The Heartbeat of Macon: A Love Letter to Local Business Owners 💖

As I map out the details for our upcoming public crawls, I can’t help but reflect on the big why behind everything we do here at Macon Me Wander. At the core of this business is a desire to introduce you to the incredible businesses that are run by our neighbors—people who pour their hearts into creating the best experiences for everyone who steps through their doors. Macon is home to some of the most passionate, vibrant, and downright amazing individuals, and I fall more in love with this community every day I work with our local owners.

There’s something uniquely magical about Macon. Sure, we have our share of folks who’ve been here their whole lives, but we also have a large group of owners who came from somewhere else but found their way here like it was always meant to be. These folks have embraced Macon like family, and it’s clear that our city is better because of their commitment to the people who live here.

Whether you're hunting for the perfect scent, discovering a new dish that hits every craving, or enjoying a cocktail mixed with care and flair, our local businesses aren’t just about what they sell—they’re about the experience they create. It’s a place where every single person you meet wants to make your visit unforgettable. In fact, I’ve had visitors tell me time and time again how welcomed they feel here in Macon. It’s that Southern hospitality that keeps people coming back—and it’s exactly what makes Macon feel like home.

As I guide folks through our crawls, my excitement grows because I know this: when you buy a ticket, you’re not just getting a fun night out. You’re entering a community where the people are treated like family. Our business partners go above and beyond to show our guests the best Macon has to offer. And that’s something special.

So here’s my invite to you—join us on 9/4/25 for our Classroom Crawl and experience the heart of Macon for yourself. Let’s celebrate the magic of our community, support our local businesses, and, most importantly, have a blast doing it!

Because at Macon Me Wander, it’s all about the experience—and we’ve got one that’s waiting for you.
