Richmond county is pretty much broke and ghetto, area around MCG, near Laney Walker, even near Academy of Richmond County and heck even the areas near ASU.
Location: Augusta, GA ''The fastest rising city in the southeast''

Sure dude. Your post sound exactly similar to the person with multiple screen names in the Augusta forum(Pinebridge,Par4ham, etc). The person shows up from time to time and bashes the city. Either way I'm done responding to your nonsense, because you're trolling. I notice you still haven't provided your facebook page link. I thought you had 24 out of 26 friends from Augusta on your facebook who are waiting to leave lol. Nobody in their right mind would ever call Summerville/Hill(the area near ASU) ghetto for example. Summerville/Hill is the richest area in all of metro Augusta. Plus million dollar homes are the norm. YouTube - richest area in Augusta Georgia
The area around ASU sure does look ghetto.....
The city rolled back taxes THREE times in a little over two weeks during a recession... The Richmond County tax digest grew by 51.3 million this year.. Augusta Rolls Back Property Taxes
Broke cities don't roll back taxes three times during a recession..

^^^^^Lol, I meant the second largest metro.... I would never say Augusta is larger than the 5 million metro Atlanta.
The list for Augusta was a short sample... There's no way I'm going to include every single ranking on Augusta..
And alot of those rankings on Raleigh aren't anything special...
Nope...there's absolutely nothing special about being named the smartest city in the nation or having some of the nation's best public schools. It's not a big deal to be the most politically engaged city or being good for business. It's not a big deal to have the highest quality of life or the fastest growth in the nation..
Nope...nothing special there....
Dude, nobody is saying anything against Augusta within the right context. However.....almost everyone agrees that it's out of its league completely with the comparison to the other cities.

The picture was one of the entrances to the Augusta State University Walton Way campus.. The campus is located in the middle of a neighborhood...
But the rankings for Augusta are pretty impressive too.

Forbes #5 in the nation “Best Bang For the Buck” Cities
Business Week #11 “America’s 25 Next Recovering Job Markets”
Business Week #6 “Strongest Building Markets for Housing”

Augusta is a great city. I'll give it a dog fight with Madison. But it's not Richmond or Raleigh. There are no cities in GA that are on this level, I hope what I'm saying is being understood here. Augusta is making strides and in 20-30 years who knows where it will be. But for now, it's not there. But like I said, who knows what the future will hold.
Nortonguy Im quite aware of I-520, but its not a major North-South, East-West route. It is even completed yet??. Also it doesnt back up the claim that continuous development is occuring on the SC side in Aiken and Edgefield Counties. Dude give up the arguement while you have some credibility left. You want a city to compare to thats around the same size?. Take a look at Huntsville, AL.
