    Except there are no Americans in the area other than angry Yankee New Yorkers. It's 90% vibrant.

    Whew....I thought a halfback was a guy who pitches half of the time and catches the other half. I must be parking in the wrong places!:rolleyes:

    Why Macon ?

    hope you’re looking at least 25-30 miles out of Macon .
    the violent crime in and near Macon is something to avoid.

    same with Atlanta .
    When I lived near Atlanta we never went inside 285 after dark, and we stayed out of Fulton , DeKalb , and Clayton county after dark.

    Yeah I'm not gonna be inside any city limits of any kind IF we relocate. Wife wants to go to Louisiana, I don't. So Georgia was a nice compromise we figured. Wanna be somewhere with little traffic, away from big city sprawl. Somewhere that still has mom and pop diners to eat breakfast at, local owned stores to buy everything from. The reason I mentioned Macon was a particular house on a nice looking piece of property I found on Zillow for what I feel is pretty cheap. The house sits on Coulter lake, which looks like a large pond really. Just thought it'd be a nice property, but I see it's really close to the very thing I'm trying to escape.

    Up here where we are in PA, there's an abundance of warehouses being built along the I-81 and I-78 corridor, which isn't far from where we live. I've seen beautiful farms and whole town's ruined by this growth. And a growth in traffic to go with with it. And I know the developers are looking further off the interstate to build housing for the people working in said warehouses. So then we'll have subdivisions, with a whole bunch of Karen's to go with it, and later on we'll have the higher taxes that come with Karen's.

    Just in the little valley where I live, I watched Walmart build a store, run almost every little mom and pop store out of business, and now just about every chain store I hate dealing with is in the area. Used to be a quiet area. Not so much anymore. There used to be two red lights in this valley. Traffic was never an issue. Now we have twice the red lights, twice the traffic, with plans to put more crap up by Walmart, and every time they do that, another #### red light. So its soon time to get the heck out of this area.

    Mid to latter 2000 decade, 53' Dry Van loaded to tail, not over 30k, to me-ah-me, floor-i-duh, "discovered end of I-95", seeking an address on 185th (st., ave, blvd.?), to learn 2 different areas with same street, (southwest, northeast??).
    South was nice, north looked like war zone/ghetto.
    Glad then it was still daylight.
    On a short Pay (toll) road twice.
    No locate customer so 85 miles up 95 to flying-j till next morning with proper directions.
    Made delivery, never again much below I-4.
    CHEERS!!
