Gainesville: Great Place for Family User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 26, 2018) I am from the city of Georgia and have lived in many of its cities. Georgia is one of the places where the feeling of home is heavy. The different cities have different charm and one city that is very special is Gainesville.
The city of Gainesville has so much to offer to people
...Read More in its area. The food is so good. You would think that only southern type of foods would be available but no there is more variety. I do believe that Georgia and Gainesville particular has the best barbeque in the country hands down.
The city has many places to shop overall as well. The mall of Georgia isn’t too far away band allows access to some of the biggest brands in the fashion industry. It features all the standard and staple places to shop that one may want or need. The places to have fun in this city are numerous as well. They have a movie theater, skating rink, and bowling alley. My favorite attraction are the fairs and carnivals that come during the spring. Overall Gainesville captures the essence of family. Read Less
