Hi all,

I live downtown Decatur and am interested in giving yoga a try to improve my flexibility and balance (I practice capoeira and my balance and flexibility are limiting me right now).

I'm fat and I'm a yoga beginner. I'm looking for something that's beginner friendly and would prefer to practice at 70 - 75 degrees instead of 90+ if possible (but I am flexible on this point).

I tried Highland Yoga and it was far too fast for me and was focused on experienced users. I'm open to driving 10 - 15 minutes, and have heard good things about Yonder Yoga, but would prefer something walkable from home if possible.

I'm also open to other methods for improving flexibility and balance. There is a Pure Barre right around the corner from me but I'm not sure how helpful it would be.

Thank you for the feedback!

So i'm a first time home buyer looking to buy close to the intersection of Lavista Road and Briarlake road. Was looking for thoughts on the area?

Since I'm not sure if I can stay here beyond 5 years, is it a safe area. Would a potential buyer down the line be okay with the schools around this area.

Trying to save some cash, and clearing our wild backyard myself. I can do the clearing, but I'm not sure what is best to do with all the debris.

It's a very wooded yard, with about 8 oak trees on .8 of an acre. It's been neglected for 1-2 decades, and has a lot of small trees I am removing by hand. I can do that part, but I'm not sure what to do with this huge pile of 2-4 inch thick trees and limbs I'm piling up. It's all too green to burn, and way too much small debris (sticks/leaves still attached to the trees) to really work it down myself without destroying my body.

Are there services that will drag it out of the yard and haul it off? Or, can I call someone to just chip it up where it's sitting and leave the chips? ORRRR, is there something like a chipper rental where they will drop it off and pick it up (I don't have a truck or a hitch)? Looking for any good recommendations on what is most practical and manageable without having to spend too much, otherwise this pile is just going to sit in the yard for a year or so until I can start slowly burning it.

Something is being filmed on N Candler tomorrow. Usually pretty easy to find info on these things but can’t find anything on this one. I think the production code is “BW”.

My friends and I are looking for places to go tonight dressed up in costume! Little Cottage is on our list, maybe Independent Distillery…who else is having a Halloween party tonight?

Hey all! I'm curious as to where there's some good trick or treating on Halloween. We've got a younger one (4) and just moved into a new neighborhood, so unsure of where the best place to bring him would be. We're south of East Lake but don't mind driving! Thanks!

Any suggestions for where to watch the World Series games in Decatur?

Just saw the news on Instagram. Crazy how it's only been open for 2 years.

I am looking for a new barber that can help. My son doesn't know how to express what he wants for his hair. He needs someone that will take their time with him and listen as well as offer suggestions based on his face shape, hair texture, and personal style. Anyone have suggestions. I hate him getting his haircut and it being such a miserable experience.

Edit: for added context he is 16 and he wants something a little longer but just doesn't know how to explain it on he own.

Edit 2: for more context he has thick white kid.

I need word processing assistance with a ~80 page document (and I am in the decatur area). Attention to detail and significant experience with Word required. Good pay if I can find the right person. Please dm me with any ideas in or around Decatur.

Looking for a photographer who is queer friendly and will include our dogs.

I did a ride-by of the memorial drive office for early voting and it was out the door. Has anyone experienced shorter wait times at other locations maybe a little farther from town?

I have a little guy who really needs some off-leash time somewhere safe where he can also socialize. Are there any dog parks with a small dog section in Decatur? The only one I know of is Piedmont.

I’m looking at my sample ballot and I don’t know anything about these people.

Hey! 23 y/o looking for a dnd group, preferably with other queer people in their twenties. I've got 2 years experience playing, if you run a group or know someone who's looking for players I'd love to know!

I am looking for alternate transportation for my son to school up there. Hope to hear from someone.

Where do you all recommend getting a jumpsuit on a budget. I have made a couple of rounds at Marshall’s and Ross, but haven’t found one that I like.

Favorite places to get house plants, pots, and outdoor plants. Could be fun places or great deals. For fun places, I like the Wylde center in oakhurst Any co-ops?

Anyone have a good suggestion for where to find dried guajillo chilies in the Decatur area? This cooler weather puts me in the mood to make some veggie pozole.

Recommendations on the best deal/place to pick up bagged ice here in Decatur?

hey, does anyone know of any abandoned places in or around decatur?

What’s the best place to get a good deli sandwich in or around Decatur? I like Kelly’s market and Oakhurst Market as a second, looking for other suggestions, please. A little outside Decatur is fine too. Thanks

Is the tap water contaminated from the chemical fire? I’m hearing mixed things, but drinking bottled water to be safe as of now.

My family and I evacuated the Asheville area post Helene to stay with family here. I'm noticing an incredible amount of flight traffic that I've never seen before.

To be clear, we are in unincorporated Decatur, just east of Gresham Park. I was sitting outside this morning and, without exaggeration, a plane flew over ever 2 minutes. My mom has had this house almost 25 years and I dont remember it being that bad. Maybe my nerves are just fried because of recent events, but I feel certain I would have noticed this.

Does anyone know about a recent change to flight paths? I'm hopeful it's temporary maybe due to flight backlog or relief flights.

Any insights appreciated

Is this anything to worry about? From GEMA:

“The current weather models show the winds will begin to shift from the east to the west after sunset Wednesday. Smoke is predicted to settle towards the ground as it moves toward Atlanta. There is a high likelihood that people across Metro Atlanta will wake up on Thursday morning seeing haze and smelling chlorine.”

I wish there were more coverage of this incident. Wondering if others have found more news to share on this.
