Converted restaurant and local businesses on Gray's Main Street
Gray is about 2 miles from the neighborhood and where most residents come for shopping and dining. Along the main street of Gray is regional grocery store Harveys Supermarket, along with an Ingles Market and a variety of chain restaurants. The Bent Axle Neighborhood Grill harkens back to older times, converted from a gas station with an old truck from the early 1900s sitting out front and the front bumper of a car acting as the hostess stand. Local clothing stores like Ambi Rae Boutique and Bass Trading Co. sit along West Clinton Street. Big-box stores like Walmart Supercenter are found in larger cities like Macon and Milledgeville, about the same distance away, but “most people will head to Milledgeville,” Faircloth says. Milledgeville has a trolley that runs through its historical section, highlighting important buildings from the city’s time as the state capital.
