Where
to Retire Editor Annette Fuller said many relocating retirees choose
a destination with an energized, bustling heart. “The growing Main Street
movement has spurred hundreds of cities across the country to preserve,
renovate and reinvigorate their central hubs. They’ve become retro chic
gathering spots, with a host of independent shops and restaurants that
help fashion the locale’s personality. These eight featured cities, including
Dahlonega, have won the Great American Main Street Award in past years,
and they continue to attract new residents with their vibrant downtowns,”
Fuller said.
