For example when you get tired of eating your food whatever left you throw it in the trash that what atlanta doing to all the smaller cities. All the roads and major interstates point to atlanta no were else, when augusta start to grow some balls and start taking those opportunities from atlanta and get some interstates ending augusta so we can get that traffic like they do.

You can't just magically make an interstate pass thru your town...

How comparable are the Augusta and Columbia metro areas. Doesn't columbia have a hockey team? (NHL)

[whitmans77]

no they dont

[All4Augusta]

Ok but still Columbia is a booming metro aren't our two cities almost the exact same size?

[whitmans77]

very comparable with the major exceptions being columbia is a state capital and the university of south carolina. What does columbia have that have that we need?

[nortonguy]

Augusta and Columbia are comparable in size.. Columbia is the city people use most often to compared against Augusta.... The demographics of each city are more comparable than I initially thought...

Columbia: total population 767,598
White 60%
Black 33%
Asian 1.7%
Hispanic 5.1%

Augusta: total population 556,877
White 58%
Black 35%
Asian 1.7%
Hispanic 4.4%

So right, I can just see another Coney Island brewing, where thugs snatched pocketbooks and bickered to make it their exclusive territory until they drove it into the ground. You'd need a Carry and Conceal just to go to the restroom before the park was 6 months in unless there was a deputy every 100 feet. I'm sure nortonguy will beg to differ, but just look into the history of the Regency Mall (it is what it is, nortonguy.)

Lol, you and Vegas430 are the same person... He made the same(the arena never sells out) false statements over and over again similar to you.. It's not a coincidence he's not a member anymore on the site.. As usual Vegas430 claimed to be from a Atlanta suburban area(Woodstock).. Pinebridge, Par4him, etc all claimed to live in suburban Atlanta too..

Yeah, it's a shame there's nothing to do in Augusta. If only there were an art museum there. Or a history museum! They could do exhibits on native Georgians like Ty Cobb or James Brown. Oooh, or would it kill them to build a science museum? It could be a Fort where you Discover things! Man, that would be a great idea. Too bad it's not there.
