"I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an engineer / A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of an engineer." -- Georgia Tech
Irondale, Georgia is one of the few cities in the United States that doesn't have a past. In fact, no matter how much you look up about this city, you're going to draw blanks each and every time. But think about it -- is it really necessary to have a past to be relevant in the present? I think that was supposed come across all philosophical, but instead I've just confused myself and I'm sure you're scratching your head too, so I'll accept the embarrassment and bow out now. I will say though that it is pretty weird for a town not to have a past (it might just be because it is a Census Designated Town, so it was never "officially established") or it could be a conspiracy in which the government / Illuminati wiped the historical data off of their space computers. I really should have stopped at the last paragraph.
If you're considering finding rental houses or apartments in Irondale, you'll have to covet your own transportation
