Athens was overrun with very pure coke like around the mid-'90s. Many sources claim it was flown in by the head district attorney.
This was the period when Athens' music scene and downtown really was coming into its own and starting to boom. There had been The B-52s and R.E.M. beforehand, of course, but there wasn't a lot to do in Athens previous to 1989 or thereabouts. The traffickers saw a growing market and set up shop.
