New Book Features Georgetown, S.C. Among Southeast's Best Small Towns

Situated in the southern part of the Grand Strand, Georgetown, S.C. has many amenities often taken for granted in larger cities, mixed with a charm and hospitality that is often absent from those cities. Gerald Sweitzer and Kathy Fields, authors of The 50 Best Small Southern Towns, 2nd Ed. (Peachtree Publishers, Oct. 2007), wholeheartedly agree.

Six years ago, Sweitzer and Fields set out to produce a guide that provided detailed information on the best places to find an alternative to the bustle of city living. They thoroughly researched and visited 150 Southeastern towns and selected Georgetown for inclusion in this definitive guide.

The second edition of The 50 Best Small Southern Towns is an updated reference guide for each of the 50 cities in nine Southeastern states that were represented in the first edition of this book. The guide takes into account overall increases in the cost of living, recent changes in the housing market, and the effects of Hurricane Katrina on one coastal town in Mississippi.

As in the first edition, Georgetown met stringent criteria regarding environment, recreation, culture, economics, health care and education. The guide captures important aspects of Georgetown such as its rivers and water-related recreation, as well as some of its best-kept secrets like its art galleries and restaurants.
