Douglas, Georgia INFO please (Commerce, Alma: relocating, job, houses)

[ElMar]

Finally, after more than two years of trying to relocate OUT of miserable Florida, we have finally found a place we will be calling home.

My husband got a job in Alma (Bacon County) and we will be moving to the city of Douglas (Coffee County)

Anyone with information on schooling, entertainment (parks, recreation, shopping, ect...) good areas vs. bad areas, will be greatly appreciated!! We are buying a house and relocating to the DOWNTOWN area (what a beautiful and quaint downtown!!) we will be very close to South Georgia College.

Like to know as much as possible from those who call (or once did) Douglas home.

Thanks so much. We can't wait to get out of Florida. Be relocating in the month of July, YEAH!!!

I live 18 miles south of Douglas, all of us in Atkinson County go to Douglas for our shopping and everything. Most from here go to South Georgia College after high school... So I could almost call Douglas somewhat a "home".

Alma is a very nice town also!

There is not all that many houses in downtown or near the college (how close are you trying to get)?

I wish you the best of luck. Douglas is one of the biggest and better cities in our area!!
