ALBANY, GA. --

For the FOX 31 Facebook story of the day people wanted to know what affect the economy has had on Thanksgiving for local residents.

The feelings among southwest Georgians are mixed.

Some people say they've noticed a change in how they celebrate thanksgiving, while others say their families traditions haven't changed.

“It didn't affect mine. It made it better because I had a chance to work real closely with the community,” says Willie Ross.
