Dahlonega looks like a set for a movie. There's the traditional town square. The old brick courthouse-like structure in the center of town. Brick and frame buildings dating from the mid-1800's. A horse and carriage circling the square. An old general store.
In fact, there are times when we are in Dahlonega that we actually feel like we're on a movie set. This was especially true during the Christmas season with lights threaded thru the trees on the square, twinkling lights hanging from old porches, and garlands and red ribbons draping doorways and windows. The Lifetime and Hallmark channels would love this town for this sappy Christmas movies.
Dahlonega just might become a real movie set, if the local Chamber's tourism director is right. According to him, several location scouts are scoping out Dahlonega and areas nearby for a couple of movies being filmed in Georgia this year. One of those movies stars is Robert DeNiro. Imagine Dahlonega staring in a DeNiro movie. It could happen!
