Valdosta can't wait to leave.

Valdosta is a step back in history. Not in a good way mind you. There is a church on every corner of the city just about. Which pretty much explains the total void of any night life. There is very little to do here. Fast food abounds and we pretty much deep fry EVERYTHING. The job market is crap. Unless you enjoy working for 10 bucks an hour or less. With a degree and experience. Some fishing and hunting spots here and there. The only problem is if you are not a local you will be greeted with "this has been my spot since.....". At which point you should just move on. The grade schools here suck. Very limited budget and not much put into education other than the local football stadium which is amazing. If you are in to that sort of thing. There is an amusement park down the road. It's not bad. They have a few concerts (country mostly). The people are very friendly and helpfull. Summers range from hot to insanely hot and humid. The winters do get chilly (freezing and below). Not terrible and not very long lived though. The cost of living is high like everywhere else now. You just make less money. Over all I'd have to say I can't wait to leave and I hope it's soon.
