McDonough, GA
Divided on opinions -
4/15/2013I was once told years ago that the quality of life goes down after you pass the airport in Atlanta, while heading south. I moved to McDonough, GA and found the people for the most part pleasant. There are some very decent people here. BUT if for any reason you let the majority know anything about you that is hard like having a tough time in life, or a marriage etc...they will take full reign in doing their best to use that against you. This simply doesn't seem to matter how well you like the person or how great of friends you think you are. Most relationships are superficial, more so than what we know is part of life. That is rather distrubing. There are no decent malls and I missed that. There are however some decent private schools for lower education Hampton First Baptist is wonderful for K. It is a quaint town that has grown considerably and overall though I really enjoyed it. Love Noahs Ark. There are also a handfull of carnivals and fairs to take your children. People despite the above mentioned are friendly and children play together and people laugh and seem to enjoy life. Driving to Atlanta, to me is not a big deal so we did so regulary for musemums, orcherstras, malls etc. I would say if I had to live here again I could be happy but there is also a reason we moved. It's not all bad but does have that small town feel despite how big it really is.

re: Review and Question. - 1/7/2010 -
3/19/2013There is no conservative view here. Are you kidding? They love drugs, tattos, sex and beer. They believe they are entitled to everythign you have and shouldn't have to work because they get free food (foodstamps). Those are liberal views not conservative. They are rude and nasty and very poorly educated that isn't conservative or anything else. The thing you need to understand is no one is welcome in Lakeland and that has nothing to do with anything other than lakeland!

The undesirable life style -
3/19/2013Lakeland, FL is like living in another country all together. The closest thing I've come to it is old Russia under communist reign. The people here are very poorly educated. Even those with four year degrees, who seem to think that makes them very educated, haven't a clue. The lack of social graces, compassion, kindness, and the ability to relate to other human beings can certainly change the views of those who truly believe in evolution. An example a man and a child were shot at a local flea market what did people do? They walked right over top of them and continued shopping. This is common behavior and normal for them! The majority love their tattos, drugs and drinking and partying and have no vision or plans for the future. Other than who or what they will be having sex with that night. They do not care who you are and they do not want anything to do with you unless your going to give them something for "free". The area is in a state of despair. The people here think they should be paid to sit on their butts because they are them but do not think they should have to pay you! Four degrees and 15 years of experience in one field and they will only give you $8 an hour! No kidding. They seem to believe that they have a right to everything that is not theres. We are on a street that has the lowest crime rate in Lakeland, which doesn't say much and have been robbed four times. The quality of life..well there just isn't any. People here are so full of themselves and hostile that it will rob you of any hope of life, dreams, desires and any type of real future. The longer you stay the worse it gets. This place will suck the life out of you and then laugh and pat its self on the back. Where in the world do these people come from? The locals blame the snowbirds but they behave the same way. The locals say its because it's a melting pot well I got news for you so is most of America and people do not behave this way in NC, SC, GA, or TN..hell not even AL. So it is simply a lame excuse. Do not bring your children here! This is the worse place for children. The schools are awful and the future of your child will be robbed. Horrible place.
