03 / A NOTE FROM JESUS
New to the area.
In good company.
I’m Jesus. When I moved to Grovetown, I started asking the questions every newcomer asks. What does it cost to live here? How do things work? Who do I call?
The CSRA Brief is the newsletter I wish someone had handed me on day one. I’m learning this place in public, and sharing what I find along the way.
Consider this a note from a neighbor.
