I’m your host Kate and if you Jersey Shore lovers out there haven’t heard the news yet, you might be in for a real treat. Debuting June 23rd on MTV is another very “Jersey Shore like” series titled “Buckhead Shore.” This show follows the summer antics of a group of friends on Lake Lanier. In my opinion, they didn’t choose a very good venue. 

Today’s episode will dive into the bizarre and tragic history of Lake Lanier, a lake that has claimed the lives of at least 675 people.
