Artist Ashley Crain created a design incorporating four components that symbolize GA: the Georgia peach, the Brown Thrasher, Cherokee Roses, and Ray Charles' classic, "Georgia on My Mind." A huge fan of anything vintage, she wanted to "recreate an old postcard feel" for the overall look, but with more vibrant colors.
To showcase both Athens and Georgia, her hydrant design is featured beside City Hall on the corner of Washington St. & College Ave.
