When they finally did start showing color, they went to a very pale pink stage, and then stayed there for another couple of weeks.
The first three that finally went to a deeper pink were almost sour/rotten tasting. When I tried one at the pale pink state, it was flavorless.
There are a couple more that are now going to deep pink, so I'll see if it has any redeeming qualities.

Fathers Daughter,
I wouldn't give up just yet. I'm on the MA/RI border. This particular season all of my tomatoes ripened exactly as you described. I know that several local farms and gardeners had the same problem with ripening. I've grown GA for a few seasons now and they really have been great in the past.
