First time we went to Shellman was around 07. It was a different world down that short access road off of 17. We drove down several streets and everywhere we looked we saw 20 and 30 year sad looking trailers with big expensive boats parked beside them. You could tell where the priorities were there.
Around the same time an old very wealthy guy I used to know named Armstrong went down there and did a good bit of developing in the area. I think he was the one that got the golf course built there.
I still like Shellman better than anywhere else in the county. But I like Waverly and Woodbine better. It's a lot like Shellman the way lots of the streets run down to a community boat ramp. And you got the houses on stilts like I always loved. Best part is it's in Camden County not McIntosh or Glynn. If you're not living on the islands you don't want to live in Glynn Co. Brunswick is like a smaller version of Macon but with the added problem of constant water and sewage problems. I've never seen so many boil water advisories in my life as Brunswick.
Brunswick is where derelicts go to die.
Fun Fact:
"derelicts" is an abbreviation of "derriere licker".
It didn't look as good on a bumper sticker on the back glass of a pick em up truck, though.
"je mange derriere" window stickers fer cell.
Yeah that would be any of the streets or neighborhoods across from the Toras Causeway and everything behind the Winn Dixie shopping center right down from there. There's an area close to the water treatment plant called Arco that's as bad as Bloomfield or Unionville.
I did.especially at JRs Double Nickel!Sometimes i had to fight em to disarm them.It was all part of the job.
Brunswick is double the state and national average for both property and violent crimes. They're trying hard to rebuild old downtown but they'll have to change that stat to make any meaningful long term changes.
I've walked around downtown Brunswick and I thought the same thing as I do or did when I last walked around downtown Maxon. Lots of potential and it's a shame the state of some of the historic buildings. But nobody is gonna do anything about it for various reasons.
I've owned land. Now am in the mindset of rather not. #1 rule for me is live on it or close by. And even then, you may discover someone dumped on it. Storms blow over trees, drought and beetles kill em, interior roads need maintenance, beavers dam up creeks etc. Plus, not a liquid asset. I don't know enough about harvesting timber to consider that angle. You can be left with a mess. I know someone that had dirt stolen. He lived out of state. Sued, company filed bankruptcy, got nothing. Nope, too much of an investment for recreation. Just not for me
