Not a Safe or Supportive Environment for Students of Color…read more As a student at Kennesaw State University, I strongly advise against living in an off-campus house in Acworth without thoroughly vetting your roommates. My experience with the Acworth Police Department was deeply concerning. Despite multiple police reports regarding serious conflicts, including incidents of domestic violence and retaliation from my roommates, I found the department to be dismissive, unresponsive, and unwilling to provide proper assistance. Rather than ensuring my safety, I was treated as a nuisance. Only a handful of officers treated me respectfully while most Officers displayed frustration instead of professionalism, and accurate documentation of incidents was not a priority. As a person of color, I did not feel protected or served by this department, and my concerns were not taken seriously. If you are a Black student or a person of color considering housing in Acworth, be aware that the level of police support you receive may not meet the standard of care you would expect. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this area as a safe or supportive environment for students dealing with difficult roommate situations. Lookout for Officer D Jackson she lies in her reports.

I was involved in a hit and run and had to wait for an officer to come and take my testimony so a report could be written and you can claim against the person that hit you (their insurance). This was all made possible because I quickly jumped out and took his license plate. By the way, the office I was talking to on 911 also told me that had I left, I also could be charge with leaving the scene of an accident. I was very impressed with the quick response of the officer that showed up to take the report to the investigating officer that is responsible for find the guy that hit me. The only negative besides being hidden behind several twists and turns, was that I found was the computer system seems to be down frequently. It may be because of the new location. I haven't given up, and I hope to get my police report soon!

Nature lovers, bikers, families with kids - Are you hearing me?? Georgia in general is known for it's beautiful parks & waterfalls and Alpharetta is no different. Visit the bustling Avalon mall for nightlife or the downtown for some interesting music and art festivals, the Big Creek Greenway for it's accessible paths that caters to everyone or the Fulton network of libraries to indulge in books or plethora of activities curated by the staff. A very peaceful city to live in & compared to it's neighbors like Roswell, traffic isn't bad at all. Alpharetta also has it's share of a few but good IT companies that is filled with Indians (duh! We're everywhere I know;) ) and a good school district. It's safe to live in and actually a great place to raise a family. Yeah yeah, rents can be high and property taxes can be too but not higher than the national average (I see you Californians :)) Take a chance on Alpharetta, you won't be disappointed :)

There was a professional photographer taking pictures that could be downloaded for free after the event and you were also allowed to take your own photos. As I was by myself, the photographer was gracious enough to take pictures with my phone for me. The line was about 1/2 hour wait, but it was so worth it. Then I was off to see what complimentary crafts were being offered. Wow, so many choices: popsicle Christmas trees to decorate, small jingle bell bracelets to make, large jingle bell necklaces to make, several different foam crafts to assemble (reindeer, snowman photoframe, birdhouse thermometer, reindeer glasses and more!). While looking at the kids making the crafts I noticed someone with an adorable balloon reindeer and went to find out where they had gotten it. There were two balloon artists that worked their fingers to the bone making the cutest balloons! Many different designs including: reindeer, snowman, Christmas tree, Christmas wreath, Santa hat, turtle, unicorn, giant candy cane, swords, and many more. They were amazing - and the line showed it. I was in line about 45 minutes for my reindeer, but I consider it time well spent! Then I was off to find the marshmallow roasting area. They had several fire pits set up and folks putting marshmallows on sticks for everyone. Truth be told, I went back more than once additional marshmallows. :) The event started at 4:00pm with the tree lighting at 6:15pm. Beautiful big tree on Main Street covered in white lights. I could not even count the number of folks taking pictures in front of - and inside of - the lit tree. I think everyone had a spectacular time. The event was scheduled to end after the tree was lit, but I was not the only one to continue to stay and take part in the merriment well after that. The face painting booth as well as pictures with Santa still had long lines when I called it quits at 6:45pm. I can hardly wait to attend this event again next year!!!
