What's up, guys? Kavars Dawson here. Today I want to talk about downtown Monroe, Georgia. Man, downtown has changed so much since I was growing up there. It didn't used to be a lot. It was a very, like, old type of style. But, like, it's evolved a lot. They've grown, gotten murals, lights, monuments, you know, different food places, restaurants. A lot of local businesses are in that area. But when I was growing up, all the kids after school, we all went and hung out downtown. There was an ice cream shop called Scoops. There's a candle shop, like, what's it called, Knickknacks. Like, you know, the antiques, stuff like that. There's a lot of that around there. And it's just — it's a great area to, like, just go explore, go take pictures. Like, if I was to point someone to a place, it would definitely be the Scoops, the ice cream place. Like, that's my favorite ice cream in the world.
