How to request for traffic lights at one of the intersections in Cumming ?

It has become very difficult to make turns at intersection of chambleeGap Rd and Bethelview rd (https://maps.app.goo.gl/GURLCXWeYMJYfTPM9) due to rapid growth of communities and traffic here. Not only do you have to wait for at least 4-5mins during peak hrs to be able to safely make the turn but the near misses are there almost everyday and today it was my turn to face it. I had 2 kids in the car and the person coming from chamblee Gap rd crossing the bethelview towards the other side did not yield at the stop sign and just ran it, I was in the middle of making a left turn from chamblee Gap rd onto Bethelview and was almost hit. It scared the daylights out of me. I want to ask the city to install traffic lights over there and don't know where to start looking. Any pointers would be helpful !

Closing attorney costs

What is the average cost for a closing attorney in Forsyth county? We’re looking to buy and wanting to know if we’re getting the best deal. The one recommended to us charges 1300$ when all said and done. Are there cheaper options or is this the average across the board. Thanks!

Moving from PA to GA and in search of a progressive area

My husband and I (31, f, white & 30, m, black) are moving from Bucks county, PA to the south and are nervous! We know south of atlanta has areas with more racial tension, but we’re hoping to find more welcoming areas in Forsyth county. If you’re from there, what areas are more welcoming, and where should we avoid? Right now we’re considering Woodstock, Kennesaw or Acworth (for commute reasons). Thanks so much for any advice!

Anyone looking for K-pop fan gifts?

The Goodwill on Atlanta Hwy (across from chick fil a) had about 40 really cool looking import label box sets of different K-pop bands when I was there tonight around 7:30.

They’re all on the very bottom shelf below the DVD’s.

Totally not my jam, but the packaging and inserts were really nice.

Fun Activitied and Meeting New People

My wife & I moved here about 8 months ago, but haven't really had the chance to find a group of friends here yet because we've been traveling back home so much to help take care of my grandfather who's sick. We are mid 20s, where are good places to make friends & do fun stuff?? We aren't super outdoorsy and I see mostly hiking stuff on similar threads.

wife bent over tailgate by her married ex--I told his wife

AITA-My Wife's Ex Bent her over a Tailgate and Dogged her out.

And the aforementioned event occurred just two or three months after he got married. She wanted him to.

I only recently discovered this occurrence and I feel like I have no clue who I married. The person I thought I married would have never had sex w someone who was married. The person I thought I married certainly wouldn't let someone bend her over the tailgate of a truck in broad daylight and dog her out.

She has always been something of a prude when it comes to sex w me. She never, ever gives oral, but she did for her ex. Her ex also physically abused her.

I have always been sexually adventurous. I will do literally anything. And I have always tried to put my wife at ease.

We rarely have sex and when we do, it seems like a chore for her. Like she's annoyed and just wants to be done with it. YET she told me that I am the only guy who could make her cum. Maybe she is also a liar? Again, I do not know her at all!

For the record, her ex is 7 or 8 years older than her, unemployed, and physically abused her. He has no education past high school.

I have a JD and two masters degrees. I have always been employed and make a good income. I am a Soldier and an athlete. I am covered in tattoos and ripped.

For the record, we were not married but dating when this event took place. She wanted this, it was not due to abuse. I also recently discovered that she sent him covert messages through his sister and has continued to search him on FB through the duration of our marriage.

If he wanted her, she would be with him and not me. I was choice #2.

When I discovered this information, I shared it with his wife. Keep in mind, they had only been married for two or three months before the tailgate sex. AITA

Need Suggestions

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out for some advice and guidance during a challenging time. I live in Suwanee and had been working with my father-in-law to finish our basement. He built houses on the side and was guiding me through the process. Unfortunately, we ran into some setbacks with inspections in Forsyth County, which stalled the project back in June.

Tragically, my father-in-law passed away from a heart attack recently, and we’ve been grieving his loss while trying to figure out how to move forward. Now, I’m in a tough spot because the basement is only partially done, and we need to get it finished so we can sell our house.

I’m looking for a dependable general contractor who can step in and help us get this project completed quickly and efficiently. If anyone has recommendations or advice, I would be so grateful. Thank you in advance for your kindness and support during this time.
