Born and raised in the Macon, GA area. Every reference you made, I know very well and have so many memories in quite a few places. I even know the Mediterranean spot you are referring to that is really mid.
Macon is not so much a place for singles wanting to ‘hookup’ but more for singles who have a shared interest…especially for church groups. And the downtown era is the closest you gonna get.
And there is an Amazon warehouse in Macon, GA. It’s in between Hartley Bridge Road and Sardis Church Rd. I think the road it is on is Skipper Rd
@@enigmatowles thank you so much for giving us some insight on your experiences and knowledge as a true Macon native. ❤️
Damn Amazon take a week in Macon? Wow! The have same day delivery or 2 day delivery all over the ATL.🤔
@@gheechiedan9299 yes I miss this I miss Amazon fresh as well 🤦🏽♀️
12:11 the Macon mall is basically a damn museum now...with a few stores and about 5 restaurants in it. People use it mainly to walk for exercise and meet up. The businesses left years ago when the big mall fight happened and made the news lol.
@@brianattyberry I saw that it was wild we went for trunk or treat last year and that’s about it lol
@@livingwithlex-x that's all you can go for down there. The best restaurant they had down there just left. Talking about bourbon Street grill. You should see videos on what it used to be. What I grew up with was on par with the Mall of Georgia, but with only 2 levels)
@@brianattyberry I saw it months ago I went down the rabbit hole of the timeline of Macon mall purely out of curiosity 😂
@@livingwithlex-x smh I'm sorry you had to see it lol. We miss it too but we get it. Marvel and other big Hollywood studios are doing things down here so that's helping. We'll see how the new auditorium will do long term but it's not the same at all.
There are a lot of clubs downtown and lots of hookah bars as well. There is 567 Art and the Art Alliance for sipping and painting.
26:26 Lizella is a nice spot for that too, especially if you dont wanna live in Macon but need to be close to it for work or something.
@@brianattyberry I agree my cousin bought land out there. It’s very affordable, quiet and laid back.
@@livingwithlex-x that's definitely where I'd go, if not WR, Centerville or Byron. Maybe Kathleen. Tired of Macon but my and my wife's family are here so we kinda need to stay close.
Hey there! I moved here from San Diego back in 2016! Love it! I’m in 31220! Downtown has LOTS of amazing restaurants and the music scene is great (the new amphitheater is awesome)! Our area is awesome up off Zebulon by the golf course). ❤️ I could definitely give you some tips!
@@jeniphirs would love some tips and other who come across this video as well. I’m glad you made the big move congratulations ❤️
@@livingwithlex-x so I’ll preface this all this with I’m married so no this isn’t from a single woman’s perspective. Food: Piedmont and Ocmulgee are awesome downtown spots. The Rookery has LOTS of amazing burger options (The Jimmy Carter is my fave). Best dine in pizza is IVP (Ingleside village Pizza). Our favorite takeout is Marcos. Ninja is pretty good for sushi. I do miss the wide variety of good Asian food. We do love the proximity to Atlanta for more ethnic options.
@@livingwithlex-x love the shoppes at riverside for Ulta, Bath & Body Works, Sephora, and DSW. I’m not a huge clothes shopper so when I want to go shopping for clothes I have no problem making a trip.
@@jeniphirs me and my hubby will be going out more so we’ll definitely try these places. Thank you so much for dropping some gems for us ❤️
@@jeniphirs that’s dope, we do the same they have a good jewelry store selection in that area. For clothes we love Express and H&M ❤️
Born and raised in Macon,Ga
Lake Wildwood subdivision is not the place to go for access to the lake.
Lake Tobesofkee is it is 5 min from the back gate of Lake Wildwood. Lake Tobesofkee has three different parks: Arrowhead Park, Sandy Beach, and Claystone Park.
The rookery downtown has the best burgers
Ingleside village pizza or Macon pizza company
Startup studio have different types of class like glass blowing.
The Cherry Blossom Festival is in March.
Burger Week is in October featuring different restaurants around town each day
Bragg Jam Music Festival in July.
There is an Amazon warehouse in Macon off of i475/i75 South Hartley Brigde Road area.
I definitely agree with you on macon not being a city for singles lol. Most people are taken and settling down. Macon will run singles out the town and to Atlanta. Lol. It's nearly impossible for singles who move/visit macon to date to find anyone. 😂
You are right not a place for single ppl. My sister and I will be moving out of Macon soon for that reason😂😂
@@Beenabela 😂
Summer house in lake wildwood is wild 😂
@@investingwithzo 😂 your right it is ❤️
There are many places in downtown Macon to find really tasty burgers. Five Guys can be a hit or miss. Totally agree with you on Tenmii!
@@dmew3960 I’m definitely looking forward to exploring all the eateries in downtown Macon I’ve heard of and thought of so many places I want to visit. And I did not know they had an Amazon warehouse down here that sounds dope as far as development and convenience ❤️
6:47 you probably wont. My wife and i were looking around for a spot to move out there and the Vineville area but they're pretty scarce.
I like vineville but your right housing is definitely scarce
😂❤
6:09 right because those lofts are crazy expensive
@@brianattyberry yes definitely for the area
I left and raised my kids here in Atlanta we holding on everybody is grown now
Welcome, I’ve been here since December but lived here a couple of years ago. It’s cheaper and has grown a lot. We’re definitely neighbors. I’m in 31211 so with that being said hiiii neighbor. I’m new to your channel so I would like to know more about investing in real estate
@@kiathegoddess9273 HEH NEIGHBOR!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and welcome to the channel. I will be making a video about my process too I’m not sure when I’ll upload but it will be coming within the next month. Thank you for welcoming me 💕
22:19 i aint from Philly but Hypewings has my favorite cheese steaks
I tried them sorry, I don’t like they cheesesteaks lol but it’s not the worse tasting cheesesteak
@@livingwithlex-x I fell in love with the bulgogi ones lol
@@brianattyberry 😄
Omg I lived there in 1993 1996 I didn't like it they still close up at 12:00 pm be in the house???????😅😅😅😅😅😅
I'm from Macon! We didn't close at 12p. Don't know who you were with. But we partied and had a blast, and when the shots rang out, it was time to go home😂😂😂
For pizza, I recommend Ingleside Village Pizza ... Thanks for the video 😊😊
Thank you for the reference I will definitely try them ❤️
Yes a lot of investors have purchased distressed properties and are just waiting
@@melindalumpkin9405 yes! We kind of did the same.
Come down to Macon Water Ice while you are here
@@PPCRecords sounds exciting we miss some good water ice. We’ll slide through ❤️
YES, those WINGS ARE INCREDIBLE. Too many flavors to try in one visit. The Bourbon Peach was great.
❤
I loved Cory bells it's gone now 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Honeyyy!!that was the best. Before nasty juicy crab
Isn’t the ranger oulet in Locust Grove?
@@stephenreidy1 Technically, Yea.
The new mall
Is Macon ga, a Bible Belt community? Are the people big on going to church on Sunday?
@@angeladavislive From what I see. There are a lot of crosses on lawns and they are very involved with holidays not sure if this helped
Yes, Bible belt. A lot of religion, not necessarily relationship.
Bible belt means nothing. there's a lot of racism here. there are sundown towns too...
All of those cities you mentioned WR/Centerville, Forsyth, etc; those are suburbs and a part of the Macon Metro area. That's why when Macon is mentioned, those cities come up, and Macon is the Hub city of Middle Georgia. You got to really work on your pronunciations of the places around Macon, lol. Tanger Outlets is not McDonough, that Locus Grove and Sandy Springs is not near Macon. However, Macon is really up and coming.
@@yerocal30 ok thank you for watching. ❤️
20:19 did you not go to Homeland Village on Napier?
How is the job market?
@@angeladavislive honest opinion… I’m not sure because I don’t actively look consistently but it seems pretty dry out here depending on what you do for a living.
Some manufacturing jobs available
Just a bit up the road a bit is Monroe County, their property taxes are way less than Macon-Bibb County’s.
They are NOT paying more here...not in Macon.
Are you a realtor?
@@stephenreidy1 unfortunately no, but I am an Mortgage Loan Originator for the state of Georgia and a real estate developer. ❤️
@@livingwithlex-xcan you do a mortgage for an investment property out there?
@@stephenreidy1 only if it’s a primary residence.
lake 'toe be sof kee'
@@CapricornDayz Thank you ❤️.
Don't be fooled. Don't move to macon unless you have a lot of money. dont think a job here will pay you well to afford a decent place in macon.
I agree if you are going to move down here you definitely have to have money or a plan
Cars on grass is not even ghetto, it’s disgusting behavior.
@@ShayLetsTalk 😩😂
downtown is not safe at night...
It was the gangs trying to get my son's ok ??????? No I didn't like it at all
That’s a point too. I hear you sis!
