lol, dude it's not black people's fault that you did whatever you did. It sounds like you're pissed because you did something, got in trouble, and dont agree with the punishment. Well, if you hadn't been involved in whatever it was that you were, you wouldnt be in the situation you are in.

Also, some black people hate whites, just like some whites hate blacks, thats just life and you can't change the evil way of thinking of those people, but to change GA's motto to the "black people hate white people" state....LMFAO!!!.....dude, It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that during the history of this state, black people have been treated alot worse than whites, so stop crying.

How long have or/did you live in Savannah? What other areas have you previously resided? What was your biggest turn-off regarding Savannah?

Oh, think those places are bad? It can get a lot worse! There’s only one “worst” on my list, but I can almost guarantee after reading this you’ll agree that Heard County, Georgia deserves to take the prize. In fact, this place probably qualifies for ALL FIVE “Worst” places, all by itself!

Who could ever imagine that a rural Georgia county would resort to using an incompetent joke of a water utility to basically commit a hate crime against a citizen? And try to run that citizen out of the beloved home their ancestors built four generations ago because some county yokels have decided they might possibly be gay?

Heard County’s rogue water authority bungled their way into a one-for-the-record-books infrastructure blunder in my front yard, and then set about to destroy my life so they could get away with it. Their heavy vibration, years of leaking under my property, and other bizarre effects, which they have REFUSED to fix for the past three years, have damaged my health, as well as my home; and wrecked my life. For 18 months I’ve been forced to sleep in a camper. (Oh, and ALL this water is part of a mysterious water sale FOR PROFIT across state lines into Alabama, with this county under an outdoor watering ban throughout most of the time this has been occurring.)

After I filed suit to stop their destruction of my property, the Heard County Water Authority slandered and trashed me and my deceased family members, and nicknamed me the "Water Witch" (which frankly, I consider a back-handed compliment considering the source!) The Director told my consulting engineer outright that the Heard County Water Authority is “not going to do anything” about this problem, and even had the gall to tell him that throughout his career he’d gotten rid of other people like me complaining about their property being damaged by utilities, and that if you drag it out long enough, sooner or later “they all run out of money or just go away.”

The Heard County government got into the act and along with the Water Authority, began making up bogus criminal charges against me, and directed a campaign of harassment clearly designed to intimidate me from pursuing litigation for this damage. When they couldn’t scare me off, I was maliciously arrested over the Christmas 2007 holidays on made-up felony charges. But that’s not the half of it. Apparently, they tried to send me to prison only after somebody explained to this crowd that they wouldn't be able to get me declared "crazy" just because a relative committed suicide years ago, and I'm a still-attractive woman who hasn't been married even one time, let alone a half-dozen!

And it appears that fact I’m not “lookin’ for a man in these here parts” really has some of them wrapped around the axle. Seems they’ve decided I just might be GAY, and think that gives them some right to run me out of the county, rather than fix their screw-up. I’m about ready to petition that the “a” be dropped and the name of this county be changed to “Herd!”

You won't find better weather, more things to do anywhere else. I would say that people here are great, but now with so many transplants, it's becoming tough.

METRO ATLANTA - includes 13 counties

1. Alpharetta - The high appreciation, parks, schools and shopping make this the most sought after location outside of the city. The drawbacks are traffic to and from Atlanta and the high prices.

2. Suwanee - Named by money magazine as one of the top 10 places to live. Suwanee has parks, great schools access to many great shopping opportunities and it continues to grow. Housing is extremely affordable as well.

3. Marietta - Marietta is one of the most convenient cities on the north side. It has decent schools, slightly high prices and a few parks. It's very convenient to Atlanta. The east side of the city features one of the best schools in Georgia. Several athletes have come out of the high schools here.

4. Peachtree City - Or "pilot city" - this city is where a lot of the pilots live from Hartsfield. The schools are better than the average South Atlanta school and price are reasonable. Out of the areas south of I-20, this one has some of the lowest crime statistics.

5. McDonough - I'm trying to name cities all around Atlanta, so this one makes the list. Usually it doesn't come close. Homes are very affordable and the schools are slightly above average.

Other Great Cities: Lawrenceville, Dacula, Grayson, Snellville, Duluth, Roswell, Cumming, Vinings, Kennesaw, and Dallas.

Worst Cities

1. Riverdale - high crime and poor schools make this one an awful choice.
2. Norcross - Mostly non-English speaking residents, likely to alienate anyone that doesn't speak at least one of the many languages represented here. Gangs abound as does crime.
3. College Park - Great place to go to college, not a great place to go to school or leave a car unattended.
4. Forest Park - Again, crime and poverty abound, some of the states worst schools.
5. Sandy Springs - The city may try to "nicen" it up, but the traffic is horrendous and the crime and schools are some of the worst. There ARE nice neighborhoods in Sandy Springs, but the rentals are what makes it not as nice to live there.

you forgot to mension cobb low crime good schools and jobs

Any and all information always welcome.
Thank you

The whole damn state is the pits.
Don't move here if you can avoid it.

Technically speaking, Mableton isn't really a city ... it's more a defined region like Vinings or East Cobb.

It used to be a town 90 years ago, though.

I love it here in Mableton, though the main things I enjoy are admittedly in Smyrna or Marietta. Or Vinings. Or Cumberland. But they're all fairly close.

I lived in Albany, Ga. for about 13 years. Liked the city, has good roads easy to get from place to place. Offers different cultural and other events (from theater to rodeo) Just got tired of the folks there. I mean they can be really sweet. Can't count how many times perfect strangers would stop to help me out when I had car problems. But in other ways they are too traditional. Not fun being a single person and living there.
