Macon, Georgia [All you need to know]

[emmalee]

I am not surprised to hear that Macon is not what you are cracking it up to be. Probably because of all the crack that gets dealt there. Yeah, I live in statesboro, nice but not wonderful. I used to live in Houston, TX. Third largest city in the US and I felt safer there than I do in Statesboro. I got gas at Macon once. ONCE.

The women are great, not all of them, and there very hard to find being middle georgia doesnt have many places to meet women besides a couple clubs, but there would really be no need to get rid of him now, it would cost the city, and his term is four months from being over, so it really doesnt matter.

I am considering moving to Macon from Cleveland Ohio and everytime I visit my family in Macon I have a wonderful time. Cleveland is definitely worse than Macon on the crime side and the unemployment rate. i am a newlywed looking for change if anyone has any suggestions for my husband and i please respond.

Wow.. I knew Cleveland was not great.. but worse than Macon?
I was in Cleveland not too long ago and found it to be not nearly as bad as I heard it was.
