COVINGTON, Ga. -- The city of Covington, better know as the Hollywood of the South, is about to unveil a project similar to Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
The Covington Walk of Stars will feature concrete pavers with the names of actors and productions filmed in Newton County. Over the years, the town and its picturesque square have been transformed into Hazzard County for the popular TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard"; Sparta, Miss., for "In the Heat of the Night"; and, most recently, Mystic Falls, Va., for "The Vampire Diaries."
