Merely surviving - 12/18/2005
The Atlanta area is quite large. The traffic and crowds prevent one from really being able to enjoy going to anything offered.

I can honestly say I have enjoyed less while living in Atlanta than I did when I lived in a town of 5,000 people in southwest Kansas.
In Atlanta you find yourself restricted to a five mile radius around your home or

I need more than a house. - 10/9/2005
I lived in Mableton, GA for four years. Everybody says come to GA you can get a house, but I needed more than a house for my family and myself. The H.S. basically repeated the required subjects under different titles and are the second worse schools in the USA. The people were very rude and disrespectful and times, but on the other hand there were some very good down to earth people as well. The churches were very nice. Another positive thing I can say about GA is that the Hope Scholarship is a great progam. If you graduate from a GA H.S. with a' B ' average, you can go to any college in GA for free.
