Hobbies help fill free time in a productive and fulfilling way, but ones done alone while making for good me time, fail to capture the same excitement and sense of community that hobbies shared with others do. For people who appreciate games, Kennesaw houses large communities of these hobbyists and offers plenty of gathering places. For those looking to get in on the excitement, game stores and local arcades make for a great place to start.
