Was tempted to tip the cops tonight after seeing groups of Venezuelans and their kids grab sodas, and walk out I’m talking 1-3 bottles per person. None paid, no one said a word. No they didn’t pick up as an “uber”. Hoping this isn’t seen continuously. These people were sketchy and reading some of their tattoos aren’t the cleanest of people just based off them. Before anyone comments please note I know those areas very very well and know the good and the bad. These weren’t the good kind.

I relocated to GA about 3 years ago. I’ve lived in the Johns Creek/Alpharetta area the entire time (renting). I am now in the process of purchasing my own home and I can’t afford to stay here- all the houses in my budget are small and need LOTS of repairs. I am considering moving out to Suwanee but I am feeling a bit reluctant since I don’t know much about the area or Gwinnett County and I really love the area I live in now. Any guidance on Suwanee and whether it’s a good idea to move there would be helpful. For context: I am single with a son in college.

Our Verizon bill just keeps going up and I feel like we are on WiFi 75+% of the time anyway, so I am considering switching to a smaller carrier. The Visible+ plan with priority data for $35/mo looks appealing.

Anyone have experience with coverage for any of the smaller carriers in the Alpharetta/Roswell area? TIA

My family is moving from NY to the Atlanta area next year. Our oldest son has high functioning autism, and I’m having trouble finding information on the best public school systems for special needs children. Does anyone have suggestions or experience with an ASD child in Alpharetta, John’s Creek, or Roswell schools? We are coming from a great school district in NY, and I don’t want to move to a district where children are constantly suspended and services are scarce!

First off I am all for open internet dialogue so if a Vice Kitchen staffer would like to join in the dialogue, all ears.

We run a growing catering business in the metro Atlanta area with a focus on meat. Good meat.

After trying different vendors we were recommended Vice Kitchen because of their selection.

The first time working with them, we specifically asked for wagyu cuts and they assured that the steak the provided was wagyu. The cuts they gave me was nowhere near wagyu yet they repeatedly said it was. So they either 1) don’t know what Wagyu is or 2) lied to my face.

A few months later to this week, we were in a pinch so I gave them another chance asking for filets for an upcoming Christmas party of high end clients, where we specialize.

Had 35 pounds of filet for Monday ordered through them and today they said tough shit, won’t happen after telling me for 10 days they could.

Had another catering company give similar feedback.

Any recommendations of butchers in our area not run by bums like this Vice?

Hey - was wondering if anyone knew a good spot (barber shop/ salon) for a men’s haircut.

Used to do 18/8 in Brookhaven for a while, but became real expensive. Did Alpharetta Barber/Reesha but the haircuts were kind of sloppy over time.

Have a few cowlicks/widows peak so need something a bit more than a Great Clips, etc… but don’t need all the extras of beer and all that stuff. Just a good solid haircut!

Moving for a job post grad and havent lived in metro atl in over 4 years, i left when halcyon was built for context, also dont mention anything uga im not the one

I am looking for a good Neurologist in the Alpharetta area, they don’t have to be in Alpharetta, within a 20 mile radius would be perfect. I am looking for recommendations as I have never seen one but was told to by my primary care physician. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

seems it had opened a couple weeks back and now has a sign saying "the counter kitchen and pastry" coming soon

anyone know what happened?

Thanksgiving is one of three holidays during which our curbside residential trash and recycling collection service will be suspended. If your regular service day falls on Thursday, November 28th, your collection will be rescheduled for Friday, November 29th. Customers who usually have service on Friday will have their collection on Saturday.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as our crew members spend the holiday with their families.

Is wacky world at Wills Park still open for now? Looking for a fun playground for my step kid in town for the week.

Any other good spots to consider?

Anyone in the south Main or near downtown Alpharetta using T-Mobile’s or VZW’s home Internet? I would love to hear your experience on working from home (Teams meetings, Remote Desktop connections (all day), occasional file download/upload) and streaming 4k video. I am trying to decide which one I want to try first for a trial period.

I can only get Xfinity or AT&T DSL 25 mbps service - AT&T fiber & air and Google fiber are not available at my address. My Comcast download is solid at 800 mbps but upload is limiting at times. But the real reason is the data cap is killing me. I can go unlimited for another $30 a month which will take service to $126/month. I don’t think I can go through another customer retention episode after last increase of $20ish/month.

Recently got into drinking nice loose lead tea and was wondering what a good place was to buy loose leaf tea and tea supplies

Which areas are safe for community apartments near the sanctuary park? I'm currently looking for a studio/1B around $1200 to 1300ish.

I wouldn't mind sharing the apartment in a 2/3B. Are there any specific fb groups or subreddit groups to find roommates in Alpharetta?

Appreciate any help, Cheers!

I was looking to raise some money for this non-profit, but was unsure on where to find events to sell henna art for, im pretty decent at it and i would love to find areas to do it in? Any specific areas or locations/upcoming events for where I could

Looking for a place in Alpharetta / Roswell Area. Budget is 1300-1500. Ideally somewhere safe with places to walk. Was looking at The Crossings at Holcomb Bridge and Woodcreek Apartments and those very quickly became a hard no based on the safety.

Any suggestions welcome!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any local community centers that offered rooms for folks who wanted to start a support group. I'd love somewhere outside of a church that would feel a little more secular, but not necessary. I've called some churches and not had much luck lol. I know Emory hospital does some, but are all medical facility groups run by a staff member?

Thanks in advance for any info. Hoping to grow a little connectedness in our community. 🙂

Hey guys I have 3 question for you
Where do you work?/ Do you know a good job?

Do they pay more than $17/hr?

Do they recruit?

Hi All - I regularly hit up the local 2nd and Charles, but I'm looking for other places worth driving out to. Any and all recommendations welcome!
