Quote HistoryQuoted: Man.... All y'all old timers in here.... Talking about Macon being good in the late '70s to early 80's..... Maybe, just maybe a few parts of it IMO were ok...Even as a kid back then I hated Macon.... The only saving grace Macon had back then was the Orange Julius at the Mall before it started going downhill & Finchers BBQ .... Well, y'all probably liked Whiskey River too. But to hell with Pio Nono Ave & the rest of that place. Tobesofkee was nice for sure. But the rest of Macon sucked IMO. It went to 100% sh*thole real quick. My mother worked at the big hospital there in the ER at nights & it was like Grady Memorial in Atlanta because of the shootings going on. sh*thole |

I'm as old as dirt, and as far back as I can remember it's ALWAYS been the same behavior with some "people". Never changes. Make excuses and look the other way, march with them and support them, give them everything they demand while you place them on a fucking pedestal, and things only keep getting worse.

Macon is the kind of place you make sure you have enough fuel to get through and keep your doors locked.

Macon has some great areas to visit. Twenty years ago it was a good place to go shopping or a quick get away on a Sunday to have lunch.
Today Macon is like a mini Atlanta. Extremely vibrant. |

Little Chicago. Every weekend. They’ve been having weekly anti violence meetings all summer. Elephant in the room. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I constantly get bombarded with job offers from a Mercedes dealer in Macon,telling me how nice and safe it is. North Macon is not that bad. I was talking to a local LEO and we discussing his carry gun. He said he carried a Glock, but when he went to Macon, his AR15 was in the front seat. |

Local guy here, at least until I can retire.
Macon-Bibb is up to 37 homocides this year, I think. 3 over the weekend, including this one. Technically, one was shot Thursday night, but expired Saturday. Per capita, Macon is as violent as Baltimore. Chicago gets the press, but Baltimore is worse. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Southeastern? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I almost signed on with a flight school there back in 2001. One look at their airplanes and the surrounding area and I said nope. Good thing too, the flight school had a fatal crash and soon went out of business. Southeastern? Yes, that was it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Remember eating at Morrison’s and the Quails Nest? Good eating. And Nu-Way, Shakey's on Riverside, picking up MILFs at the Sand Trap (Clap Trap) Lounge at Idle Hour golf course. The State Fair was a trip. Lot's of hippy freaks in the early 70's. Just watching the people was as fun as the fair rides. I still have family who moved south of Macon and I went to Ocmulgee Brew Pub in downtown Macon on a weekday for lunch. It was actually pretty decent. |

OBP and Piedmont are both good, but I stay out of downtown after about 7-8. They had a double murder on Cherry Street outside of a bar about 2 weeks ago. Same MO and group of people...got in a fight, started shooting. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quentavious... @OhioEd https://www.names.org/n/quentavious/about Fun Facts about the name Quentavious Random Quentavious Factoid: According to the 2009 U.S. Social Security Administration data, the first name Quentavious is not a popular baby boy's name in Georgia. Imagine that, only 5 babies in Georgia have the same name in 2009. Weird things about the name Quentavious: The name spelled backwards is Suoivatneuq. A random rearrangement of the letters in the name (anagram) will give Naivustqoeu. How do you pronounce that? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Learned to fly at Herbert Smart Airport in 1976 and took my check ride there. Lot’s of very fond memories. Used to fly 182's for Ga Forestry. Flew into Macon downtown a few times dropping off and picking up airplanes. A buddy of mine owned a small far outside of Macon and I spent some time there helping him clear the place around mid 1980's I think. Didn;t seem like a bad place then but I lived in north GA so other than driving through I didn't ever know much about downtown Macon. |

Did he Glock-leg himself, or did he mess with the wrong homie? Story is he got two in the chest. Apparently he failed to social distance while brandishing his problem solver and got all his problems solved for him. |

All the local leadership is bemoaning that this happened, even with all their violence prevention programs (slush funds to be funneled into pockets).
