    Default porterdale GA (Outside Covington)

    i was coming home from the race yesterday and got to drive through a town called porterdale. And it seemed as if i was in a time warp lol. i dunno if anyone else knows where this is... its on 81 outside of covington. Its almost like its the town that was forgotten 40 years ago.

    There is a really cool . really old factory that was once there.... its HUGE!

    Im glad I live where I live..... it could be worse....

    so yeah thats my story

    I use to go around there.

    If you go straight down 20 through Sneville and pass all that shit it eventualy turns into 81 wich throws you into Porterdale.

    ^^^ You first have to turn left onto 81 and then it goes to Porterdale. If you turn right, it goes into McDonough. But you're basically right. Later, QD.

    Right. I was thinking if you went all the way down 20 through Conyers and out the other side. I wasn't even thinking about hitting up 20/78/81 in Loganville. Later, QD.
