Grady County is mainly a farming county. One of the greatest things about living here are the local farmers! They are awesome and some of them actually sale the produce grown on their farms to the public.
The plus side to living here:
Doctors & Hospital are Great! Over 50 churches to choose from Recreation Department. Great high school band, drama and 4-H program. A good private owned dance/acrobatic/cheerleading program. BUT, that is where it ends!
The negative to living here is,
Corruption - county and city offices is horrible! High utilities for both county and city. Crime and drugs! The law enforcement agencies DO NOT do near enough to stop the crime and too many of them are corrupt too! ZERO place to shop for quality clothes or shoes! School System has a LOT of room for improvement! Students are treated differently according to which middle school they attend once they go to the high school.
Grady County is a great place for people who want a quiet place to retire.

It is a small little town that everyone can enjoy. It is peaceful and family friendly. Cairo is most known for its fried chicken restaurant, known as Mr. Chick. Mr. Chick's fried chicken is the best that there is. The only thing there is to do a fun is watch Friday night football at our local high school or go to our local Zebulon to watch movies. Since, it is small town you get to know everyone else that lives there, which means that you could meet your friends for life. The teachers at our public schools really care about their students. The teachers spend most of their out of school time devoted to figuring out the best way to educate the young minds of our future.
Cairo is a quaint town in Southwest Georgia that hosts many small gatherings throughout the year dedicated to community involvement. There is a rich history in the city and efforts are made to preserve it. The area is recently growing into a town which features local small businesses and restaurants and is currently redesigning a major lake and recreational area in order to build a resort which will bring more opportunities to the area. Cairo is primarily a farming community and there are many low income and poorly educated areas of the city. The members of the community work together in order to create an environment that is welcoming and safe for everyone. There are many back roads to wander down while admiring the towering pine trees and native plants or wildlife. Many summer nights are spent swatting gnats and mosquitos on the porch and hoping to avoid fire ant hills while enjoying fresh watermelon, blueberries, and other abundant local produce.
