I guess it's all that inbreeding

On the list of the worst places to live? Why was LaGrange, Georgia left out of that? Snobs live here

[DisgustaTruth]

Snobs in LaGrange?? What in the heck do they have to be uppity about? They live in LaGrange, GA for God's sake?

I live in a town with >10,000. I have lived in a town with 50K and liked them both.
I am a Mom of 4 so:
good schools
safe town
population <50K
I just want a nice place to live without problems. No town with factories that produce odor. This may sound funny but I was told by others that some areas have this problem. Smell. Is that even true!?!

I live in Griffin, and I love Griffin...BUT our crime is much higher than average. a very large part of the population is on probation. I have heard from several people that Griffin has more people infected with HIV than any city in GA. Not many decent jobs. a lot of poverty. crack is a big problem in Griffin. A lot of alcoholism. very poor school system. does lots of fundraisers. Griffin, GA is not a place to raise kids..esp. if they're in highschool.

fayetteville is a very nice, clean, newer city. I don't think they have any factorys. They have sidewalks for golf carts. everybody has golf carts! fayetteville seems like the utopian city. Chem green lawns, great school system, lots of shopping areas and a good dollar theater. Peachtree city is close to fayetteville, and is equally nice.

Thomaston is a quaint little city. It seems like another small american town, cute and cozy. Great church fellowships. But the other side of the town... my boyfriend is from new york city, and Thomaston is the only place he's had guns pulled on him...3 times. Meth is becoming a problem in thomaston.

The Buckhead is beautiful, if you can afford it. A lot of million dollar homes. An outdoor ampitheater where i've gotten to see fiona apple, fleetwood mac,
and bob wiess. It's really cool because you don't have to buy tickets to hear the show. Horse clubs and stuff, good schools.

I lived in East Point for a while
clayton county has a lot of crime.
McDonough is an industrial city.

A little too perfect, creepy. Reminds me of the Stepford Wives

I agree.. and that whole golf cart thing is pretty weird.

It's amazing that the original "poster" hasn't had anything to say for a long time. Do you think he or she just wanted to start some crap to get everyone to "put the glove on?"

You know, life is tough enough without the extra negativity be expressed.

You're right. This is the never-ending thread, and the original poster is nowhere to be found.

If you bother to read all of the posts to this thread you will see a pattern..
In the 5 worst Category... Albany, Augusta, and Macon routinely are mentioned.
