Dude please nobody ever said Augusta was better at everything... I just laugh at some of the comments made by people from the Columbus area...

I'm not the one bringing up the Grove for instance and trying to compare it against the VAR... I would never try to fool people if a project in Augusta was proposed in 2010, hasn't even started construction, and according to the developer will take atleast ten years to complete...

I only decided to check out the details on those projects, because some of the people from Columbus tend to exaggerate...

Put it this way, Columbus will regain its status as the #2 city before long. You can't have that many people come and not regain its status. BTW, Columbus' metro population is 301,000+. If you add in Lee County, Alabama (which is its own metro), there is another 140,000. It just so happens to be that Auburn/Opelika is large enough to have its own metro even though it touches the Columbus metro. A/O is only 20-25 mins from downtown Columbus.

BTW, I, along with many others, are tired of hearing your same post quoting "115 acre Village at Riverwatch, Wheeler Town Park, 25 acre shopping center, non stop flights to DC, $172 million Starbucks plant, $115 million Rockwood Plant"

Columbus has something comparable to that as well....I am sure Savannah and Macon do as well.
You guys can't even provide the correct MSA population, and always bring up surrounding counties to make your area seem bigger.. The 2010 census the MSA of Columbus was only 294,865 and not 301k...

Exactly what we are all saying.

Looks like you are in Tokyo, much rather be there than anywhere. Just got back from HK, Macau, Beijing, and Shanghai. Amazing places. Tokyo is definitely on the list.

I was born and raised in Augusta GA, You all have seen my ideas to improve the city. You all sit by and bash each other while millions of people are predicted to move to this state in the future. The point is we should be elevating and uplifting each others city not bashing them. I don't know about you guys but I don't want to be the one paying for millions of additional people moving to the Atlanta region, it's your taxes, highway infrastructure, water rates, and jobs. Whether Augusta, Savannah, or Columbus become the next great southern city the fact remains, it will help the state, because the engine of Atlanta is not going to stop anytime soon. I am taking a stand to make my town more competitive, because I don't want to live in a nightmare. The Atlanta Metro area in the next 30 years is scheduled to become the 6th maybe even 5th largest in the country. Our road ways can not handle it, so its cities like Columbus, Augusta, and Savannah that must pull from this mass.

And now for something completely different - YouTube





Both cities are heading in the right direction after years, if not decades of neglect!

I agree 100%, Atlanta is not going to stop its vaccum anytime soon; all of Georgia 2nd tier should be working together to attract some of that growth from Atlanta; Hopefully Macon can get some of that spawl since its closer to Atlanta.
