disappointed with Cartersville 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 03, 2019) Yes Cartersville has some nice spots, but a sprawling gap in economic levels which most cities do. It is how the government treats these. Cartersville is also full of history, historic districts which include some that are aging very poorly. If you live in one that the city does ...Read More not support good luck with anything from water main breaks (they'll put a bandaid on it), to very poor sewage and storm water systems. They won't do a darn thing about those. And I have run into several very, very shady things about the government. City officials that hang up on you or do not return correspondence, to a vial lack of accountability when it comes to protocol and procedures to general record keeping. So very sorry I moved here.

How to Have a Great Time in Cartersville, GA 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Cartersville is a small city with lots of charming attractions, but is close enough to the Atlanta metropolitan area so that you'll have access to award-winning restaurants and shopping amenities.

Activities in Cartersville include Petit Creek Farms, a zoo that allows children
...Read More to see their favorite animals up close. Etowah Indian Mounds State Park is also in the city, and is a historic site that teaches you more about the Native Americans who founded the area.
