I’ve lived in a couple of other states in my lifetime, but there’s nothing quite like home. If you’ve never experienced living away from Georgia, I have to tell you, it really sucks! Here are 10 things people miss the most about Georgia when they leave:
- Southern Food

- Family Get-Togethers

- Southern Hospitality

- All the greenery

- The beautiful mountains
Mikel Manitius via Flickr Speaking of greenery, you’ll surely miss our beautiful North Georgia Mountains. There are just no other mountains that can match the majesty of the ones found in Georgia.
- The Georgia coast

- The great weather
Evangelio Gonzalez via Flickr The temperate weather will definitely be missed. Yes it gets hot in the summer, but it’s pretty great in the winter, spring and fall. I’ll definitely say that great weather 75% of the year can’t be beat by most states.
- All the amazing history

We have the nation’s most complete set of Civil War artifacts and numerous national historical sites. The great history here definitely cannot be found anywhere else.
- Collegiate Football

- The small town feel
