Hi there!
You're probably wondering why I am creating a blog about Statesboro, Georgia. Especially since I am not even from this town. Well here goes....
After growing up in Miami I always assumed I would forever be a "city-girl"! For years after I started Georgia Southern University, located in Statesboro, Georgia. I would complain how simple small towns were and how they couldn't hold a girl like me! Then I went home for a summer and along came Andrew! Oh it was special alright! A category 5 hurricane! Two weeks without electricity! Waiting in lines for hours to get gas to run the generator so that your grandmother could have one little AC unit going to cool her in a small room. Putting the gas in the generator around the clock! Ummmm....so not fun! National Guardsmen IDing you as you left your neighborhood. Crazy! I literally took a train out of town and really never looked back. Great for short visits but not to live there! No way!
Statesboro became my security! My no big hurricane refuge. And then to top it all off I met my husband! We fell in love instantly, married, started our family and deemed Statesboro our new home!
Over the years Statesboro has amazed me! It has really grown and even during these tough economic times Statesboro still shines!
I will be highlighting all of Statesboro's attributes through this blog and hope you enjoy reading about them!
