The Fall Line is also called "The Gnat Line."
I lived 10 miles north of the Fall Line, no gnats.
I also lived 5 miles south of the Fall Line, lots of gnats. It’s amazing that it is that dramatic, but it’s true.

Augusta is no different than any other bigger city in the south with a college or two. Anywhere decent to live will be a 30+ minute drive from the city.
Life is good live it while you can.

That gnat line thing is a myth, I've lived in Central Ga my whole life. Plenty of gnats above the Fall line where I live now.
The columbia county schools are ranked fairly high out all of Ga school districts, but that doesnt mean much when it comes to todays public school education....Augusta is just sort of dirty...and they have a lot of private schools for a reason. I only go a couple times a year if I get Masters tickets. Clarks Hill has good fishing.

It is not a myth. I lived 10 miles above the Fall Line, on Lake Sinclair, for years, no gnats. I also lived 5 miles south of Milledgeville, on the Toomsboro Hwy, lots of gnats.
I tell you what. I moved out 27 years ago. It could be true that gnats have moved in since I left. Where do you live killerv?

Thanks for all the input, but turns out we won't be making the move. We've got a 12 year old son and have decided it's not best for him to uproot him and move 700 miles at this time - regardless of the pay raise.

Demographics are a detriment to the process of educating a 12 year old unless private schooling is available but then not much better. All schools are being dumbed down to the level of minorities and that's a sad fact.

A few years ago Augusta had the distinction of being #6 for STDs out of city metro areas with populations of 150,000 or more.
