A new town has been founded in Georgia, USA. Nothing unusual in that, but it is not expected that there will be any permanent residents. The reason? It is a purpose-built biker town set up for a series of events during the year.
‘Angel City’, built on a 400 acre site at a cost of USD 2 million, is described as a “Western Style biker haven”
Angel City's builder, John Wayne Smith, said he wanted to create a biker haven "I want people to have a good time," said Smith, 55. "And of course I wanted something in Georgia."
The inaugural event, the Iron Angels Rally & Music Festival, drew about 17,000 people, according to Smith. Another biker rally is scheduled for Oct. 12-15.
Smith said Angel City could also be used as a staging area for bikers heading to the major rallies in Daytona each year.
