replies: text: Over the years the city of Gainsville has seen an expoential burst of population growth. This is mainly due to the hundreds of immigrants, both legal and illegal, migrating there. While the city has both been both positively and negitively effected by the wave of newcomers,  much more negitive effects have been felt by the citizens of Gainsville than positive. Crime has risen substantionly with gangs starting to show right along with population growth. The healthcare system is begining to feel the consequences of such a wave of people and so are the good tax-paying people of Gainsville. Many people are taking out of the system without putting anything back in. It is clearly evident that Gainsville has an immigration problem, although ridiculously the city is about 1,050 miles away from the border between Mexico and the United States.

message: Cotton Patch Gospel is a hit musical where Jesus grows up in modern day Georgia, with the hometown of Gainsville. I believe it's worth noting somewhere because it's a relatively popular play, with lyrics by Harry Chapin too. CrippleRipple (talk) 05:36, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

message: When I was growing up near Gainesville, my grandparents and teachers used to tell me that they would call Georgia "mini tornado alley." Was this a widespread thing or only in my own weird little corner of the county in the 1990s? Because if it was common enough, it might warrant mention after the sentence "Georgia is not in tornado alley." Maybe with something like "Residents, however, believe that parts of the state comprise a 'mini tornado alley.'" I don't know. That's just a spitball idea.
