Thomson grew up along the Georgia Railroad, and the old depot still anchors the downtown blocks where the town's business gets done. SallywhiteEnterprise, LLC keeps grounds looking tended in that same town — mowing, edging, trimming and cleanup on a schedule that never needs reminding. Summer here is long and generous to grass; the work is mostly a matter of arriving before it gets ahead of anyone. Hedges shaped, beds cleared, walks and lots blown down so an entrance looks cared for by the time anyone pulls in. Thomson and the McDuffie County communities around it.
