    Collegedale people are great! College students around the area are helping the city grow. Many business like chick-fil-a and panda express have recently brought their businesses in town. There are also plenty of small business opportunities.
    Sometimes the traffic is bad and there isn't much to do, but it's a great place with great people! Everyone is nice here, very friendly.
