My family and I have lived in Southwood for many years. When we first moved here we were very…read moreexcited and loved the community. However in the past couple years the Southwood covenants committee has taken over and I feel targeted my home. We have received multiple letters and fees charged to our home over the past couple years. This is not a way to live. As with most families in America my husband and I both work full-time. We cannot afford professional workers to work on our lawn or take care of the outside of our house. So we have to do it on the weekends. Our house is not perfect but it is nice. The biggest problem I have is not something I could control. We have a problem of birds pooping on my mailbox. I have painted the mailbox multiple times but they keep on pooping and you can't put up a fish line because it's against the covenant. So now I'm being fined because of something I can't control. If you have a choice do not move to Southwood it's a pain in the neck. I'm looking to move away because I just can't take it anymore. A very unhappy neighbor.

THE GREAT CITY OF THOMASVILLE, GA…read more The purpose of our visit to this area of Georgia was expressly for the purpose of attending the Victorian Christmas Festival. We arrived early on Thursday evening in order to get the lay of the land. We started walking toward the downtown area and BAM!! Suddenly everywhere I look I see these beautifully appointed historic buildings that just take my breath away and it just kept coming! Eventually, I was so distracted by my surroundings that I could not even focus on the festival. Yet, I still had a great time! If you love and appreciate historic architecture, this is one town you MUST visit. We took several pictures of the buildings and explored the downtown area as the workers continued to set up for the festival. When it comes to festivals, there are two things I need to see, a large banner at a primary entrance and an information booth or table that has t-shirts and souvenirs. I was disappointed because there was no banner, they simply had display boards that had the festival logo and social media symbols in very small print. I prefer the banner because when I arrive I photograph it and Yelp it in real time and it is also the primary photo for my review. So, where's my banner! The information table offered a visitor's guide but no souvenirs. When we attended a previous Victorian festival, I had an opportunity to purchase a commemorative mug to add to my collection. If not a mug, I love a t-shirt that is connected to my specific experience. I did not see anything available and just feel that this was certainly a missed opportunity to have visitors take a part of this great city with them. The downtown proprietors were ready for the visitors and put their best foot forward. There are a variety of shops downtown and I found myself drawn in by the beautiful buildings, great décor and overall ambiance. I am always drawn in by those shops that are different and unique: Enter the taxidermy shop. It was easily my favorite downtown shop due to its uniqueness and tasteful presentation. The employees were great as well. *** Not so great, the owner or employee standing in the doorway of "Kevin's" on Thursday night. I am going to need him to brush up on his "visitor's etiquette". In a city of roses, he was the only thorn! Bah Humbug! Prior to our trip, I bookmarked Jonah's as the place to stop for lunch or dinner. I was glad to see that they had an outside "Festival Table" so that we did not need to go into the restaurant. We wanted to continue to enjoy the festival atmosphere and eating outside on one of the benches was an ideal way to do so. The shrimp and grits served in a bowl were great and left me wanting more. On my next visit, I will definitely take time to further explore their menu. I would love to see a healthy casual restaurant, (Mediterranean, elevated Mexican), in the downtown area because much of what we saw was just too heavy and not quite casual enough. When I am shopping, I need to get it to go quickly so that I can keep it moving. Yet, I don't want to have to settle for a sandwich or something mediocre because I love prepared vegetables. Also, I believe that every small town should have a fine chocolate shop or a French bakery just to keep the people happy! If you are visiting, you must see the Old Oak Tree which is incredible and definitely my favorite landmark in Thomasville. Overall impression: This is a great city and that greatness is directly related to its residents and local visitors. I love a kind, engaging and well-mannered people and this town delivered in spades! Everywhere we went, we encountered nothing but kindness and politeness and that was certainly appreciated. Thomasville can be very proud of the great impression left with these visitors. In addition, I really appreciate all of those businesses and individuals who work so hard to preserve the historic buildings and homes that are a unique part of this community. When we visit small towns, we don't just stay in the common areas, we like to drive around and explore all areas of the community. Going off the beaten track tells us a lot about a community and we just loved driving around Thomasville and the surrounding areas, (Cairo, Tallahassee). Thanks Thomasville for a nice little "get-away" to help us refresh and gear up for the holidays. Merry Christmas to you all and may you all have a wonderful and prosperous New Year! *** A special shout out to the little Mennonite boy from Greigs Mennonite church. He was 10 years old and I believe his name was Joshua. This kid was adorable and a great ambassador for the city and his church.

The best part is they are privately funded, so it's not a job, it's a conviction for these people. I would love to see this place get a little more support from local philanthropist interests. .
