firearm classes minus Trump idolatry

In search of gun businesses that are not blatant Trump temples. Anywhere in the broad Atlanta metro is fine. Thank you, neighbors.

Thanksgiving alone

Anyone else going to be spending the holiday alone? Suggestions for things to do, places to eat? I’ll probably end up going to Waffle House.

Is PTC just another boring suburban city?

I moved from Kennesaw (where I went to school) to Charleston and am now moving back to GA with my boyfriend to be closer to family. I am looking at PTC since I have heard great things.

My boyfriend HATED Kennesaw. He hated how it was just a small suburban city with nothing to do, there was no nature or good fishing lakes, and the restaurants sucked. (He loves to fish.) I really want to move to PTC, but he is on the fence.

My question is— is it anything like Kennesaw, another boring city outside of Atlanta just filled with chain restaurants? Or is it really the cute and cozy community people describe?

Software Engineer - Looking for Work

Good afternoon,

I'm a software engineer living in Peachtree City and I'm looking for work. I graduated in 2020 so I'm still fairly new to software engineering. I also was just accepted into GA Tech's online CS Master's program, so I should be learning more shortly.

I'm looking for any CS related job in reasonable distance of Peachtree City, and if anyone has any leads on where I should apply that would be appreciated.

I know we have Panasonic in town, but they seem to only be hiring for "senior" roles.

I'm also a Veteran.

P.S. I also am experienced with PC building, running/terminating network cables, and general IT tasks.

Nonprofits?

I currently live in Charleston (originally from Atlanta area) and am moving back to Georgia next year in PTC.

I am currently getting my Master’s in clinical mental health counseling and now need to look for internships in PTC for my clinical year. Anyone know any good nonprofits or any practices in need of an intern? I am mainly interested in working with trauma victims and children.

Wings?

Is there anywhere left that has decent sized wings that are over 1$ per wing? Love wings, but hate paying 18$ for 12 wings the size of Jolly Ranchers and celery that I won’t eat.

Golf cart charging locations?

Is there a map, list, or an app that shows public charging locations for electric golf carts? If so, does anyone have a link to it?

If it doesn’t exist, and anyone wants to help gather a list of locations with me, I’d be willing to make the app myself for all to use freely. I’m new to the area so it’s hard to know where I can and can’t charge it. If I can put together a list though, I’d love to create an app similar to the golf cart navigating apps that show public charging locations.

Peachtree city Ga??

My husband and I have three kids under the age of 5, we are looking to move to Peachtree city Ga. Is this a good area? Good schools? What's there to do in other cities near by? We are 25 and still like to go out sometimes, we are moving from Florida so we know to expect a difference in things to do. Recommendations for nice 3 bedroom apartments? I'm having a hard time finding legit reviews for some places it seems like they just flood the good reviews making it seem to good to be true.

Thinking about moving to PTC.

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about moving to Peachtree City, GA as a single person of color with a $74k salary, having heard you need at least 100k to live comfortably sounds daunting. Wondering if it’s a good fit—how’s the cost of living, renting options (Considering Camden Apartments at the moment), and the social scene for someone in their mid 20s? Also curious if it's a welcoming place and how the commute to West Point city is. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

Edit: Sorry for the late edit, but what I meant by social scenes was not like bars and clubs or anything, much more like sports and outdoor activities to do with a group. I am a homebody myself so I like to spend time at home a lot.

Edit 2: Sorry for the confusion but I realised I put Atlanta and not West Point where I would actually work.

Anyone able to see the comet?

Hey folks.

Tsuchinshan–ATLAS is supposed to be visible around sunset through the end(ish?) of October or so, getting higher in the sky but dimmer as the month wears on.

My wife has been going outside around dusk for the past few days but she hasn’t been able to spot it, even with her binoculars and a stargazing app. Too many trees around our house.

Has anyone been able to see it and can recommend a good public spot where she can go to check it out? She would be thrilled. I think she’ll be pretty disappointed if she can’t spot it this time. The 80,000 year wait for the next time might be a bit of a stretch.

Selling home FSBO in PTC, need advice

Hello, my husband and I moved to PTC a year ago. We bought a house and wanted to start a family and settle down in the City. Unfortunately, he ended up being laid off and we had to relocate far sooner than we wanted to. It is forcing us to sell our home. We talked to a few real estate agents and with a 6% commission and needing to pay taxes for not being in our home for 2 years, going that route would cause us to lose almost $40,000, 5% brings it down to $30,000. We also looked at renting until we gain equity, but the quote we got would be losing us $200/mo in management fees. So we decided to try and sell by owner, but still offer a buyer agent commission so we would only lose half of that amount. We had 3 different agents price it for us, so we are confident in the price then we posted it on the MLS using a flat fee agent. It had showings, but no real movement or offers. The 30 days for the MLS listing expired, so now we are left with a strict ForSaleByOwner (FSBO) status. As such we have been getting nonstop calls from investors looking to purchase the property to rent it out. A couple calls to view the property, but nowhere near the near impossible amounts of calls from agents wanting to sell for us, or foreign entities wanting to swoop in and develop the property. I have moral issues with selling to an investment firm, as I think homes in PTC should remain in the hands of private families rather than conglomerate businesses. However, my husband thinks we should just sell to let it go and not worry about who buys it.

Has anyone else sold FSBO in the area? Is there any opinions on homes in the area being bought out by investment firms? Any ideas on how to get the word out that it is For Sale without an agent? We are aware we are going to lose a chunk of money in the process of selling this home, we are just trying to minimize the damage so any advice is appreciated.

Anyone worried about the chemical plant fire fumes and if they could head our way?

The chemical plant fire that started yesterday in Conyers is releasing so many chemicals into the air still today. I am just curious if this is something we should worry about being carried in the air to our area. They have extended the shelter in place for Rockdale county but it seems a bit naive, maybe, to think that those chemicals will not travel in the air.

Any thoughts?
