A special stop on Highway 41



OK, this is important. About 1,000 feet east of Highway 41, on Vineville Avenue in Macon, Georgia, is the Allman Brothers Band Museum. (http://www.thebighousemuseum.com/)

It's the white gabled Tudor house in the StreetView below. Why is this important? Because in the band's famous hit, "Ramblin' Man", there is this lyric:

 "And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus / rollin' down Highway 41". 

Though Highway 41 goes from Miami to Lake Superior, it's a famous road in Georgia, as this demonstrates.



Also, where Highway 41 meets Vineville Avenue, though the Allman Brothers Band Museum is east (a right turn), Highway 41 goes west (left turn) on Vineville Avenue. There are other places of interest in Macon, like Mercer University and the Tubman Museum, but we're going to stay on the highway.
