This is gonna sound really stupid, but have any of y'all seen any UFOs recently out there?
Hey y’all - going from Austin to Atlanta here in a few weeks as a family of 4. We have a 3 year old and a 4 month old. Can you recommend some family friendly spots that are well lit to get gas, change a diaper, and have super clean bathrooms for my toddler? No restaurant needed but fast food wouldn’t hurt.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a Porsche mechanic nearby?
If I wanted to park my car at the Amtrak station in Meridian for several days, would there be good or high chance of break in or theft? Amtrak parking lots have open, uncovered lots. Just making sure.
Hey y’all I’m a 23m just moved here looking to meet some people. Any bar recommendations? Or really any place really to meet people.
Hey fine folks of Meridian!
I'm returning to your fine city after a few years for a work trip this week. What's good? Open for any and all recommendations... I hear you have a new Indian restaurant! Bonita lakes park worth visiting? I'll be back again so feel free to give me more ideas than I could take advantage of.
Curious though, when I was there last I saw this street art and am very curious if the artist (or community) is still thriving?
Thank you for your time!

Hi! I'm moving to Meridian in the next month or two (the timeline isn't set in stone yet) and I was wondering if there's any ttrpg groups that are willing to take on another member. If there's a better place to post about this, I'd love to know that, too. I've only ever played D&D (5e) but I'm more than happy to learn other game systems if necessary! Feel free to reach out if you have a group or know a better place to search for one, or if you have any questions for me! Thanks!
What the hell do people do to make new friends here besides work? 25 M just needing some new people to interact with
Do y’all remember the radio contest where someone could win free tickets to the premiere of Blair Witch Project and watch the movie inside of a coffin? Do any of y’all know who won it personally? Always wondered if someone documented winning this contest.

I’m assuming this sub is familiar with Hartley Peavy.
In 1974 ish Hartley was on a sales trip and visited Reds Royal Amp in Hollywood CA. Back then Peavy sold mostly guitar amplifiers.
Fender sales reps had recently threatened Red with loosing the ability to sell Fender guitars and amps because they carried Peavey amps. Hartley was pissed and loudly complained, then said “I can just build guitars, you won’t need Fender”
A guitar tech working for Red at the time heard this, and told Hartley he could build guitars better than Fender could. That tech was Dave Schecter.
Hartley took Dave very serious and flew him to Meridian to scout a guitar factory location. Hartley offered Dave $200 a week and $0.25 per guitar built.
Ultimately Dave declined the offer, and in 1976 started his own guitar company, Schecter Guitar Research in Van Nuys CA.
From 1979 till their bankruptcy in 1984 Schecter built some of the best Fender knock offs ever called ‘Dream Machines’. Anything built at the Van Nuys factory is collectible and very expensive today.
Had Dave partnered with Hartley instead of his idiot partners in Van Nuys, Peavey guitars might have been the best ever. Oh well.

Hey there everybody
We are a rock band from Miami Beach. Our studio album features members of New Found Glory, Agent Fresco, and Pearl Jam.
We are embarking on a small tour that culminates in the first musical performance at the Catacombs since 1897 as part of the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremonies.
Leading up to our historic performance, we would like to have small intimate performances in haunted (or rumored to be haunted) places. It can be silly or creepy, we are shooting a mixture of both. We will be filming both concert footage and music footage in these places.
Since Reddit has always been a great forum for us to find places in the States, we are wondering if you guys had any suggested haunted venues that could work for a small music performance. We also were wondering if anyone here would like to help out and be extras in the film (we have extra plague doctor masks). If interested in being an extra, please send us a private message.
For those of you that haven’t heard of our music, here is a link to our Spotify (we are on Apple and YouTube as well but don’t wanna overwhelm with links)

Thanks and hope to get some creative responses!
