Too early for a sea of flashing blues

Counted at least 9 cop cars at the little shopping center between the QT and McDonald’s off Lexington.

Psychic in or around Athens 🔮

Has anyone had good or bad experiences with psychics in or around Athens? It's something I've always wanted to visit at least once for the experience.

Raising meat quail

I can’t have chickens right now, but would like to get back into raising some of our food. I’m considering quail for meat and eggs and it’s completely new to me. Anyone have experience in this area?

Photo printing services recommendation

I have a photo of my grandpa, probably taken in the 1930s, that I would like to get digitally copied and then have a high quality print of to gift my aunt for the holidays. Any recommendations of a photo studio/camera store up to the task?

Clarke/ Oconee schools, etc

Howdy y’all. My husband’s grandma died 1.5 years ago and we can move into her house in Oconee county (his mother inherited the house but she lives out of state). It’s only about ten minutes from us (East Athens). Even though this would be a significant help to us financially (husband is in grad school) and it would good for the house to be lived in, we’ve been hesitant because our kids are super happy in their current Clarke county schools. Any luck with keeping kids in CCSD but living in Oconee? Everything I’ve found online is about doing this within a district. Or any experiences having an LGBTQ+ kid in the Oconee school district? We know the schools rate well. We have other concerns. Thank y’all.

How many shelters are there in Athens?

I'm a single mom who is currently at one of the shelters in Athens. I moved here from another city. I know there are a few other shelters but are there possibly any that google might not have? Like any church based shelters or shelters that are specifically for families? I know some shelters such as Bigger Vision don't allow children.

Question about daycares in Athens

I'm a single mom currently staying at a shelter and right now the shelter is paying for my son's daycare until my exit date so that I can start working because they know that a parent can't work if they don't have childcare set up. I finally got a job but I'm not sure how much longer I can afford the daycare after I'm out of the shelter. And no I don't have family that can help me. And no I don't have child support yet either.

Are there any cheaper daycares or babysitters in Athens? My son is 14 months old.

Kalki signs on the eastside

To the individual(s) who put Kalki signs around voting locations, major intersections, and all over my neighborhood please come remove them. Maybe Kalki should hire an outside group to help him with this task..

We need to designate an Ort 2.0. Who do you think fits the bill?

Breakfast on the east side?

Where is it at? We really need at least one solid breakfast joint that isn’t Waffle House. Dunkin’ is not good, doesn’t count.

Will UGA vs Tennessee game 11/16 be on at Georgia Theatre?

Title says it all really. Since I’m too poor to afford the ticket to the game was wondering if GATH would be showing it on the big screen ? They don’t have an event booked so im thinking there is a chance ? Anyone know?

Where to meet other chronically ill/disabled folks who are COVID conscious

I’m 32F and looking to meet other people in similar situations as me. Also would be a bonus if they are part of the LGBTQ+ community and liberal leaning.

Posting Flyers?

Hi y’all! I’m starting my own business (not trying to advertise here since it’s against subreddit rules!!) but I was wondering where the best places were to put up flyers in Athens? I know the library has a bulletin board and I was thinking of asking some of the Joe’s locations, but I would really appreciate any other suggestions!

Tips on fighting/lowering fine on speeding ticket?

I was driving on the 5th to go home and vote, and as I was passing through barrow. Cop says he clocked me at 85, (20 over), though in reality my speedometer read 80 (15 over) and I was already slowing down as he clocked me. I don’t have any proof of the speed but I was fined $547 for my first offense. I’m mainly looking for tips on getting the fine lowered potentially or fighting it in general
