This is a small town, one I have lived in my entire life. Although it is still growing and opportunities and continually popping up, it does not have as many opportunities as I would like growing up. It has blessed me with a memorable childhood!
I moved to tifton 5 years ago and it’s growing and getting bigger. I am only about 15 mins from stores such as Walmart, dollar stores, home improvement stores, and many different restaurants. We are still growing with many more options. You can choose between Italian, seafood, Mexican, Japanese or a great steak. Our education system is great, so far everyone acts like a family and wants to help as much as they can when they can. Since we’ve had the pandemic, the community has worked together to make sure everyone is taken care of. Our hospital has a wonderful staff, very knowledgeable doctors and specialist. I have had nothing but top priority service with tift regional medical center. Our dentist offices are clean and very new patient friendly. We have many things for families such as the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic, parks with occasional festivals, Bam bounce houses, movie theater, and many other events that take place.
I stopped in Tifton, Georgia while driving to Tampa back in 1979. While driving down I-75 South in an old 1968 Chevy. The rear end was making noise so I pulled into the first filling station I could find. The station was owned by an old black gentleman. He and a few of his elderly friends were hanging around out front enjoying life. I was a 20 year old white man with long hair down to my waist and had $33 and change in my pocket. They fixed my car for free while we sat around playing a guitar and drinking cheap wine. I'll never forget these friendly generous gentleman. I wish I could say the same for the majority of Georgia's whites I had encountered along the way.
