Ahh, Georgia. You sure are a perplexing state. One minute you’re raining down frosty sleet, the next you’re allowing for a t-shirt and shorts. When will you ever make up your mind? Alas, you’re quite the unpredictable one, aren’t you? How can anyone ever decide to live in such a tumultuous state? In fact, here are 15 reasons why people should never, EVER move to Georgia…

  1. There are NO beautiful sunsets.

Flickr grahamvphoto None. Whatsoever. Don’t expect to see anything beautiful, perched high above those mountaintops or sitting on the sandy shores.

  1. Nature is sparse—we might as well be a desert.

Flickr mouse There is nothing green to look at ever. It’s like a barren wasteland of nothingness. Don’t expect to see anything pretty out in nature in Georgia. It’s like a scene from Mad Max.

  1. The food is really just gross.

Flickr Ralph Daily You can’t get any good food anywhere in Georgia. If you’re coming down to visit for vacation, be prepared to starve.

  1. The streets in Georgia, especially Main Streets, are hideous.

Flickr John LightComposer I mean, how could anyone comfortably walk down a Main Street like this. Where is the charm? Where is the small town finesse?

  1. And don’t even get me started on the architecture—gross!

Flickr JR P There is nothing special about Georgia architecture. Not that it is historically important, nor the fact it is so well cared for. It’s really just an eyesore. Where are the bulldozers when you need them?

  1. There are way too many sports teams.

  1. There is never anything fun to do.

Flickr atl10trader You’ll be bored all the time. There are never any farmers’ markets, never anything to do on the weekends, and NEVER any events or festivals. You might as well be living on the moon.

  1. The beaches are grotesque.

  1. There is never anything delicious grown in Georgia.

Flickr Susan Smith I keep looking for delicious Georgia-grown-goods and can’t seem to find any. Does Georgia even have any fresh produce anywhere? What about nuts? Pecans? Peaches? GAH!

  1. There are NO good places to camp.

Flickr Greg Williams Trying to escape the city life? Need a vacation from it all. Don’t go to Georgia. You’ll never find a place to camp. And if you do, it will certainly not be beautiful.

  1. The hiking is non-existent.

Flickr Nikki Frazier If you want to hike in Georgia, then good luck to you. There are only like, a few hundred trails. And almost all of them have sub-par views, like the one above.

  1. There is just too much BBQ in Georgia.

Flickr Jeffreyw Really, though. Who wants to eat succulent, tender, delicious pulled pork, spare ribs, doused in sweet, tangy BBQ sauce all the time?

  1. The landscape in Georgia really is abominable.

Flickr Evangelio Gonzalez Ugh. So many scenic vistas. So many utterly dreadful views. I mean, hello? Can we get a nice landscape view for once?

  1. The waterfalls are almost unbearably ugly.

Flickr Jimmy_Joe Too much water. Too much peaceful serenity. And wayyy too many waterfalls throughout the state. It’s almost like you pass a waterfall every few miles, and really, nobody loves waterfalls that much.

  1. Nobody cool ever came from Georgia.

Flickr Digital Collections UIC LIbrary Nobody cool. Nobody important. Nobody that changed history indefinitely. So if you expect greatness in your life…just don’t move to Georgia.

Obviously you know we have nothing but love for our beautiful state of Georgia 😉
