) as well as 1969.
Statesboro offers a variety of cultural options available both for the
university and the wider community: the Georgia Southern Symphony, the
Georgia Southern Planetarium, Georgia Southern Museum, and the
Botanical Gardens at Bland Cottage. Touring groups appear at the
Performing Arts Center, and also featured are shows put on by Georgia
Southern students and faculty. Mill Creek Regional Park is a large
outdoor recreational facility with athletic fields and a water park,
Splash in the Boro.
I hope you enjoy this visit to Statesboro, Georgia.
