Thanks for doing this wonderful video of my hometown. My favorite city in the world. And your right, there is so much more to it than just the Masters.
@@LongLeggedOne I love it here. It has so much to offer. Shopping, dining, entertainment, including live music, dance and plays. The imperial Theatre puts on a gorgeous production of The Nutcracker every year. And there's lots of water if you're into that. You can go boating, swimming, skiing or tubing on Lake Thurmond. Same as the Savannah River. It really offers a lot.
@@jenniferrichardson8474 It all looks nice but as I was asking questions, people will talk how the politics and the judges, cops are corrupt, how big of an issue is that to most? and I find the people who complained about stuff like that, tended to have issues themselves at times. I knew someone who got banned from 2 towns in FL + had issues in another county. And I didnt want to stop in some of those places, but at the same time if I did, I wouldnt get banned. It has to be total lockdown if I did. Not covid lockdown but just tough as nails to go to a place like that, even to shop. Between speed traps, cops suspicious like u might not live in town.. that kinda stuff. Is Augusta that bad? someone mentioned this to me about cops and judges being so corrupt that he might wanna move to the country. Now the appeal to me is that its not Savannah and Atlanta. I dont think I could live in those tbh. Savannah seems like little New Orleans. Tight parking in a lot of places etc. I dont like that and huge crowds. Thats the stuff Im looking to leave.
Ok, I was born and raised here and, despite having lived in many other places in Georgia and other states, Augusta will always be home for me. Being from here I can honestly say that, like cities all over the U.S., it has it's beautiful places and it's disgusting places. This vid was amazing quality and captures a lot of the downtown Riverwalk area but Augusta is way bigger than that small amount showed here. The pace here is kinda in the middle, meaning there aren't horrific traffic jams or people being piled on top of each other because of limited living space and it isn't some middle of nowhere country town with 2 restaurants and 3 gas stations and one grocery store. People say it's a retirement town or just somewhere people just move here to work but, it's so much more than that. People here usually take the time to talk to each other when going into a store or restaurant and when someone is in need of help or something, we come together and do all we can to lend a hand. I'll admit that there isn't much to do activity wise since they've taken away so much of the fun things that used to be here, but Augusta is practically an hour or two away from all the places in Georgia that offer those things, and with North Augusta and Aiken area right across the bridge in S.C., there's plenty of access to more activities. It's almost exactly in between Atlanta and Savannah and there are also many places in South Carolina, like Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Charleston, that aren't more than a couple hours away. So Augusta has the beneficial advantage of having access to many different places without driving 3-4 hours or more. All in all, Augusta should most definitely create more places for people who enjoy doing family activities and things like that but it is still an amazing place to visit or live despite the lack of those things. If u come here and think it's boring, you're mistaken. U just have to know people who know where the action is. Yes, Augusta can be a bit laid back and relaxed but, we don't have cops harassing and shooting innocent people just because of their race and, most people here tend to be less stressed out than the people in bigger cities, so it's all about your perspective really. I love it here, even though it can get boring, but thankfully I have a very creative mind so I know how to entertain myself. I enjoyed this vid and I would love for there to be more videos made that show all of Augusta's beautiful landscape if possible. Thanks for taking the time to create this because I honestly think Augusta is underrated at times. MUCH LOVE AND INFINITE BLESSINGS TO U MY FRIEND 💖 💖🙏 🙏✌ ✌
Thanks for your comment... I agree that the location definitely makes it a central point to go explore more of the South and other cities in Georgia. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts :)
What are the negatives I would need to know about? I am looking to start a new life some place. I cant be in the high cost states on the coasts, just cuz i live at home I been able to but I need a cheap place if I am to move out. It looks like people take pride in this town enough.
@@LongLeggedOne well I think I pretty much covered everything with what I said in my previous comment, however, if you're actually thinking about moving here and are worried about the cost, you can relax.. lol.. it's actually not expensive at all to live in Augusta, which is what makes so many people wanna stay.. we also have good hospitals and schools if u know what to look for..the best thing I could recommend for u to do is to do some research and then make a trip here for a couple of days to see how u feel being here.. thx so much for commenting and I hope everything works out for u dear one.. much love
As someone who live in Augusta, (I wasn't born here, but my mom was, and she lived here almost her whole life) I love this video! Arts in the heart is absolutely a great thing to do here!
Glad to see some positive "non-masters related" Augusta videos on TH-cam. However, I do have an issue with the misrepresentation of Hammonds Ferry. Your onscreen overlay says "Hammonds Ferry Augusta" starting around 2:21. Hammonds Ferry is located in North Augusta which is in South Carolina. Yes, it is in the local area but this can be confusing to folks visiting....Augusta is in Georgia and North Augusta is in South Carolina. Just food for thought, thanks for making a great video.
I was really wondering about that because I'm from South Augusta and I had never heard of Hammond's ferry being in Augusta..lol.. I'm definitely heading over the bridge to check it out though because it looked awesome 😊
I grew up in Augusta too and love to see Augusta represented in such a great light as this; especially when it's non-Masters related. I don't get back to Augusta very often, but seeing things like this makes me very happy. Thanks for the great vid!
Im compelled to ask more questions to people about it.. What are cops like? a lot of them? is it better than Savannah? I saw some man doing videos in AL, and he seemed paranoid about people finding negative stuff being said in his Utube because people might gossip and he might get pulled over if the cops notice him. Does stuff like that go on in Augusta? Im just checking. So far it looks like people love this place who grew up in it, but what about for someone new? I am in a high cost coastal state at this time, I will be needing to find a place soon and I will have to look out of state.
Great video and I totally agree with you....Augusta is so much more than just the Masters. It's so historic, lots of festivals here, the people are "down home" friendly and welcoming, various communities with old and newer homes, it's growing a lot here with Cyber Command and the medical district and the location is perfect....not too close to the coast but close enough. Thanks for making a great video!
The mansions and partridge inn are located on Walton way. I used to drive up and down that road after I was done with my classes at augusta state university for motivation . I like how she pointed out the goods about the city when other focus on the bad.
Thanks for the kind comment! I definitely can appreciate driving around those neighborhoods for motivation... it's so important to keep your eye on the prize and think positively!! xo
How about showing the "real" Augusta? Show the neighborhood by the cemetery next to the masters. Or all the homeless. It's a nice travel blog, but no it's not all roses in Augusta. And yes, The partridge Inn Is nice
Under normal circumstances February visits are good but with Covid that’s a different story. The weather is currently ranging between Upper 50’s to the 70’s.
Hi Bonnie - Thanks for checking out the video! The video is shot all around the Augusta area, but a lot of it does highlight the revitalization and growth taking place in Downtown Augusta and just across the Savannah River in Hammond's Ferry, North Augusta. If you are interested in more about the Augusta area, please check out my travel guide page where I'll be adding more content in the future: www.peachfullychic.com/travel-guides/augusta-travel-guide/
She’s only showing the great looking homes of Augusta,GA/ North Augusta, SC. Girl, you can’t show Augusta without going downtown. 🌚let them people see how raggedy Augusta is
I may be moving to Augusta through a job transfer. Would you say it's easy to meet new people there? I know that in smaller cities it's more important to be able to meet new people when there's sometimes less to do than a much bigger city.
I think as long as you are putting yourself out there to join groups or interact socially you won't have any problem meeting people. Good luck on the move!
I grew up in Augusta, moved away in 1990. I probably wouldn't recognize the place now except for a few landmarks. Is the haunted slave pillar still there? Whatever happened to Haggies Rock?
I heard the slave pillar got knocked down by a car. Augusta State University is GRU, Georgia Regents University. Kroger on 15th Street is now GRU. It's STILL the same.
Nice video. Seems like a relaxed and chill city to live in. I didn't understand what everyone is talking about relating to 'non-masters' related? Can anyone enlighten me?
The masters is a huge golf tournament that basically turns augusta into some of the worst traffic ever but the masters happens once a year every spring and honestly like I and most people in augusta could care less about it but most of us just leave town but it last about a week which it would be spring break for the kids in school but yeah its just a big golf tournament
Im looking to move from Oregon, this might be the place but it might not be.. I am doing research on it. Portland is quite boring also. I heard Columbus was too I think. For all the fanfare it gets though, u would not like Portland.
Hi there, we love this this video of your time in Augusta and would love to feature a few seconds of it to show others how they can safely travel to and around Georgia. If interested, you can grant us permissions and load the video through the "Collector" link in our About section or email exgabluesky@gmail.com with any questions. Hope to hear from you soon - safe travels!
Well I'm amazed......were was south Augusta represented? Exactly, it was not....Augusta is so separated economically and not to mention divided racially, however I'm praying that we can and will overcome 🙏
I partnered with the Augusta Visitors Bureau for this short weekend trip and the itinerary, but I would love to feature more of the diversity of Augusta if you would share any recommendations of where I should visit on my next trip? Both of my grandparents lived in South Augusta and I have very fond memories visiting them, so I'm eager to include that area and others in the future! Thank you in advance for your suggestions :)
South augusta is where the ghetto is at? Many places are like that. Here in Louisville, KY. I wouldnt dare venture or get lost in that part of town at night.
Hi my name is Alex I'm not sure how I came across your Channel I might have accidentally hit one of your thumbnails that showed up in my feet but I'm also from Augusta and I'm a TH-cam Creator myself I have too many subscribers but I don't know how in biker have a look at my channel if you ever get a second I'm pretty sure there's some spots to Augusta that you haven't seen that I have been to through my mountain bike Adventures and if nothing else you have a really awesome Channel I had a great time watching some of your videos consider yourself having a new subscriber great meeting you and getting to know your sense of adventure to your Channel
This is a great video of my hometown! We work at Caskets and More on Walton Way and I loved your footage of the Partridge Inn! Great Job!

Wow, I might just need to ask more questions on it. What are the cons? Is it better than Savannah?

3:17 And Augusta’s about 7 hours north of Orlando, FL
Thanks for sharing. I have lived in Augusta all my life. Your right almost always they say the Masters is held there.
Thanks for checking out my video and I appreciate your kind comment! xo
I love Augusta ❤️ thanks for showing that it’s pretty and thriving
Thanks for the kind words :) It's been growing a lot the last few years!
My grandad works at shoes at Surrey in Augusta
I am visiting augusta from Scotland soon. Any advice om anything would be great.
@SpOOk LOC you did not read the discription she said she went acroos the river.
How about showing the "real" Augusta? Show the neighborhood by the cemetery next to the masters. Or all the homeless. It's a nice travel blog, but no it's not all roses in Augusta. And yes, The partridge Inn Is nice
Between Augusta and Savanna I can’t make up my mind where I want to live.
Both have pros and cons...we're in Augusta.
Move to Savannah. Better job opportunities. I know because I’ve lived in Savannah and came back home to Augusta.
@@paigesummers7580, I’m going there next month to visit. Looking forward to it.
Honestly I love savanna way more but maybe because I've lived in augusta all my life
@@liamfr7918, anything about Augusta that sticks out that you don’t like?
Do you suggest visiting Augusta in February?
Under normal circumstances February visits are good but with Covid that’s a different story. The weather is currently ranging between Upper 50’s to the 70’s.
When I was there , A lot of business were closed for good , and I was in DOwntown , Where is all of this at ??

I'm downtown. It's deader than disco here. A couple of restaurants/bars. Not much.
I thought it was just me , lol , But yea Downtown Augusta really disappointed me
Hello from South Carolina
There's quite a lot going on downtown, you just need to know where to look

How was your visit to Augusta?
Minorities! Close your ears at 2:17.
I am hearing a lot of bad things about the area. We wanna move to Evans but hearing the negative is giving us cold feet
Evans is a great place to live. What kind of negative comments have you gotten ?? Evans/Grovetown/Columbia County is like the Beverly Hills of Augusta
706.. good job
Not to be racist but, it’s not a mixed up city.. I’m 3 hours away from Augusta... and it’s looks couldn’t poor.. I can’t stay in boring Columbus ...
Im looking to move from Oregon, this might be the place but it might not be.. I am doing research on it. Portland is quite boring also. I heard Columbus was too I think. For all the fanfare it gets though, u would not like Portland.
As with most places It really depends upon where you move - there’s definitely diversity here
What?
Are you lost?
