You Say "Peach State," I Say "Savannah Sunrise": A Hilariously Wrong Direction Guide to Georgia's Nachbarn (That's German for Neighbor, Folks)
Ah, Georgia. The land of peanuts, peaches, and...uh...being next to a state that's definitely not South Carolina. Right? Guys? Right?
Okay, maybe you geography whizzes out there already knew this, but for those of us who confuse cardinal directions with catchy country music lyrics ("Eastbound and Down" doesn't exactly scream "educational"), this little nugget of knowledge might come as a surprise. Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to embark on a journey to discover what state ACTUALLY borders Georgia to the east.

Hold Your Horses (or Should We Say, Possums?) It's Not Alabama!
Yes, you read that right. Alabama, with its magical combination of college football and mysterious license plates, is not Georgia's eastern neighbor. Shocking, I know. But fear not, geography enthusiasts (or those desperately trying to avoid a wrong turn on a road trip), we have the answer!
Drumroll please...
The state to the east of Georgia is...South Carolina!

I can practically hear the collective "Duh!" from the peanut gallery, but hey, even the brightest bulbs need a little wattage refresh now and then.
So, How Did This Whole "East of Georgia" Debacle Even Happen?
Well, let's be honest, memorizing all those state borders can be a real drag. Especially when there are way more important things to remember, like the lyrics to your favorite karaoke song or the name of that actor who played that one character in that movie you can't quite place.
Here's my theory: perhaps Georgia's charm is so darn infectious that it's constantly beckoning its neighbors closer. Alabama leans in a bit from the west, and South Carolina gets a little too friendly from the east. It's a southern hospitality thing, really.
But hey, at least now you can confidently point your car east and know exactly where you're headed: beautiful South Carolina!
