Normaltown, Athens, GA
As a B-52’s fan, a must on my list of places to stop on our trip through Georgia was Athens. I didn’t know much about Athens aside from some local references from their songs. Since Deadbeat Club has the most references, I decided to direct our GPS to Normaltown and blast the song!
Although Allen’s closed in 2011, we took a drive around town and found Automatic Pizza, a pizza place that looked like an old gas station (and probably was at one point). It was perfect for our road trip theme and we were ready for lunch so we parked and walked in to order pizza. It almost reminded us of pizzerias from back home (though, no pizza can compare to the NJ/NYC area) and the pizza hit the spot. I think I would go back again the next time I visit Normaltown (and yes, there will be a next time) and I was glad to get some photos of the outside!
