Your guide to the CSRA.

How it started

CSRA Night & Day started as Dating CSRA, a page of date-night ideas around Augusta. We saw a gap: there was no single place to find what was worth doing around here. So we started sharing what we found.

It grew. Restaurants, small businesses, events, live music, family outings, murals, weekly event roundups. The page outgrew its name, so we gave it a new one.

About CSRA Night & Day

Who we are

We’re Jessi and Justin Baker, a local couple who explore the CSRA and share what we find. We are not a dating site. We’re here to connect the community with the places, people and events that make this area worth living in.

If it’s local and worth your time, we want you to know about it.

You can still find us at @datingcsra while we make the switch.
