If it's Wednesday, it must be market conditions Wednesday and time for another market report. This week, we are back to the beginning of the Alphabet. The focus today is on the city of ACWORTH, GA.
Acworth is a city located predominantly in Cobb County, GA but also holds the distinction of overlapping into three other counties -- Cherokee, Paulding and Bartow Counties. As of the 2010 census, the city had a populations of 20,425. Acworth is located in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains along the southeastern banks of Lake Acworth and Lake Allatoona on the Etowah River.
The city of Acworth, couldn't be cuter with trendy shops, fine dining and a totally revitalized downtown area, the city of Acworth has had a welcomed face-lift during the last few years. Acworth is steeped in history too. In November 1864, during the American Civil War, the city was burned down by the army of General W.T. Sherman, sparing only a few homes. The city was called "Little Shanty" by the Union troops to contrast it with the next town south, "Big Shanty", since renamed Kennesaw. Today, the Kennesaw Battlefield National Park is a tourist attraction as well as a very popular hiking and biking area for residents and visitors.
In 2011, the filming of several scenes for the new Footloose remake took place in downtown Acworth. The Acworth Presbyterian Church was used as the primary church, and the house of Mayor, Tommy Allegood was used as Julianne Hough's character's home. You know. The same Julianne Hough of Dancing With The Star's fame.
