Georgia has seen a sharp decline in auto insurance affordability over the past decade, placing it among the least affordable states in the U.S., according to a new report by the Insurance Research Council (IRC).

We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
