Atlanta Boomers Are Moving To This Scenic Florida City With Affordable Living And Sandy Beaches

There are many reasons why someone would choose to live in Atlanta. It has a bustling downtown area with attractions and restaurants, and it's a major corporate hub. But for Boomers born between 1946 and 1964 who are no longer in the workforce, the hustle and bustle of daily life in the big city may no longer be serving them. For those looking for a more laid-back lifestyle, Florida's Panama City, located in the Panhandle, could be worth considering. Panama City's proximity to Gulf Coast beaches offers opportunities for frequent beach trips, and recent migration data suggests that the surrounding area is attracting some Atlanta baby boomers.

'We were all farmers' —Thomas Ewing, 96, remembers Snellville’s rural roots

Of the rolling fields and orchards of Thomas Ewing’s boyhood, memories remain. “I can go down the road and name you the farmers, from the church on down the road, and right up the road, the ones that was farming during that time,” Ewing says. “We were all farmers.” It was 1930. The previous year the stock market had crashed, and Americans were losing faith in their banks, in their president, in the possibilities of their country. In the midst of the tumult Ewing was born in a four-room farmhouse his grandfather built on Webb Gin House Road. Briefly, the family moved to Atlanta to try a different life. They were driven back by the worsening depression, and remained on the family farm another two and a half decades. Ewing himself would not stay even that long. He enlisted, and at 20 he left Gwinnett. Never again would he pick cotton, or plow a field. By the time he returned home to Snellville, 46 years later, everything had changed. A country crossroad had grown to a metro suburb. Ewing had traveled the world, and become director of his division. But for the son of a farmer raised in his father’s

Cobb advances application for Atlanta Road apartment complex

A zoning application to transform a former Pilot truck stop into a 249-unit apartment complex in Vinings has advanced to the Board of Commissioners. During its zoning hearing Tuesday, the Cobb Planning Commission unanimously voted to advance developer Flournoy Development Group’s application to the Board of Commissioners without a recommendation following concerns raised about the proposed complex’s potential traffic impact. The application proposes rezoning a 3.79-acre site just off I-285 to construct a five-story apartment complex. The site, located at 4600 Atlanta Road, just off the northbound exit of I-285, in Vinings, was the former site of a Pilot truck stop and is currently owned by the county, according to Kevin Moore, an attorney representing Flournoy. The proposed building would have 288,000 square feet of residential space, according to county documents. Floor plans were not provided in Flournoy’s application, and it is unclear what the average square footage of each unit will be. According to a stipulation letter from Moore to county zoning staff, the proposed building will be four stories tall along the side facing Atlanta Road, while the side facing I-285 will be five stories tall. “(Flournoy Development Group) are a known player, a known developer, in this
