Trash. Everyone is depressed and unemployed. 3 hate groups in the area. An overgrown Podunk town.

 

[Whore D'oeuvres]

It's a wack little southern city. Nothing important or particularly interesting about it. Lives in the shadow of Atlanta. Only claims to fame are James Brown and Pastor Troy. It's basically just like Macon or Columbus.

Trash as fukk.

I can't believe I've been here off and on for 15 years.


However,

Want some cheap property and a slower lifestyle. Maybe earn some extra income for a week or two by renting your spot out once a year during Masters. Want some good fishing spots. Seeking friendly encounters with strangers when you go out. Looking to settle down for good... this might be the place for you.



EDIT: There is a lot of history in this old ass city too. That adds a few points.

Augusta is cool. I like the Soul Bar on Broad Street. The Mall was packed, the restaurants are cool. It seems to be growing as of late, but it has a ways to go to be a real contender. I'm bias since my wife is from the CSRA.

What is CSRA?

Central Savannah River Area. My wife is from a town about 45 minutes south of Augusta.
