Three Georgia main streets have been voted among 150 of America’s favorite Christmas shopping destinations.
These streets are Main St. in Blue Ridge, Main St. in Senoia; and Dahlonega Sq. in Dahlonega. These streets were chosen from a poll conducted by Present.com,, which surveyed 3,000 people.
The website notes that the expansion of online shopping and large malls on the outskirts of towns has led to significant decline in popularity of the traditional main street.
However, Present.com believes that these streets are still a valuable part of the shopping community and offer a unique shopping experience.
