Howdy! Any tips on how best to socialize and meet neighbors in Decatur? Are there any fun block parties, events, town square things, clubs, tango nights, breakdancing crews, flash disco, book clubs, etc.? How do you do it? Any recommendations? I live near Downtown Decatur if that helps, but I'm not afraid to bike or drive around. Doesn't need to be strictly Decatur but I'd like to meet people in town, that would be cool.

Has anyone heard anything new recently about a Trader Joe’s potentially going in? I had read an article on Decaturish from Dec ‘23, but haven’t heard anything since. I’m waiting on pins & needles over here hoping this becomes reality!!

Hey everyone! I’ll be moving to City of Decatur in about a month and wanted to hear from locals about safety and crime. I know the surrounding areas are pretty unsafe as I’m hearing about shootings happening almost on a weekly basis, but what about City of Decatur? Thanks!

What is the vision?

It seems the latest projects are intended to stop people from using cars at all - Coventry and Adair are the latest in a long line of absolute design disasters for traversing the city in any modality other than on foot.

I understand the strategy as “constrict all roads that we control and let GDOT sort out Scott and Clairmont”. But that will ruin the city in the meantime.

Please someone explain the vision for the future in a way that supports having all traffic flow from north to south via City of Decatur owned streets.

A local clinic (on Snapfinger Pky) is offering free blood tests as part of a national study about heart disease. They test your Lp(a) levels, which can be an indicator for heart disease risk, and call you later with your test results.

You get a $45 Visa gift card at the end of your appointment. The appointment takes 20 minutes.

If you're interested, you can use this link to make your appointment: http://friends.careaccess.com/6DlJ3Q

Anyone know what happened right at the entrance by the busses? Police were roping off a bloody bench.

Hi, does anyone have any contacts at Hess? I am trying to reach someone at the office there but have had no luck.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello all,

My colleague, Onsu Wegner, and I are working on a start-up that is seeking feedback from women of color on their challenges dealing with dryness in curly and coily hair.  We are hosting a design-thinking based workshop in Decatur this Saturday, April 13th and are looking for participants for the workshop.

 If you or someone you know based in Decatur would be a good fit for the experience, please register via our eventbrite. Lunch and a VISA gift card honorarium will be provided for all attendees.

Title is self explanatory. Recently moved to the city of Decatur and I’m looking for Saturday/Sunday morning places that run games inside gyms.

Hi everyone! I’m new to the group. I’m looking to relocate from Atlanta to Decatur. My main criteria for an apartment is safety and cleanliness and a place that allows a cat. Please let me know if you know of any!

I'm looking for an automatic car wash with available vacuums that offers subscriptions near Decatur, hopefully something on the east side. I like Tidal Wave but the one on Candler Rd. near I-20 is a little far away, and I realize that I haven't explored the city enough and am probably missing something closer. Any tips would be appreciated.

New-ish to the area. I really like Bizarre Coffee in Woodstock, but I live in Decatur. I'm trying to find another good place with seasonal menus and interesting flavors, but I haven't found any I've really liked. Any suggestions? Editing to add: I'm not much of a coffee snob, I prefer "fun" coffee. I also like dirty chai that doesn't taste like grass, if that changes any recommendations. Thanks!

Looking for something fairly consistent, maybe 2-4 times a month for a few hours around the Decatur area. Not really sure what kind of volunteering I’m looking for but was thinking maybe something involving mentorship, animals or hospital related! But I could be open to anything new as well

I used to work in a hospital as a CNA, have done some fostering with dogs and was a sub teacher in my undergrad.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions :)

Hello! Y'all have been seeing me a lot asking around about Sgt. Singer's and I've been thinking it's time for me to find new ways to find info about Sgt. Singer's. Because of this, one of my first moves has been to make a new community base for the topic on both instagram and facebook. If yall would like to continue following the progress and help find more info in the future, these will probably be the best ways to do so here on out while I try to figure out my next moves in researching the band and restaurant chain. For everyone else though, thank you so much for the info yall have given me! I really appreciate it and I wouldn't have gotten this far without yall!

Hey all! Moving to Decatur in about a month, 30034. Where I come from, you don’t drink the water because of the DuPont/Chemours plant contamination (PFAS/GenX) of the river. Is it ok to drink Decatur water? Does anybody have any hangups about it? TIA

My wife and I are moving to Atlanta and we have seen multiple houses for rent in the Decatur area, in particular zip code 30032. Can you share your thoughts, experience, or tips about this area? We are a remote workers in our early 30s,moving in from Italy. We don't have kids but we want a place that will be good for a family in the near future. Thank you all in advance!

Hi all, I’m looking for a new PCP in Decatur? Anyone have any recommendations?

I am moving to Decatur in a few months and am looking to buy a condo or small house. I am just wondering why the Waldrop Pl condos are so much cheaper than the other condo locations?

Hello! Im trying to find any info I can on Sgt. Singers Pizza Circus so I can document it to the wiki Im working on, but Im rapidly running out of options. Do yall know some good social medias or subreddits I should try, and also do yall remember anything about the chain? Im tryna find info like menu items and videos of the place at the moment, but also any info helps.

I know Level Up Games has open tables on Mondays, but that tends to be in the middle of the day and then during rush hour times and isn't super favorable timing.

However, I have a table(sized for 2k pts) and a set of terrain to be able to play and live in North Decatur off North Druid Hills. Happy to host as long as you're okay with dogs.

I have a few local friends already who play but we tend to play pretty infrequently due to their family/job responsibilties.

The game is still relatively new to me, but I'm not unfamiliar with tabletop war game style having played a chunk of Guild Ball and X-Wing. I have enough models to fill a 1500 pt table for sure and am approaching enough for 2000pt. My army is the Genestealer Cults. I have most of the rules down but there are a few things that still elude me that I think elude most people unless they are intimately familiar with the game.

A little about me:

Hobbies

• board games spanning things like Gloom/Frost(haven), Everdell, Anachrony, Dune Imperium, Arnak

• Pickleball

• Flavor of the month video games(aRPGs, shooters, rogue lites, survival... pretty much everything)

• Used to be much bigger into craft beer scene(primarily pastry stouts), but don't drink as much any more

• Some light crafty stuff such as 3d printing and woodworking

• Pretty much like playing any sport, but I don't watch them or care about following them

Personal

• 32 year old Male(32/m/Decatur... ha)

• Recently married as of last September

• Two dogs that are both Lab mixes. One is a barker and one is a jumper but the jumper is in weekly training to help

• Make a living in software engineering

• No children

So if you feel like maybe we'd be decent friends and are interested in running some 40k games, shoot me a DM! Heck. Even if you're not interested in 40k but think maybe we would get along, hit me up!

My schedule tends to be pretty open and flexible.

I made this post a bit ago, but basically the low down is that my friend and I are considering moving to ATL from MKE, WI, but Decatur in specific.

She found The Slate Apts and tbh it looks fantastic from an outsiders perspective but being out of state I have no idea what the reputation is, does anyone have any qualms with them or anything good to say?

We are relocating to ATL, and we narrowed down our desired places to buy a house to Avondale Estates and Druid Hills. We like Avondale Estates and Druid Hills because of the walkability and availability of parks/trails, and safety, especially since we have 1 year old child. Schools are less of a factor at this point. We love to take walks with our little one in the evenings and having access to local amenities without needing to drive everywhere.

Since we are coming from out of state, and we are unfamiliar with the area, we would love to get any input on how Avondale Estates and Druid Hills compare in terms of safety, and proximity to amenities. Are there any other area we should put on our radar that could fit our needs? We considered Oakhurst for a second, but it seems a bit over our budget. Medlock Park was a good option, but the lack of sidewalks steered us away.

Thanks in advance for your help!
