Georgia really is a phenomenal state—not just for people who live here full time, but also for anyone who visits. There are so many reasons why Georgia is wonderful, it’s hard to narrow them down (although, you can bet we’ve sure tried in the past). But there still may be some naysayers out there who bash on Georgia, for reasons that are beyond me. So, it’s high time we shut those haters down and explain, with factual reasoning, why Georgia rules. So the next time you hear someone hating on this fine state, you can use these 14 reasons as some substantial ammunition. Check it out:
1. Are you voting this upcoming election, and you're under 21 years old? You can thank Georgia.
James Brown, James E. Carter, Ray Charles, Alan Jackson, Martin Luther King Jr., Gladys Knight, Margaret Mitchell, Burt Reynolds, Jackie Robinson, Joanne Woodward, Trisha Yearwood, and Julia Roberts to name a few.
5. Where else can you see wild horses grazing wind swept sand dunes?
According to Safewise's safest cities in Georgia report, Georgia has a whole slew of safe cities to live in, plus owning a home isn't just a pipe dream in those neighborhoods. There are plenty of affordable housing opportunities in Georgia that you may not experience elsewhere.
7. Do you drink Coca-Cola? Then you can't hate on Georgia.
