Counted at least 9 cop cars at the little shopping center between the QT and McDonald’s off Lexington.
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.
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?
I’m looking into learning more about herbal medicine and was wondering if there were any classes in Athens or at the university?
Cheapest place to get tires changed? Last time I went to Cycle World it was over $100 for front and rear (wheels off bike, new tires that I supplied).
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?
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.
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.
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.
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..
Does anyone know about kickoff fest? We had bought tickets to go, but we received a message today that it was cancelled. Does anyone know why?

We need to designate an Ort 2.0. Who do you think fits the bill?
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.
Does anyone know of any photographers doing Christmas photo shoots in the Athens area ?
Are there any places that sell scrubs in Athens like a medical supply store or something other than Walmart?
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?
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.
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!
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
One time i got really drunk at wonderbar and got to meet a guy who identified himself as a Muslim juggalo. Can’t remember his name but just wondering if he’s real or if it was a fever dream
He or she is very friendly.
I know this has been asked and i tried to research but can anyone recommend a self serve car wash? The ones where you insert quarters for time … all of the ones I try are out of business or don’t work
