A "don't miss" attraction is the Old Mill, an authentic reproduction of an old water-powered grist mill which appears in the opening scene of the classic movie, "Gone with the Wind." Alltel Arena hosts college and NBA basketball games plus concerts by major entertainers. The city parks system is one of the best with Burns Park and North Shore Riverwalk two of the most popular.
