Pediatrician and Daycare recommendations?

Hi y'all! My family will be moving to the Alpharetta/Johns Creek area for my new job this coming summer. We have an infant who will be around 7 months at the time of our move. Do you guys have any good recommendations for pediatricians and daycare?

We have a couple of family friends out there but their kids are well-past the daycare stage.

Please and thank you!

Lifetime Fitness locations

Moving to the area and will be looking at Lifetime fitness. Is there a difference between the Alpharetta and John's Creek locations? Generally like to go from 8 - 11am everyday after I take my kid to school. Mostly lift weights but also like to play pickelball and steam. Thanks for any insight.

I know the reviews are really poor so it's possible I just end up at a crossfit gym.

Places with beautiful high up views

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone knew of any trails/hills, mountains, libraries or just locations in general that I could go to and see the city from high up. When I was living in Canton, I remember going to Kennesaw Mountain often and being able to see the beauty of the city from high up. I also used to go to Stone Mountain and be able to see a lot of Georgia from up there. It doesn’t have to be a trail or a mountain or a hill. It doesn’t even have to be outdoors. It could also be something like a library or a restaurant or another type of location. But I was wondering if there are places I can drive or walk or go to where I can see the sky and the beautiful views of the city from high up.

Time to cut down Tree City USA sign

Who are we trying to kid? BTW there are still about 50 along Haynes Bridge that they have missed. Instead of reporting potholes, city ordinance violations and faulty stoplights we should report trees still standing to help developers become more efficient in cutting them down.

Serious Inquiry: Looking for Someone to Take Over My Apartment in Alpharetta (Not Subleasing)

Hey everyone, is anyone looking for a 1 bedroom apartment in the Alpharetta area? I recently moved out due to a job relocation and am still being charged rent, so I’m hoping to find someone to take over my lease. This is a great community, and I just can’t cover two rent payments.

Important: This is not a sublease—you’ll be going through the regular leasing process with the management company.

Details: • Rent: ~$1,600/month with minimal additional fees • Location: AMLI North Point (Right by North Point Mall & Shopping Plaza) • Availability: Ready for move-in around February 10th

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, feel free to DM me!

Best place to buy 10 Hydrangeas plants for yard

Folks - I need to buy 10 Hydrangea plants to replace existing plant in my front yard. What is the best place to buy those ?

Since I'm buying a large quantity I want to make sure they are best quality & the same colors.

I do understand that the acidity level dictates the colors, but I hope to keep the color with the required fertilizer..

Would highly appreciate any pointers as well, since this is the first time we are planting Hydrangeas in our yard.

The plants will be east & south facing, hence decent sunshine.

I think spring would be a good time to plant them so they can root properly for the winter.

Alpharetta/Johns Creek Real Estate is Insane

My husband and I recently moved to the area for a new job and have the hardest time finding a house in the Alpharetta/ Johns Creek area. Everything we’ve seen is either wayyy too old in a nice neighborhood or a new construction in a neighborhood with older homes. Hoping it’s just because inventory is low during January. Can someone give me insight into if it’s been like this for a while? Trying to not lose out hope!

Trivia nights with a more family friendly atmosphere? (Adult level questions)

Hi, I am looking for a place that hosts trivia nights that doesn't have a too intense bar atmosphere. For reference, I used to go to Verra Zanno years ago for their trivia but they have since closed down for now.

Sublet Warehouse Space?

Figure it’s a long shot, but we’re looking for some warehouse space and wanted to see if someone here might be able to help.

We are looking to store automotive parts, and possibly fulfill orders out of the location. Nothing larger than a standard pallet. The business would not be registered to the address and we would be happy to ship from another location if you would prefer not having anything attached to your address.

Thank you in advance!

Pet supply consignment shops around town?

We've adopted a rescue and are gathering supplies while he heals from surgery. We had a family pet for 15 years, but once she passed, out kids cleaned took all the supplies for their own pets. It's amazing to realize how much you acquired when you have to reassemble it all in an online shopping cart (especially when you know from experience what is durable/useful and therefore expensive).

When you have a baby, there are all kinds of consignment shops to help you stock, but I'm not aware of a similar concept for new pet parents. I'd rather not meet up with strangers on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. Are there any shops like that in Atlanta?

Backyards for rent

This may seem like an absurd question but is there anyone who owns a home with a backyard they don't really use and don't really care how it looks who'd be willing to lend it to someone looking to start gardening? I only have a patio so can't grow more than a few things here. Ideally looking to grow in ground as opposed to in containers.
