Moved to Georgia from New Jersey - 10/23/2010

I moved to Georgia from New Jersey six years ago and it has been quite a culture shock.The biggest shock for me has been how far behind the schools are. I am a public school teacher and the schools here (Gwinnett County) are easily two years behind in their curriculum. The people here also are not as genuine as the people in New Jersey. This has been a hard move for me. I have been trying to find a teaching job back home for two years now and due to the economy I haven't had any luck. Before moving to GA consider the great education in NJ. I wish I had done my research. GA ranks 41 in the smartest states. NJ ranks number four!

Moving to Georgia. - 9/10/2010

I plan on moving to Georgia as soon as I find a job. I currently live in Chicago and I'm so tired of the cold fall and winter seasons. I'm looking for a nice town to live in near Conyers. I've checked out Ellenwood and was advised to look only at the Henry county side. I really love the State and think it would be great for me and my family. Any suggestions would be great.

ATLANTA--GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME - 8/20/2010

As a New York "transplant" Atlanta took some getting used to. I moved here to be able to live more comfortably and got more than I bargained for. My quality of life has improved ten-fold. I certainly could not afford a home in NY and was able to achieve so much more here in such little time. P.S. I miss NY for genuine friends. Not the same here...too many "shallow" people.

Relocating to Georgia - 7/27/2010

I have set a plan into place to relocate to Georgia North of Atlanta in 2011. I just got back from ATL on July 26. This was my time to look around for houses, schools, churches, shopping etc. I have been to ATL several times but this particular time kind of disappointed me. I didn't feel the same excitement that I have been feeling about the move. I guess because this time it was work and not fun. I have friends in Canton, Woodstock, Atlanta (southside), Buckhead and Alpharetta. My daughter has been in ATL for 6 years and she loves it and so do all of my friends and all say that they would never move back to Maryland. My daughter also said to stay North of ATL because there is less crime and better schools. I am so undecided now and I don't know why. I love the Metro Washington DC area where I was born and raised. I live in Bowie and love it but everything is so expensive here now. I have a 13 year old who will be attending HS and I have chosen Milton HS for her. for what I paid for a house in Bowie I can buy 2 in Georgia for the same price. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...........

Where Are The Safest Places To Live? - 7/25/2010

I'm a white, single, 26 yr old male who is relocating from Dallas/Ft. Worth,TX to Georgia in the middle of August this year. I have been looking for a safe, entertaining place to call home that has a good amount of young adults residing there. I know that Atlanta is going to be an obvious answer from many as there are tons of young adults and lots of things to do. However, I have heard and read from many that crime is can be a big concern, and traffic is unbearable. So, my question is this: Are there any Georgia residents who can recommend ANY safe, entertaining region/city for young adults like myself outside of Atlanta?

Relocating From Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX to Georgia! - 7/25/2010

I am a young, white, single male (26 years old) and will be relocating from Dallas/Ft. Worth,TX to Georgia in the middle of August. I have been trying to research safe, yet entertaining areas for single people my age. I know that Atlanta is going to be an obvious answer when it comes to entertainment, but I hear that crime can be a concern, and that the traffic can be unbearable. Are there any Georgia residents who can recommend a safe place outside of Atlanta for someone like myself to live? I just need help with people who are familiar with the better cities/areas to live in, as I am a stranger to the state of GA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I look forward to being there soon!

Stay as far North of Atlanta as possible - 7/11/2010

We retired and later settled from Southern Maine to Forsyth County in central north Georgia. Here we have parks, walking trails, good climate with somewhat changing seasons, and GREAT SHOPPING MALLS. We are close to Lake Lanier, the integrity of which is super guarded by State and County. One very good aspect of life here is that is very family oriented and religious. There is strong police and sheriff presence and crime is strongly not tolerated, hence an extremely low crime rate. Another fine aspect is that seniors (above 65) pay no school tax on their property tax. The homes are well built and affordable. Gardening is great here. Admittedly the summer is a little warmer than one would want but it does not last that long. Perhaps four warm months, then very temperate. Good physicians and medical care with lots of specialists. We are about fifty miles north of Atlanta, just about enough.

Foreclosures - 4/15/2010

The City of Atlanta is continuing its bout with the economic crisis, particularly the housing bust. Foreclosures have reached record highs and pose a constant threat to the stability of whole neighborhoods. Much is being done but more is needed!

Georgia most repressive and uncivilized state. H - 2/6/2010

Moved from the new jersey to Georgia 1 year ago. Life in Georgia is horrible deprsssing and will deplete your savings if you have one before you know it. The only positive thing is the Houses are nice,and the lanscape is beautiful. But its a very repressive state. Cost of living unbelieveable. crime shocking. Forget trying to find a good paying job. The drivers ridiculously stupid. Life is very hard in Georgia geting from one place to another. The distance takes a toll on you especially the mileage on your car, paying for gas. Just horrible.

THEN GO BACK HOME - 2/3/2010

Atlanta is one of the most beautiful places in the South to live. Most of the people you encountered here are NOT from Atlanta so they bring their states attitudes and problems and lifestyles here to this wonderful city. Again, I-20, 75 and 85 all runs in and out of this city. Take your pick. If you don't like here then that's fine just leave. Something brought you here in the first place. True Atlien's represent the city in ways different than what the media shows and the way people who are not from here tend to want to represent Atlanta. Not all people here are gay! You of all people should now that CA is the Gayiest city and the only reason why that may have changed is because they moved here. Again, representing the attitudes and lifestyles of other cities. So please do not just assume all of Atlanta is this way, make sure that the people you met REALLY are from here before you go and rude and crass assumptions about my city. GA PEACH

ga it is here I work and listen to blues and leave - 9/15/2009

I have lived here for more than half my life , has for work and music and if I was a drug and hung out at local bars and slept most the day I would get laid alot. I find the generation I am in 40something is not a hot bed in atlanta unless you go dancing at blues places and hanging out with friends in you little home town which mine town is peachtree city. Lots of northerners and many canadiens and airline people and north west people . But as for single women that take care of them selves and like guys instead of ladies this is not a good state to be in . If I was black maybe a little better . but I think it it is only a hot place if you are drunk and stay up all night and party . Not many laid back people that just hang out and have fun at home. My kids are grown and I have free time and hard to fit in with the younger crowd .

It's time to move on - 4/6/2009

It's like a bad marriage; no matter how much counseling you get there's one partner who continues to bring drama to the table. Georgia has not moved into the 21st century, it have too much of the extreme and not enough balance. It's been interesting but it's time to move on after 30 years. Moving on out.....

Visit Chickamauga - 1/26/2009

I used to live in Chickamauga.It is a great place to visit. Lots and lots of Civil War history.Confederate flags flying everywhere and it's people are very proud of who they are and what their town stands for!It's in the foothills and very pretty. Lots of country views. There really isn't a lot to do there and I honestly didn't like actually living there. But it is a wonderful place to visit if you get the chance.

Cost of Foods. - 12/18/2008

Cost of living ,in general is slightly lower than average, IMO. Food cost is much lower and if you like fast foods, this is the fast food and buffet capital of the country.
