Hi Everyone

I just have a general concerned. I've been on the out skirts of toccoa and I was looking at property to move there. I want to be in the country setting. I have 5 kids and want to move them in a slower area. We need acreage and I came across some property that was reasonable.

But I looked at the demographics and the Black population there was very low. I'm not a prejudice person at all but, my concern is: when you move into a town that has not been used to change or multi-cultural setting SOME people are not wanting or willing to except that change in their town. It's understandable to because it's change and I would like to hear from some of you and your preception on this matter. I don;t want to enroll my kids in school and there's issues like hate and my teen and would have a hard time getting a job.
You know I would like to just have some honesty on this.

I have searched all over for information about the city, but have only found basic census stats. I know it's a small city, but I wonder about the demographics. I am not a person who goes to church. I see that that is the main community in that region. I am used to city living with nightlife. I heard from other people at my company that there is no nightlife there. Can anyone tell me more about that city, as far as what people who live there are like. Interests, hobbies, etc.

I don't want to apply for this job if I will be bored to death after relocating!


Thanks!

Why do you think church would bore you? Youi might like it. The rest end up in jail .

I recently attended a football game at Stephens County High (Toccoa) as a visitor. My team was a 85% black team, and all of the football players and fans were treated with great respect. The Stephens County team seemed to be about 10% black.

Also, Stephens County is not new to change, and I look at it as an overall progressive community that is seeking to grow, not remain a "backwater".
