== Fun facts ==
* Other than all of the chain businesses at the I-75 exit, there's not really a whole lot in Cordele. The amenities at the exit are decent, though. There's a couple of shopping centers, plenty of fast food, decent hotels, a truck stop, a Home Depot, a Walmart, a Nintendo World, local restaurants and businesses, dollar stores, a municipal airport, and a few other things...not all of these things are by the interstate, though.
* Cordele is one of many rural Georgia cities that has suffered from the loss of manufacturing jobs. Job selection in Cordele isn't the best.
