Dalton, Georgia : Thank You For My Best Friend 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Georgia is one of the best states to be in while living in the United States. The culture and the people here make the city so enjoyable and fun to be in. You never know who or what you will see while roaming around the cities. One city that holds a special place in my heart is D ...Read More alton, Georgia.

This city is where I met my best friend to this day. I moved here and started school and the people were so kind to me. It didn’t take long to make friends and to be roaming around the city as a high school senior. The fun that I had here with my best friend was legendary. We would go to the mall and just shop and eat till we dropped. The food is so good that you will never ever want to stop eating and the restaurants will satisfy any craving. The city seemed bigger than what it was during the night as the clubs and parties here were always lively.

Dalton, Ga is just pure fun. This mid-sized city seemed huge to me because I always had something new to do and eat. I definitely love this city. Read Less
