Where to Find the Real Theo of Golden in Columbus, Georgia
Visit Columbus mapped more than a dozen real sites from Allen Levi’s bestselling novel into a self-guided tour and three-day itinerary.
- With more than 3.5 million copies sold, author Allen Levi's novel "Theo of Golden" has captivated readers, inspiring Columbus tourism officials to create a self-guided walking tour pinning fictional landmarks to real addresses in Columbus, Georgia.
- Visitors retracing Theo's steps can start at Broadway and 10th Street in Uptown, where Fountain City Coffee inspired the fictional cafe "The Chalice" and displays 90 drawings by artist Garry Pound, who inspired the character Asher.
- Guests at the Rothschild-Pound House Inn can book a "Theo of Golden" package pairing a curated walking tour with artwork, while EPIC restaurant offers a "Theo-Inspired Chef" table experience based on meals Levi frequented.
- The full three-day itinerary includes the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts, where student concerts fill seats as Theo did, and Minnie's Uptown Restaurant, known for its fried chicken and banana pudding.
- With a Warner Bros. film in development, interest in the literary sites may grow; Deadline reported in August that Tom Hanks is in talks to play Theo.
