Augusta is a wonderful city with plenty parks to visit, shopping facilities and eateries to indulge in. The parks consist of Pendleton King Park, Phinizy and Augusta Riverwalk to name a few. Also, there are several shopping facilities such as Augusta Mall, Augusta Riverwalk, and Augusta Exchange. There are several attractions that draws ones to Augusta to include the Downtown Augusta, Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, Savannah River Brewing and much more. The Masters Tournament and Augusta Mall are our biggest attractions. Augusta is best known as the home of the Masters Golf Tournament. There are a variety of eateries such as Mellow Mushroom Augusta, Cafe 209, Beamie's at the River, Frog Hollow Tavern, French Market grill and many more. Augusta is also known as the birthplace of the godfather of soul, James Brown and it houses facilities like the Army's Cyber Center of Excellence at Fort Gordon. Augusta, Georgia is a fun city with plenty of things to do and places to visit.
I like how the city is crowded and pretty busy during the daytime. Then, at night around 10 o'clock the streets are clear for long periods of time. Thus, at night there is only a few restaurants available. Thus, only 2 of the 3 were 24 hour facilities. They were pretty much hamburger restaurants with drinks and shakes. I would like to see a bigger variety of restaurants available at night. I'm a donut lover and would love to see a late night, lower calorie, but delicious donut facility. I would also like to see a bigger variety of drink at night. Maybe, a bigger variety of different flavors. For example, my favorite flavor combination is coffee and banana.
Augusta, GA is overall bad. It's designed horrifically; traffic is awful because the only viable transportation option for transportation is your car. There are very few things to do here. The city doesn't have much money running through it, but it has enough to be the major city of the area. It is very diverse and pretty cheap to live in, but that can describe many cities and anyone would be better off going somewhere else. It is a white flight city and it shows in its lack of wealth. The best place in Augusta is downtown Augusta and it's awful; it is the most walkable area yet it manages to be hostile to pedestrians with narrow, broken sidewalks. Many of the buildings and plots of land there are empty.
