Hokie Road Trip 2021, Part 2: Atlanta, GA

Related Topics: Atlanta, Georgia, Morgantown, Lynchburg

It feels so long since part one of this series in Morgantown but given that our schedule is very backloaded with road games, you’ll be seeing a lot more of these before season’s end.

My dad’s side of the family has roots in Jackson, GA, a small town about halfway between Atlanta and Macon. (They film “Stranger Things” there, in case you were wondering.) I had never dug into my Georgia family history before, but I’d be surprised if I didn’t have close relatives in or around the town today, and even more shocked if I didn’t have a ton of family in the Atlanta metro.
