How can I start over in Atlanta?|163241

I would like to move to Atlanta from Wisconsin sooooooon, I know that I would have to start over in a new place but I don_t know how. I have a good work history and an associate_s in business and I am going for a degree in marketing. I just don_t know where to start with relocating. I was thinking of going to a shelter first and get help with them. My children would stay with family untill I at least find someplace and a job stable but I don_t know how to put this plan in motion because I don_t want to be away from my children, but I think that Atlanta is the place for me and my family.Do any one have any suggestions?

Atlanta is not a bad city. The traffic can be a nightmare, but the people are friendly, and the jobs are plentiful. I hats seeing people diss my city because they are jealous that they are stuck in an unhappy place. You don_t want to start off in a homeless shelter. When we had financial trouble some years back, we stayed in an extended stay hotel called the Hometown Lodge. It was only about 150 per week, and it was inclusive with your lights and water. You could work at Waffle House and pay for that while looking for more permanent work. Look at the websites listed above and call, but stay out of the homeless shelters! Hope it helps, and good luck!

i think you are going to get into a lot of trouble in atlanta. The jobs are hard to find that pay decent wages. The place is full of illegals and they got all of the jobs. only way you wil survive is if you have a skill that the average street person does not have then you may be able to get a job that will support you. it will be a long shot for you i_m sure.

most shelters in atlanta will not even take u unless u r an addict. they are mostly rehabs. if u have children, that makes it that much harder. in the shelters u have to be out by 6 am and back in by 5pm unless u have a note from ur manager or supervisor. it would be better if u and ur children could stay with family to get on ur feet. jobs are hard to come by cuz u got like 4 million ppl in atlanta and they are mostly illegals who will work for less that what u are willing to work for and the living costs are fairly expensive unless u wanna live in low income housing. thats no place to raise ur children. good luck on ur venture, i was thinkin of goin back too but then i remembered how hard it was when i was there. on the upside tho, they have trains and busses so its easier to get around if u did find a job. but i would look into some other places first.

People make up the complexion of a city, and this is what is so bizarre about Atlanta. It has a very sophomoric, low-brow social climate, and everyone oddly is exactly the same. There is intense geographic bigotry, the Atlantamatons don_t travel, and are very threatened by people from other places. I guarantee they will hate you for being a Northerner. It_s a town with a severe inferiority complex, so there is incessant, annoying boosterism. I lived there for over a year, and couldn_t wait to leave. It_s a no-character, no-personality town, and an absolutely a soul-destroying place to live.

Atlanta is the worst city in the country. Unfriendly, unhip, low-class, boring, and dangerous. Mercer rated it in _04 _The Worst Quality of Living in America_, in _05 _The Worst Quality of living in North America_, in _06 _The Second Worst Quality of Living in America_, (only because Houston moved down to the bottom). It is #2- #7 Most Dangerous City, depending on the list. It_s the city with absolutely no redeeming qualities. What would possibly make you think it_s the place for you and your family?
