Greenways, good food and R.E.M. history near the University of Georgia
The railroad trestle bridge that graces the back cover of Murmur, the debut album from R.E.M., is in Chicopee-Dudley. Or it was. Today the iconic trestle has been replaced by a shinier, happier version – a steel-and-wood replica that is a key link on the growing Firefly Trail near the University of Georgia (UGA). Busy with pedestrians and cyclists, the revamped trestle is an apt symbol for the neighborhood, where new Craftsman homes and remodeled bungalows are bringing some oomph to the scene. Good restaurants and greenways are also draws. “It’s young professionals and young families then a sprinkling of college students as well,” says Christine Stratton, Trails and Open Space Coordinator for Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services. “It’s really growing, and people are buying old houses and revamping them.”
Chicopee-Dudley is home to the Firefly Trail for locals to utilize.
Dudley Park sits directly next to the Murmur Railroad Trestle in Chicopee-Dudley.

Crowds line up for hearty breakfasts at Mama’s Boy
Mama’s Boy restaurant serves innovative Southern breakfasts beside Dudley Park and its trails. “Mama’s Boy is very popular. There are lines around the block,” says Stratton. “Their biscuits are great.” Digging into dishes like the Truck Stop Benedict – a biscuit slathered in sausage gravy and topped with poached eggs and fried chicken – is probably not what the doctor ordered. But 100% of tastebuds will applaud the choice. And there are trails aplenty for a walk after breakfast in the adjacent park. Weaver D’s Fine Foods, just around the bend, is famous for its fried chicken and collard greens. Weaver D’s shot to fame after R.E.M. named its eighth album after the restaurant’s slogan: Automatic for the People. As the motto implies, the soul food here arrives quickly and efficiently i.e. ready for the people. Piggly Wiggly sells groceries two miles north of the neighborhood.
