Thumbs down New to Gainesville!!??
I have lived in the Gainesville area for about two years now and it is so boring!!! I mean where do you go to meet people? I was born and raised in memphis tn where everyone knows everyone, and not used to meeting new people. So far I have not met anyone that I would actally enjoy hanging out with! Any suggestions cause I am not one to go to the club by my lonesome. I am currently married and would even love to find other couples to hang out with cause its getting kinda lonely.....

Newgirl, I feel your pain. I moved here 6 months ago and HATE it. I have met a few people, but nothing like back home. Everything is different here.

Default yikes! is Gainesville GA that bad?
Wowee, I am thinking about moving to that area from beautiful west Michigan. I'm a Southerner, but I've been gone a long time. Should I reconsider???

I was expecting some "southern hospitality"...people that say hey when they walk by, hold the door for you...etc. Just isn't happening here. It's also a little more difficult to get a job here, unless you can speak spanish.

What were you expecting, exactly? Gainesville isn't exactly a huge employment hub, so all you're likely to find is service positions, and yes, many of those will require you to Habla Espanol, unfortunately. I'm thinking a little more research prior to moving was in order.......

What about church? I don't know what your religious beliefs are, but in a community the size of Gainesville I would imagine that they run the gamut. Most have Sunday School classes for young marrieds.
Also, what about the civic organizations in Gainesville? Volunteer groups?
If you're new in a community, you can't wait for the mountain to come to Mohammed...
