    "There's very little to do here for folks 18-49. Entertainment and many of the better stores you will find elsewhere. Theft has been on the rise in homes in Ebenezer recently, but has always been present to a lesser degree. The newer subdivisions are good, but the rest is trashy to acceptable. You can't always judge a book by its cover, but in this case you can. Take note of your surroundings as you view homes in this area. I plan to move."
