I love this town! However, I would love to see more diversity in cultural and political beliefs. I am grateful to live here though, as it is an area I feel incredibly safe in. I can walk my dog at night as a teenage girl and not have to worry about others around me. This is something not many areas have and I am very privileged to love in an area that provides this.
I love Kennesaw, I have lived here all my life so this is home to me! There are so many things to do here and I genuinely can't see myself ever leaving. It's just close enough to Atlanta to be able to easily go out and have fun in the city. But it is far enough away to not have to deal with any chaos from Atlanta.
I moved here about 6 years ago, and since then it has been a journey. I've met many wonderful people, made many good friends, and have had so many fun experiences. However like all lives, it was filled with hardship from allergic reactions to other accidents, the troubles piled up. Overall though, I enjoy the community and the feeling it gives. Getting involved in the community can be as easy as volunteering to help for a local soccer team all the way to having runs at Swift-Cantrell Park. The only thing I would really change is how the weather is but, nothing can be done so four stars does this community justice.
