Athens, GA

Athens-a great palce to live. Being a college "town" (home of UGA),makes for a diverse mixture of people,cultures, and personalities. UGA offers educational and cultural events for the entire area and ages. The Classic Center also has a variety of entertainment for all ages and taste. And, of course, there is that sense of community here with alot of "Southern" hospility. We are also near Atlanta,a few hours from the beach or mountains.
