Cobb County is a county very near and dear to my heart as someone who has lived here his whole life. I was very lucky to live in a neighborhood where it is so close to everything from malls and shops to grocery stores. For entertainment, the Cumberland Mall is a diverse mall that includes mainstays such as the food court and GameStop, clothing stores including Macy's with new arrivals such as game place for kids and the Apple Store. For those who want something more adult, there are a variety of bars and sports bars along the Atlanta Road in the Village Green Circle Area. A variety of restaurants dot the area that include American style restaurants such as Golden Corral and Cracker Barrel, with foreign cuisines such as Mexican Food and Asian noodle stores.
Cobb County is a good county, but there are some things that could be fixed. The area is great, but the cost of living in any Cobb area could be quite expensive.However, everything is nearby which doesn't require long driving times. In addition to this, the people are very nice and caring and will help where they can. I've been a resident of Cobb County since I was 3 years old and I plan on living here for awhile.
