The Water Tower - Ideal Georgia Art Print by Mark Tisdale.
This Ideal Georgia art print features the water tower on the corner of Hoke Smith Avenue and Brooks Road. For anyone who has been to "The Only Ideal City in Georgia," this will likely be a familiar sight. And it's true, Georgia only has one city named Ideal, nestled in rural Macon County.
Ideal came into being as a railroad town. Legend has it that it was originally called Joetown. But when two railroad executives visited one said it was an "ideal" place for a depot and the name Ideal stuck. The town of Ideal was incorporated in 1907.
Ideal is a small town but as the water tower depicted here suggests there's a well of local pride in that place. I suspect if you've found this Ideal Georgia art print, you've probably called Ideal home at some point or still do? I'd love to hear what this artwork means to you?
