Macon is the heart of Georgia and it’s a very friendly, community type city that has grown a lot. It’s a very cultural city where blacks are the majority. The city poured a lot of money into revitalizing the downtown area and it’s now a fun, safe place to visit with lots of black owned shops and restaurants. Black barbershops, black owned yoga studios, and black owned chiropractor offices to name a few. Macon is a city where they recognize the value that African Americans contributed to the history of the city. I’ve lived here for 6 months now and I really enjoy it. Like I mentioned blacks are the majority but there are many white people here as well and they have all been friendly and I’ve had no issues with anyone.
Places I’ve been so far and would recommend: Coleman Hill Park Amerson River Park Lake Tobesofkee Shops at Rivercrossing Museum of Art and Science Macon has a variety of things to explore but I can only recommend what I’ve explored so far.
