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.

Where Was ‘Ozark’ Filmed? The Georgia Lakes and Towns That Played Missouri

The Byrdes spent four seasons washing cartel money on a Missouri lake that, almost every time you saw it, was sitting in Georgia. Georgia is the answer to where was Ozark filmed, specifically two reservoirs north of Atlanta, Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier, plus a string of metro Atlanta diners, parks and one very old drive-in. Netflix’s own Tudum travel guide concedes that Ozark was not shot in the Ozarks and that most of the real filming happened in Georgia, and KOMU in Columbia, Missouri, reported that only a few establishing shots came from the actual Lake of the Ozarks.

In the late 1980s, there were about 200 lesbian bars in the country; now, nearly 40 years later, there are only 36 left & one of them is here in Atlanta, Georgia

Celebrating 30 years this past August in the ATL, My Sister’s Room is a beloved staple of the Atlanta queer community, especially for ATL sapphics. As the only lesbian bar in the city, and one of the only remaining lesbian bars in the country, MSR is more than just a fun place to go with friends or a date… it’s a crucial part of LGBTQ+ culture and history.
