It used to be a big treat for us to go to Brunch at Rays on the River then the 2 malls afterwards. We lived in Forsyth County until we left for Spain in 2016.
Can rural Pennsylvania divorce itself from corrupt Philadelphia?
Out of the 10 schools listed as most dangerous campuses when my son went to college, 5 of them were in Atlanta and Georgia Tech was one of the 5. That said, he lived on campus and graduated having never been the victim of a crime.
Neiman Marcus is at one end....
I havent been to Lenox or Phipps for about 2 years...
Not a chance. No state is going to allow part of it to be absorbed by another.
Almost Heaven, West Virginia...
:)
LOL. That’s very unrealistic - it won’t happen.
I think we should make a new country....forget about states....
There is a serious resistance to change in the area. Decades long attempts to place an LNG terminal on the bay are in limbo. If it happened, it would bottleneck ship traffic that needed to get past it, to access current port facilities. Rail access consists of one dead end track. Even road access is shaky. Highway 101 is good north/south, but port facilities are squeezed between the highway and the bay. Very little land. Access to I-5 is via a very winding road. Large-scale imports would be a nightmare.
And Campbell thought he was a shoo-in with the Anklepants’ admin-’til the federal indictments hit.
He’s out of jail now and has been popping up all around town.
Guess he’ll be announcing his second mayoral run soon, seeing as multiple felony convictions don’t seem to bother his constituency all that much...
Georgia Tech is in Midtown Atlanta and is not really in a bad area. However, it is close enough to downtown and bad areas like Vine City and the Bankhead Highway (now known as Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway) corridor that the criminals easily roam the Georgia Tech area and prey on students, especially students walking at night. Lots of armed robberies in the past few years.
That process (scattering idle unassimilated “takers” into residential neighborhoods of single-family homes - and taxpayers) would be the primary reason I’d never buy a home today - unless I was reasonably sure it could never happen (cold weather, dangerous animals, etc. that would discourage people who walk around all day in their pajamas from ever feeling comfortable).
Bend, OR might live up to it’s name under the new map.
THAT is the ticket - threaten mass evacuation. Find some sucker rapper or athlete (from the faux-economy of entertainment) and sell your home to them - and never look back. Shortly after their careers fizzle the properties will be in arrears on taxes, and the local takers will need a new host - so be far enough away to avoid them!
I lived in Alpharetta in 1999. In addition, I’ve had relatives living or working in or near NYC, Boston, Philly, Wilmington, Annapolis, Baltimore, Wash DC, and Wilmington. I went to those places a lot on business when I was working and never liked any of them (despite growing up in the East through age 14). So I’ve got a pretty good idea of the social pathologies there.
My company wanted me to relocate permanently to Alpharetta and I declined. Thank goodness we didn’t sell our California house or it would have been a one-way trip from CA to GA.
left for the west when I graduated from college and never looked back. Of course, the west has changed a lot in the past 50 years and not for the better.
With a name like that, do I even need to look?
I thought Portland dwarfed Coos Bay, but the Port of Coos Bay web page made that claim. I worked in Florence up the road a bit in the 70s and lived in Winchester Bay. I know what you mean about the East-west roads being a bit windy and not good for freight traffic.
GA tech in a bad area. Criminals prey on students. News covered up.
I think separation from these Blue failed cities may be the only solution to stop them from spreading their cancer.
Show me anywhere in the world that has population of 51% black or better and I’ll show you super high crime rates. the phenomenon actually kicks in when the black pop hits around ~10%
