Advice

Hi everyone!

I’m moving to Alpharetta soon for a new job and am seeking some guidance. I’ve never been to Georgia before, so I’m not sure where to stay. Ideally, I’d like to find a place close to Windward/Alderman Drive. I’m looking for apartment complexes with good access to public transportation.

I’d also appreciate suggestions for shopping centers, gyms, and the closest Catholic church. Any recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area would be greatly appreciated!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Looking for a pretty easy haircut, no color! I want a long, 90s style bouncy cut with easy layers. Shouldn’t be a hard cut at all, but I don’t know the best salon to go to around here! Willing to drive a little it doesn’t need to strictly be in Alpharetta. TIA!

Babysitter Rates for Infant & 3-Year-Old in Alpharetta?

Hey everyone!

We’re new to Alpharetta and starting to look for an in-home babysitter for our two little ones—a 6-month-old and a 3-year-old. Curious to know what the going rate is around here for babysitters who come to your home.

Any insights on hourly rates, especially for someone with infant care experience, would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Emory Johns Creek Labor Experiences

Hello, we are based out of Alpharetta area in Atlanta and needed advice on the experience at Emory Johns Creek hospital for L&D. My wife is 34 weeks pregnant currently and is due in first week of December. Our OB is connected to Emory Johns Creek and we selected Emory based on this. Now hearing from a friend that Northside Forsyth hospital is better than Emory. Any recent positive experiences with Labor and delivery at Emory Johns Creek? Thanks a lot in advance.

Music lessons for adults?

I want to learn an instrument and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good place to take lessons or get a tutor in Alpharetta/surrounding area? Ideally a string instrument like viola or violin. I'm not sure how much this typically costs so it could be way out of my price range, but willing to spend $500~/month. With my work schedule I could probably do one lesson/instruction per week. If anyone has ideas let me know! Thank yooouuu

Strange package from CTDI, Mt Joliet, TN

Multiple people have reported receiving a small package from CTDI. Address is correct but the recipient name is incorrect. Package contains a coax cable and a link to 'download instructions'.
(I don't think we have any device which works off a coax)
Is this some kind of elaborate scam?
Does anyone have any information about this?

Just moved to Alpharetta, would love to meet other women in their 20s!

Hi, I just moved to Alpharetta from Chicago a few months ago for work, and I love the area so far from what I've explored. I haven't made a very conscious effort to meet people, but would love to start making friends to try new restaurants/coffee shops, go on walks or short hikes, watch movies/comedy shows, or even just chill at home and watch movies or cook together. I'm 25, so I'd like to try and meet friends who are at a similar place in life - feel free to DM if you're interested! Open to meeting guys as well if you're down to just be friends.

Mechanic for Mercedes Benz?

Is there a go-to mechanic that you use for the Benz outside the dealership? Now that my cars warranty is over the dealership is too expensive to work with in case of any ... Do you have a mechanic that you typically go to?

Good Hair Cut

Men’s Hair cut options

Looking for good hair cut place where ‘just a trim’ doesn’t result in a whole box full of electric razors coming out and shearing all the hair off. Some place which can work with traditional (longish) hair cuts and maintain the styling. Most places listen to what you want - translate it somehow - and end up with fades and tapers and what not 🙄🙄

Protect The Scarecrows

Alpharetta's 19th Annual Scarecrow Harvest brings over 150 scarecrows to life, celebrating the creativity and pride of our schools, families, and local businesses. These displays aren't just cute—they're a labor of love, with our community pouring time, resources, and heart into spreading joy.

Unfortunately, some of these scarecrows have been vandalized. Let's be honest—it's just downright un-Alpharetta.

A few gentle reminders:

  • Look with your eyes, not your hands. No scarecrow wrestling, please.
  • Damaging or stealing from these displays? Yeah, that's a no.
  • Many of these scarecrows were made by kids—don’t be that person.
  • If you see someone tampering with the displays, please speak up and let us know.

The scarecrows will be on display until November 2. Let's ensure they remain intact (and leave the smashing pumpkins to, well, The Smashing Pumpkins).

Thanks for keeping the fun alive and respecting the creativity in our community. To see a list of the 2024 Scarecrow Competition winners, please visit the City of Alpharetta Recreation, Parks, Cultural Services page.
