Located in near Macon, GA at Elliot Machine Shop off of Level Acres Dr and Roderick Rd. This siren is one of old sirens left in Bibb County, GA. The county had a lot of old sirens (Thunderbolts, Thunderbeams/RSH-10s, and other). Now most old sirens are replaced. There are 3 old sirens left and active in the county (this siren, Thunderbeam/RSH-10, and a Fedelcode Model 5). Also, if you are wondering if the 3 old sirens will be replaced. No, it will mostly will not get replaced anytime soon. I will try to tell my cousin to record this siren. This siren is controlled by Bibb County Emergency Management and tested at the forth Wednesday of each month at 11:00AM (weather pending).

*Photo taken back June 2016 during I was siren hunting.* This photo is one of the last pics from the siren hunt in GA. Anyway, this is located in Dry Branch (near Macon), Georgia at Georgia Forestry Commission. This siren was refurbished and installed by Jeb and Ian in 2015. This siren is owned by Georgia Forestry Commission. But this siren is controlled by Bibb County Emergency Management. This siren is tested at the last Wednesday of every month at 11:00 AM ET (weather permitting).

Finally got a chance tonight to try out the different settings in my camera for nighttime and snow scenes.
Looking out at the back yard, I didn't realize it was actually still snowing until my flash went off and I looked in the view finder.
**For those of you who get snow all the time, my apologies. We hardly EVER get snow, so for us in the South it is a big deal.

This building is located in Macon, Georgia. Not exactly typical architecture found in the Old South.
Sorry about this photo is blurry. :/ I didn't even know that this photo is blurry when I taken that photo. I didn't take a bar to use for my camera because I thought I was gonna get photos of other siren boxes. Instead that I got photos of more sirens.
Located near Macon, GA at Beaver Oaks subdivision. This siren is controlled by Bibb County Emergency Management and tested at the 4th Wednesday of each month at 11:00am EST (pending on the weather conditions).

This is St. Joseph's Catholic Church located in Macon, Georgia. The twin towers are said to be the tallest in Macon, with a height of 200 feet. The church has 60 stain glass windows and a 1,000 pipe organ. The foundation of the church was laid in 1889 and the edifice was dedicated in 1893. Who would expect to find such a beautiful old Catholic Church in the middle of Georgia?

While on Cherry Street this squirrel came down the tree to see me not once but twice. I thought pulling out the big lens would scare him off but he did not move. Just struck a pose.
Home plate at Luther Williams Field. I was fortunate enough to catch a few Macon Braves games here when they were still around. I also played a few high school games here myself. Such a cool ballpark. #focusedonmacon #macon #maconga #macongram #macongeorgia #maconmemories #abandoned #abandonedplaces #explore_georgia #urbex #urbanexploration #baseball

When we spotted this sign from about a block away, it was a foot race to see who could get there first. Dagmar won... and her prize was getting Kodachromed.
We found a secret garden for their engagement session in Macon!

This is the entrance to the Grand Opera House located in Macon, Georgia. The Wikipedia entry on it states: "The Grand Opera House, often called The Grand and also known as Academy of Music, is a historic opera house located in Macon, Georgia, United States. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is currently operated as a performing arts center of Mercer University. Originally known as the Academy of Music, the Grand was built in 1883 and 1884 with the largest stage in the southeastern United States, outstanding lines-of sight and acoustics (both still notable today), and seats for 2,418, nearly a fifth of Macon's population at the time. The facade, a building located on Mulberry Street, was renovated in 1902, and the present seven-story office building facade opened in 1905. Since that time, the stage has seen numerous historic uses. Live horses and chariots appeared in an 1908 production of Ben-Hur. During World War I, actor Charlie Chaplin led the John Phillip Sousa band for a fundraising effort. According to the Grand's website, the theater has also hosted, among others, Sarah Bernhardt, Will Rogers, and George Burns and Gracie Allen. Some other famous performers to appear there include Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore, Bob Hope, the Allman Brothers Band, and Ray Charles. Magician Harry Houdini was also a featured player at the Grand, leaving a well-known legacy: the stage sports a number of trap doors, one of which remains operational and is used occasionally today in performances such as annual production of The Nutcracker ballet. Local lore claims that the trap doors were installed specifically for Houdini. In 1936, as the popularity of vaudeville waned, the Grand changed to a movie theater, hosting Macon's only Hollywood premiere, 1945's God is My Co-Pilot. However, by the 1960s, the Grand had ceased showing movies and plans were made to replace it with a parking lot. Those plans were blocked in 1967 by the Macon Arts Council, a group formed to save and restore the Grand. By 1970, the group had held a gala featuring the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and had the property placed on the National Register of Historic Places. (It was listed on the National Register in 1970. The Opera House was renovated and reopened as a live theater in 1969. (The second balcony, or peanut gallery, remained closed to the public and was dedicated to lighting equipment at this time, reducing the maximum seating to its current number of 1,030). Fund-raising efforts continued through the next several decades, with ongoing physical plant upgrades, with another renovation taking place in 1985. In 1995, Mercer University signed a lease with Bibb County to manage the Grand. Subsequently, Mercer has invested in upgrading the facility to modern standards as well as making it a fixture for community events. Today, the Grand hosts many Broadway touring companies, concerts (such as those of the Macon Symphony Orchestra, community theatre productions (including the aforementioned Nutcracker holiday show), and other performances and events."
