One of the most attractive places to live in Georgia is the Atlanta-area. The region boasts some of the best weather, a vibrant economy and plenty of things to do.
The first thing you need to decide is whether you want a house or an apartment in Georgia and the Atlanta area.
Look for apartments that don’t do credit checks on potential tenants. That way, it’s easier to find a place.
You’re also going to want to entice the landlord by offering to pay more upfront or even every month.
After you’ve gotten a place to live, you’ll want to get a job (if you don’t already have one). With most people, they have a job, but want a better one.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has done away with its mask mandate, following trends around the nation as COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to plummet.
Delta was one of the strictest airlines when it came to health protocols at the height of the pandemic, even reserving an open-middle seat policy.
Delta Says Masks Are Now Optional On Its Flights
Customers and employees alike are free to continue to wear masks, which offer protection against aerosols, the company said.
Delta warned that although it’s policy is in line with White House recommendations, many other businesses around the airport may be slow to get on the same page.
“Given the unexpected nature of this announcement, please be aware that customers, airline employees and federal agency employees, such as TSA, may be receiving this information at different times,” the airline said in an announcement on its website. Y”ou may experience inconsistent enforcement during the next 24 hours as this news is more broadly communicated – remember to show understanding and patience with others who may not be aware enforcement is no longer required. Communications to customers and in-airport signage and announcements will be updated to share that masking is now optional – this may take a short period of time.”
Do I Still Need To Wear A Mask When Out In Atlanta, Georgia?
The CDC along with the City of Atlanta have released guidance advocating that masks no longer have to be worn indoors as well as outdoors in crowded areas.
The CDC also said that masks are now optional on public transportation, which spurred Delta to make its announcement.
Gov. Brian Kemp passed laws that ban a mask mandate, so the local restrictions are limited in how far they apply.
Earlier in the year, the CDC caused controversy when it came out with the following guidance:
Final Word
You no longer have to pack your masks when taking a flight on Delta. Keep in mind that when you’re traveling abroad, mask mandates may still be in effect.
Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.
Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interested in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.

Atlanta also continues to lead the nation in the number of women-owned businesses, according to recent statistics.
Google Makes It Easier To Find Black Businesses In Atlanta
Google has teamed up with the U.S. Black Chambers on Black-owned Fridays to celebrate and support Black-owned businesses in the area.
The company announced that black businesses with a verified Business Profile on Google can add a Black-owned business attribute to so that customers looking to support such firms can more easily find them.
The move is part of a partnership with the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc., which has made it a mission to address the needs of local black businesses.
Support These Local Atlanta Businesses
It may require that you drive farther or that you even pay more, but supporting local businesses is essential to the health of your community.
Atlanta entrepreneur Candice McCoy, who originally wanted to be a forensic psychiatrist, built an app primarily designed for people who either can’t physically visit a salon or the salon does not cater to their needs. It works like this: Go to MeetJuicee.com and you can order on-call, in-home beauty services from licensed, talented cosmetologists. Men can also get haircuts via Juicee. Women can order custom wigs as well.
“I created Juicee with people like me in mind — new moms, disabled persons and WOC [women of color],” she said.

When you experience a great shopping experience on the local level, let others know about it!
2. Review Websites
Many websites have local reviews that give you a great description of what you can find inside local businesses.
Some sites with local reviews include:
3. Yellow Pages
Everybody’s kind of forgotten about using a local directory, but the Yellow Pages are still here. The online version is just as useful as the think book from back in the day.
Let your fingers do the walking and see if you can find local businesses for the products and services you need.
4. Google ‘Near Me’
One of the most convenient ways to find local resources like restaurants and other businesses is to search for it on Google.com. If you put the item you’re looking for and the words “near me” in the search bar, you’ll get all the local results.
5. Join A Civic Group
