Well, it sure does not paint a pretty picture for Columbus!!
Thank goodness everything at the base is nearly brand new(with a ton of brand new homes/apts.
I do notice that most on base military families never leave into Columbus except for an occasional meal or special gift with many complaints of dealing with very rude and unfriendly people around town.
I guess this must be the southern mentality I was warned about before we arrived.

Macon is NOT the economic engine of central Georgia. That would be Atlanta. I can go off and name facts about Greenville that would whoop Macon's butt but it still wouldn't change anything. No city is better than the other.
