Going to school in Sandersville was terrible. The school system is just as messed up as the court system. Crime isn't high, but it should be.
Favorite place is Dairy Lane. They have great food, but it's hard to wanna go there for food because of the people.

I'm from Sandersville and proud to live here. We're not C**p in the cream". We're a great little town with a lot of history and some of the friendliest places you'll "never" visit. Ridiculous article."

You based this on data!-! What a crock...visit these towns and you will find happy people enjoying their lives and family. I am from Sandersville and you are very wrong about it. You act like it is 1,000 miles from anywhere.
Crime is low because it is a small town and you know your neighbor and probably their entire family. Talking about a Days Inn at the only exit..what are you talking about- What exit- There isn't an interstate near there. There are other hotels in town
It is a wonderful town, a community with pride and love. Trust me, I live near Lake Norman, NC now. There are expensive houses and people making lots of money but most have friends based on status and not true friends..you lose your money, you lose your friends. In Small towns like Sandersville, they might not have the most money but the whole community comes together to make it a wonderful cute little town. They will treat strangers like friends and make you feel welcome and at home....you can't judge a town by data. Data doesn't have a heart and soul like this wonderful little town. Plus you live in Dunham...not a place I would recommend.
