BYPASS!
Star Rating - 8/20/2007
Augusta, has nothing going for it. Crime and Poverty everywhere in Augusta. Unemployment rate is high. Racism still is very evident, even among same races...I have never seen so many over weight, gaped mouthed missing teeth ppl in one area. Cars on the roads are beat up, or nothing that stands out. There are only 2-3 main streets(Wasington Rd, Wrightsboro, Bobby Jones) that take you to everything from N. Augusta(which is small and coutry) to S. Augusta/Inwhich is called Hephzibah- i know this ia America, not the Mid East but..( which is desolate and ghetto), to Martinez, and Evans which is growing true, but is all centered from one main road and not mention these 2 cities are not very big. Augusta is 2 hrs away from ATL..The weather is extremely hot and humid- like PHX weather, but never dry...Warm winters.. A whole city built of greed, racism, fakes, etc... The dwn twn is one street that is like 8 blocks long and then you have some rr tracks. Building condemmed, and outdated..and a few stripclubs...one mall(they have just built an extension too an outside plaza type setting...there are alot of churches, and car lots. ppl look at you if you have any type of tech bckgd, or ent creds like you just got off the short bus..they cant handle enterprising ideas, or suggestions, too much to handle..ppl here think that the world beats around Augusta LOL!!!
the radio stations here are even more of a reminder you dont want to be here- the dj's are country and talk too damn much about stupid stuff..a celeb comes to the station and the idiots there are acting like they have never been through civilization..its so stupid and ghetto...even the top 40 statio her they just got lik 2 yrs ago the continuously play the same stuff, and...i can't speak anymore on it- i am getting a headache just tinking about it, and like a M.Vick when he goes to prison I will be awaiting the day I leave theA.U.G as they say, or to be politically correct CSRA, and get back to a real city where life is at, and so from on this you can visit if you want to!!!!

ps
MAsters here is ridiculously whack!!!, oh and they have a first friday dwntwn that hardly anyone goes too!!! and another thing the police mess with ppl so bad here Augusta, and MArtinez/Evans that at leats 85% of ppl here have been detained from misdeameanors to felonies...the schools are bad, slow in what they are teaching...

I am sorry you had such a bad experience in Augusta. I have to say I've been living in the Augusta/Martinez are for more than 6 years and I have never ever experienced the racism and ignorance you speak of. I'm not even American and still have never encountered any racism whatsoever anywhere in/around Augusta. I've never had any such encounters with the police either. I have no idea what you are talking about. If you are a jerk or like acting stupid while driving, then you deserve it. The radio stations have gotten a LOT better the past two years or so. There are country, rock, classic rock, hits and even jazz stations. I honestly can't complain. First friday has also gotten better, although I can say that if you are not into clubs/bars then there is nothing for you in Downtown Augusta besides restaurants. I have myself walked around Downtown and the River Walk late at night with my girlfriend without nothing ever happening. The police patrol the area. About the Masters... what can I say? If you're not into golf then you have the right to say it sucks, although not being a fan myself I have truly enjoyed the times I have been to the tournament. Here's hint: Go to the practice rounds. The golfers are not too stressed and they tend to goof around a bit, which makes it more fun.
