I have a really good idea of what daily life is like around where you live, its probably very similar to the suburbs around Dayton where I grew up.

We looked in PA and NY before moving and all we saw were overpriced shacks for rent, GA had new houses for the same or cheaper. When we saw the ad for this house it told us we were 20 minutes from Atlanta and said nothing about the Mall. This house didnt even show up in mapquest.

Why did we move so close to the mall though? Because we didnt know we were this close to the mall, there was no way of telling and we didnt have the luxury of coming down here to scout the area.. (even if we did, the traffic last year was nowhere close to how it is this year)

That being said, if someone is considering moving down here they can take a lesson from our experience and know how to avoid our experience.. unless of course if its what their looking for.
