Why Is Douglas County So Economically Weak, Compared To The Rest Of Metro Atlanta?

Monday, January 4th, 2010

There are no real restaurants here, not even a Steak-and-Shake, an Up-the-Creek or a Popeye’s. The county’s only Pep Boys, just went out of business, and so did Smokey Bones and Sonny’s BBQ. I mean Douglasville is only 30 minutes west of Atlanta. Lithia Springs is only 15 minutes west of Atlanta. The housing here is cheap and affordable. However, all of the good businesses are light years away in Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb and Clayton counties. Why not Douglas?
