Moving to Brunswick, GA in January and am trying to figure out some good spots to wade fish. Specifically for speckled trout or redfish, but fish are fish. I’ve been fly fishing for several years, but am always looking for tips when exploring a new place.
hey guys! i'm looking for a bartending job. i have lots of barista experience and very very minimal bartending experience, but i'm great at working with my hands and customer service. most of the bartending jobs on indeed (or other job boards) require experience. is there anywhere i can apply to gain some experience and maybe work full time? i'm open to work on the islands as well! :)
I just accepted a new job in Southeastern GA and have the freedom to live in a few different cities. I love Savannah, but it’s just a tad too far of a drive to some of the properties I manager. I’ve been looking at Brunswick, but am trying to get an of what it’s actually like to live there. I am a guy in his late twenties who really enjoys the outdoors, but also enjoy live places to eat and drink. What are the people like there? Is the crime really that bad? What kind of nightlife, if any, is there?
Hello, everyone!
My name is Jabari, and I am your local accountability reporter with The Current. I’m returning to Reddit to seek sources for two potential stories I’m considering.
The first story focuses on the Sheriff’s Department. If you have worked for the GC Sheriff’s Department or know someone who has in the past 3-4 years and would be willing to speak on the record, I would greatly appreciate your help.
The second story I’m exploring is about the rise of Live Oak Fiber. I would like to talk to anyone who has recently switched from Xfinity to Live Oak or to new residents who have chosen Live Oak as their service provider. From my observations, Live Oak seems to be growing steadily, and I want to understand more.
Additionally, I'm interested in hearing from parents who either support or disapprove of the current elementary school rezoning proposal and would like to share their views on the record.
I am always open to news tips and eager to hear them. If you're interested, you can reach out to me via DM for my personal number or through my email at Jabari.gibbs@thecurrentga.org. Thank you!
Looking for some firewood for my fire pit as weather cools Any local source rrxommended?
Can anyone recommend a derm that actually specializes in hair loss?
I was in downtown on first friday and saw this new indian restaurant opening up, it looks really good and I talked to the owner, he’s a nice british guy whos really enthusiastic about the new place. Have y’all heard much about it?
I have a family medical emergency and need to get my mom, brother, and me to Athens sometime over the next several days. We don’t have a car nor an easy way to rent a car to get there ourselves. Are there any local churches, charities or organizations who could shuttle us there? It will be a one-way trip with minimal luggage with us.
Still new to the area, and with how Helene hit us I have to ask. Are there any concerns at the moment and Milton here in the golden isles?
I live out in Brantley (Waynesville) but I do all my shopping in Brunswick and I do DoorDash out that way, but I haven't been into town since the hurricane hit. Looking to come to town and do delivery possibly Friday and/or Saturday, probably pick up some groceries and things afterward.
Is most everything back up and running? Any major areas still down that I should know about? Do most of the restaurants have power again? Any info I can get ahead of time will be helpful.
Last night Ga Power updated their map to show approximate times for power restoration. Hopefully those on REA and Satilla have similar updates for their power returning. It shouldn't be long.
How is everyone doing? My area seems to be swish cheese of people having/not having power. A friend of mine in the city proper said they lost power for 10 mins and it's been up ever since. Is there word on when we can expect power to be restored?
Alright I’m back! Looking for some good spots/tips to catch some clams in the area. If you got any lemme know, thanks!
Hello! My name is Jabari Gibbs and I’m a reporter with The Current GA, Georgia’s only nonprofit investigative newsroom. I’m working on an investigation into employee experiences at the Glynn County Sheriff’s Office and am looking to speak with someone who has worked there in the last 3-4 years.
If that’s you or someone you know, I want to hear from you. Let me know your experiences in the comments below or via DM. Your responses could help inform my reporting.
Thank you!

So I saw an article today that says the Glynn Co. DA isn't trying cases for juveniles because of a lack of funds. I've got a solution to that problem.
I was born in Brunswick, at the "Glynn Brunswick Memorial Hospital" but at 5 years old we moved to Cobb county (up near Atlanta). So the cops up in Cobb used to do this thing where they'd roll out to a random school every day, 3 or 4 of them, and they'd start tagging people for speeding through active school zones. Those tickets are expensive AF, and nearly indefensible in court. Good revenue source. And they'd have 3-5 cars pulled over at one time waiting in line to get tickets written. On each end of the zone.
Another thing that could be done is set up some red light cameras on specific lights: Altama Connector & Altama Ave; Altama Conn. & GA 25 Spur; Altama Ave. & GA 25 Spur; Altama Ave & 4th Street; Chapel Crossing Rd & US Highway 17; GA 25 Spur & Canal Rd; GA 25 Spur & Chapel Crossing Rd; GA 25 Spur & Scranton Rd. Any of these lights would pay for the camera system in a week, and continue to generate revenue for some time because people treat all these red lights, currently, like a suggestion.
Also, they could enforce handicap parking, and just have a cop roll through the parking lot where Publix is every so often and start writing tickets for everyone parked in the fire lane from Papa John's down to China One.
You know what you almost never see? A Glynn county cop pull someone over north of 4th street for traffic violations. I watched a person run a red light in front of a cop, the cop had to brake to let them through then just rolled right on through the intersection like he didn't almost just get hit by a person running a red light. I was sitting on Altama at the Spur red light one day, waiting to head north through the intersection (like I'm heading towards Target) and, despite the fact that my light turned green to proceed straight, the opposite turn lane had 13 cars run the damn left turn light. 6 pairs of cars in the 2 turn lanes, then 1 straggler behind all of them. I was driving past the new Altama Elementary one day not long into its first semester and I'm doing 25 mph, because it's an active school zone. There's kids out on the sidewalks, there's a small group on the median waiting to walk across, kids everywhere. This black truck runs up behind me in the right lane then flies over into the left lane and proceeds to do at least 45 or 50 down the road. One dumb kid is all it would have taken for there to be tragedy, 'cause no way he'd have reacted in time.
TL;DR: Glynn county has a serious lack of traffic enforcement, and shoring that up would be an amazing revenue generator for the county, along with making it much safer to drive in. Because currently I feel like the majority of drivers are okay with getting to Walmart, or the ER, and they truly don't care which.
It’s information dense but this documentary about Jekyll island is a must watch. Giant Indians? Maybe from ancient Assyria? The federal reserve is shitty AND evil??
Hey, everyone! I’m taking online photography and my final project will be to do a photo essay of my choosing, and I’ve chosen to do a photowalk of the Golden Isles. I know I want to photograph around Jekyll, St. Simons, and downtown Brunswick, but where would be the best location to snap a photo of the Sidney Lanier?
Any other suggestions for places and things to photograph would also be appreciated!
I just read in the courier journal that the AVERAGE salary for a UPS driver is 170k! Now, I realize GA doesn't pay like that, but would be interested in knowing how far off we are from the national avg. I read where they are cutting 12k jobs this year, with 75% already finalized. Horrible what this economy is doing the job market. However, maybe they could replace the customer service people who are lucky enough to work in air conditioning all day, but have zero people skills with some of this poor drivers who spend every summer dripping sweat all day. Some of the people behind the desk act like they are doing you a favor to make eye contact. I hate going in that place!
Brunswick is beautiful day or night. One of my favorite spots is the pier, especially at night. It's the best place and time to get high. I'm loner and it just really does it for me.
Son just loved here. We found a nice used couch but need a truck for a hour. Looks like home depot doesn't do the hourly pickup rental anymore. Do yiu know of any services that will pickup and deliver an item locally. Doesn't seem worth it to rent an entire moving van.
