It actually happened when i first moved to GA, which was summer of 05.
To me, i wouldnt necessarily say Fayettevilles demise is because of clayton county, but that part of the neighborhood has been getting rough. With several cars getting jacked from the pavilion, the hostage situation in the theater, the guy getting abducted outside of hotlanta wings, it seems like fayetteville has let its guard down.
Just read the Citizen and you can see the arrest record for the week yourself. I grew up in Fayetteville, lived there since 98). Correct Clayton County is not all bad, but the bad parts are what lies on Fayette county borders and those residents are the cause for most of the crime in the city of Fayetteville.
Worst Cities in GA. Source - Wsb News.
Riverdale - high crime and poor schools make this one an awful choice.
Norcross - Mostly non-English speaking residents, likely to alienate anyone that doesn't speak at least one of the many languages represented here. Gangs abound as does crime.
College Park - Great place to go to college, not a great place to go to school or leave a car unattended
Forest Park - Again, crime and poverty abound, some of the states worst schools.
Sandy Springs - The city may try to "nicen" it up, but the traffic is horrendous and the crime and schools are some of the worst. There ARE nice neighborhoods in Sandy Springs, but the rentals are what makes it not as nice to live there.
Clayton.. Just saying..
The worst County in GA handsdown.
Well, I'm glad I'm in Cobb then....
Definitely ain't what it used to be that's for sure.Quote:

since when has locust grove gotten bad?? i have lived here for quite some time, since luella high school was built. before that i lived in lovejoy as a kid...lovejoy high school was the absolute worst school i could imagine... got ganged like 4 times because i wasnt "thug life'. the only place i would stay away from in locust grove would be the super cheap hotels by the interstate...other than that no worries. now when the new wal-mart comes...who knows what will happen, i'm just glad i live 15 minutes + from any commercial areas and wont have to worry about it, it is still pretty country out this way.
as far as henry county goes, from stockbridge down seems decent, it gets alot better eagles landing area and south from there. far south henry county is about as quiet as you can get being relatively close to atlanta and the interstate...maybe coweta county has some places like that too.. not sure . there is also alot of cool things in the area ie: noah's ark , a little further is daucet trails, lake jackson etc..
I lived for about three years in Williamsburg South Apartments. In the early 2000's. Later, QD.
FOREST PARK AERAAAA
It was in '03. The guy that did it was a former employee.Quote:

Ummm Locust grove started getting bad once they started building the hotels ...NOW watch !!! since the Wal-mart is getting built watch what happens crime will go up 60% easy and with the poor locust grove PD , they will need to add atleast 50 more officers to make up for it .Quote:

I still havent moved. I started looking at homes in Tyrone, Ga. I decided to hold down the fort for a while longer. Knock on wood.......i have not had any problems.
Tyrone's a nice area. Albeit a little hickish and boring but definitely a great place to live. Where around there?
