So, that's why I wouldn't mind going back if need be. The whole dating scene issue *would* be a concern, but that seems to be the issue no matter *where* I am (just MHO; refer back to the "marrying kind" statement).   |
Really Soror, I live in Lithonia!!
I don't usually meet many people from Lithonia.The area is pretty nice, sure there are some areas that aren't so nice but thats anywhere. The housing situation is pretty good. There are tons of jobs avaibable in the area. Dekalb County(which Lithonia and Decatur are in) is actually the second wealthiest county in the country for Blacks. Overall, I would give ATL a chance., and I'm not just saying that because I'm from ATL. We have some of the best law firms in the country, not to mention some really good universities.
