It is a totally red county, but the people here are nice despite their political leaning. I love the Atlanta area. I moved here in 1989 from Miami and I would never go back there. My daughter lives in South Florida, and she knows if she wants to see me she has to come up here.

When I first moved here, I had no problem finding work. I had quite a few good-paying jobs, but was laid off my last one where I had been for 13 years. That was OK because I had been thinking of retirement for a while. The company was good to me and gave me a great severance package, so I have no complaints.
