Flat Joe visits Macon, Georgia

Hi, Ms. Lipsky’s class!

Yesterday, Flat Joe and I went to Macon, Georgia! Macon is actually not too far from Gainesville, about a four-hour drive. Flat Joe and I both really wanted to come down to visit you all, but we didn’t have time in our schedule, sorry!

Macon is a great town, and the weather was beautiful! Unfortunately, I was sick during this trip, but Flat Joe made me take him around the town, at least a little bit. We saw their cool downtown area, and Macon City Hall. City Hall is where the town or city takes care of all the work that goes in to running itself. Every city has one, but Macon’s is an especially nice building. Do you know where the Gainesville City Hall is? Can you name some of the work that gets taken care of at a City Hall?

After a while, I had to go drink a lot of orange juice and take a nap, because that is the best way to make yourself feel better when you are sick. While I was sleeping, Flat Joe got into some mischief—he took my walkie-talkie and started calling people on it! Flat Joe can be so silly sometimes.

Even though I was sick, Flat Joe and I still had a good time in Macon. You should visit it sometime too!

Best wishes,

Joe and Flat Joe
