Review of Augusta, Georgia


Good economy and quality of life
Star Rating - 12/30/2009
Augusta has good job growth and is quite diversified in the employment area. Manufacturing, medical, professional, service, etc. The good ol' boy politics of years ago are basically gone, thanks to a few key elections recently. Good housing value, too.
Like every city in the USA, there are negative people who love to comment. And, as everyone knows, negative people do the majority of web posting. I've read Sperling's reviews on plenty of cities, and the majority of the comments in those cities are negative, too.
Augusta is a good place, and the overwhelming majority of us here like it a lot.

Augusta is a hell hole. Job growth? Oh I guess I missed another Wal-mart opening. The place stinks (literally). The downtown is one boarded up building after another,aggressive pan handlers, and winos urinating in alleys. As far as nightlife, well let's just say it makes a frat keg party seem sophisticated. Food? A waffle House and McDonalds on just about every other corner pretty much sums it up. If you actually think Augusta is a nice place to live then you obviously have not been to many places.

Augusta has received over 20 national recognitions for the local economy during the past two years. Your city, Miles, is not even on the list. Miles, I read all your Sperling posts, and you don't like any locations such as Sandy Springs, Evans, etc. It must be sad to be so negative. Please enjoy living in Atlanta and your crime infested city.
