What I enjoy about living in Smyrna is the diversity and openness of the city. Whenever you have a request, question or concern, someone is always willing to learn and solve the problem. In all honestly, I would say that it would not be an issue of timeliness because the situations at hand maybe not be handled quickly. They may take some time. However, the situation won't be left hanging in the dust, it will get solved. Smyrna, GA is a suburb in
the surrounding Metropolitan area of Atlanta, GA. Very diverse, very optimistic, very compassionate, resourceful and SAFE!

The
area overall is really nice. The people are friendly and my neighborhood is very accessible to many different stores/restraunts. I love that it is animal friendly too!
My experience with living in Smyrna is great. I met great friends that I can call my brothers and sisters. Smyrna covers an area
that experienced two battles that happened during the Civil War. In fact, both battles took place on the same day in different parts of town. On July 4, 1864, the Battle of Smyrna Camp Ground and the Battle of Ruff’s Mill took place right down the road from one another. Living in Smyrna and looking for fun activities, you can always find them outside. One such option is a trek down the Silver Comet Trail, a 61.5-mile walking or biking trail that starts in Smyrna and stretches all the way to the
Alabama state border. Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q is the best place for all types of ribs and pork. Living in Smyrna also has its advantage, like the Braves baseball stadium is around the corner along with the Falcons stadium being about five to seven miles away. I would change anything about Smyrna because my favorite part is seeing the city from the highways.
