There is a tradition here in America where people have a deep respect for the frontier and for all things outdoors. This means a respect for hunting, a respect for camping and fishing. It is these things that really drive the heart of the American spirit. You can find that spirit and all of these great adventures here in the beautiful confines of Douglas County. In many ways Douglas County is not your typical county in Georgia. Sure there is a lot of that Deep South charm here in Douglas, but there is also a sophistication here in the county. People here are looking towards the future while still hanging on to the best parts of their past.

One of the great indications of this sophistication are all of the great shops and restaurants that have sprung up in the county over the past several years. There are ethnic restaurants and there are down home restaurants that have shifted to a higher quality of food and there are also some truly gourmet establishments that are intriguing people all over the country. There is a truly vibrant culture here and people are realizing that it is not only desirable, but nationally renown.

Part of this growing sophistication has a lot to do with the dynamic real estate market here in the state. The new homes that are being built and the older homes that have stood the test of time are attracting a new class of Americans who are fleeing the major cities because of high crime rates and because of high prices.
