Barbershops?

What’s up guys, I’m new to the area. Bought a house in Warrenville and need to get a haircut next week for a new job. Any good barbers in the area of Aiken or in Augusta who won’t charge arm and leg. Only need fade and line up. I have “the cut” app but idk who’s good or people recommend. The place I used to go is in Irmo so trying to save the trip and find a new barber here.

Thanks!

Walking/Hiking trails in the area

Hey y’all, I just moved from Columbia a couple weeks ago! I am wondering if there are any good parks with walking trails or hiking trails that I should check out.

I’ve been to the Augusta Riverwalk, which is nice but I want to know if there are others. I enjoy trails of all types, so any park with walking/hiking is good to check out.

House Cleaners and Realtors

TLDR my dad was a long time alcoholic who lived in squalor. He died a few weeks ago, and I need to find someone to clean his house.

I'm looking for someone to deep, deep clean my dad's house. He died a few weeks ago, and his house is horrific. The whole thing is disgusting. His fridge has rotted food in it, his toilet has a ring around it that looks like someone poured coffee grounds onto a thick line of glue. The baseboards and trim are matted with dirt and dog hair, same for the floors. The walls are covered in grime. His furniture is filthy, all of it. The insides of all the drawers and cabinets are sticky with hair and dust and god knows what else. It's truly unlivable.

I live about nine hours away, so I don't really know anyone in the area. I need someone to clean it, but it is not a light clean. Any recommendations?

I'm also looking for a reputable realtor to sell it once I get it cleaned up.

I would really appreciate any recommendations. It's been a lot to deal with, and it isn't even close to over.

Theoretically, how likely would you be to vote for a twenty four year old, moderate leaning female democrat in the 2026 state house race- against Melissa Oremus?

Wild wings fried mushrooms were so good but now since they are gone where can I get similar? They were beer battered I'm pretty sure.

Thoughts on Aiken Regional vs Piedmont?

Hey everyone. I’m not currently pregnant but hope to be soon. I have been seeing an NP at Aiken OB/GYN for my yearly exams/other appointments and have been happy with her and the practice in general, but everyone I work with has told me that if I’m planning to get pregnant I should find a doctor in the Piedmont network because it’s a much better place to have a baby than Aiken Regional. Do you think this is true? I like the idea of ARMC because they are much less busy and it feels like a more relaxed place. My only complaint is I usually prefer to see a doctor over an NP and Aiken OB won’t let me switch to see a doctor. Not sure if that will change once pregnant since NPs can’t do deliveries.

Looking for a mechanic.

I have just moved down from Anderson and my luck I'm having car trouble already. I drive a 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ and I'm looking for someone that has a good reputation with these older jeeps. Looking for good, honest, doesn't need to have a fancy shop or comfy waiting room, just a guy really into jeeps. Thanks.

Academy parking lot

Wednesday 10/23/24 730pm (ish) at academy parking lot there were two men, one standing out front looked like he was homeless (maybe) and another man with a shopping bag that kept walking to his white utility van and the front of the store. I’m assuming they were together. They weren’t doing anything wrong, nothing illegal but I know that parking lot has had issues in the past and now I question everything. I decided not to turn off my car and walk inside. I would’ve had to walk in front of both men and I was worried about coming back to my car. I think I made the right choice but now I’m thinking I over reacted.

How to rehome cat in Aiken

I’m fairly new here and I’m not sure how to go about this. Please spare me the rudeness and backlash. This is hard enough. I’ve had my cat for 3 years now and I just can’t take care of her the way she needs. She doesn’t get the proper attention or enrichment from me bc me and my bf work a lot. She deserves so much better and I’m not sure where to start. I feel like she’s depressed. Again I feel awful enough, please don’t make me feel worse.

My brother's roofing company has some jobs in Evans after Helene. Is there a lot of need in Aiken for contractors too? They're a preferred contractor for multiple insurance agencies (including USAA), not storm chasers. I'm looking for a reason to go help as close to what I call home as possible.

Across from Sam’s Club

What’s up with all the security vehicles in the parking lot where the massage and mail place is across from Parker’s and Sam’s? I haven’t seen any new businesses there but every time I drive past, the parking lot is packed. Either the massage place is very “friendly” or the mail service at the postal service is incredible. Is there a new business/restaurant/something there?

N code(srs)
