A Great Place to Live

5/17/2007
Albany is a great place to live. The city is just the right size (165,000 metro population) to have most of the things that larger places have, but without the drawbacks of larger cities, such as traffic congestion. The streets are wide and well-planned with many alternate routes to any local destination, thereby reducing traffic slowdowns to practically nothing. The medical facilities are superb, with one large regional medical center and one smaller one. The Albany Mall has four large anchor department stores and scores of other national stores that draw customers from a 90 mile radius. Cultural facilities are better than most places, with a planetarium, an acquarium, a large screen theater that shows documentary type pictures, a 10,000 seat civic center, an art museum, an AZA accredited zoo (one of only two in Georgia), a Civil Rights Museum, a river walk, an active theater group and the only completely professional symphony orchestra in South Georgia. Most of those who move here and participate in the life of the community love it.
