Two Osprey Helicopters Over North Athens

Saw them over Newton Bridge going east. Anyone know why we’d have military choppers like that out in our neck of the woods?

Emergency Drill Scheduled

A large sign is posted on Newton Bridge road that reads that an "Emergency Drill" is scheduled for November 4. Can someone explain to me what this means, please?

ACC Advance Voting has seen 50% turnout so far

Half of Athens-Clarke County's registered voters have cast a ballot thus far. These historic percentages are a national phenomenon, which I certainly hope bodes well for the future of our representative democracy.

Please help find a lost cat

This is my friend’s cat, Melody. She was last seen on Habersham drive. She’s super friendly and loves cheese. My dear friend is devastated that she got out to chase some birds. If you’ve seen sweet Smelly Melly, please message me. She’s done everything else and alerted every other platform to find her.

Transphobic halloween candy

I don't know which of the Trump flag flying houses in the neighborhood was giving out this shit to my kid, but it's obnoxious. That's what I get for trying to be neighborly and not avoid their houses. I was literally thinking "Hey I don't agree with everyone's politics, but at least we can all just enjoy Halloween."

I'm looking for a local Japanese tutor. Any ideas of where to start?

I'm interested in doing an international trip to Japan sometime next year. I already have a few language books, including both Genki 1 and Genki 2. I'm mostly concerned about speaking and listening skills. A native speaker would be ideal, but I'm open to anything! Thanks, y'all!

Peach pass?

Just got a new car and am already missing my pass. Anywhere local you can pick up a peach pass transponder? I've called the CVS and Walgreens and they don't carry it anymore. Haven't seen them at Kroger either. Don't really want to wait until it gets mailed to me.

Animals in parades

Was anyone else bothered by the animals in the Wild Rumpus? They seemed distressed.

Lost white dog

Hi all, getting onto loop 10 going from the mall to the tallassee exit was a white husky looking dog. Just posting to see if anyone’s missing a friend. Poor guy looked really scared :( I called the non emergency line and they said they’d let animal control know

Did anyone get trick-or-treaters?

We haven’t seen any come by, and I had coworkers mentioned they didn’t have any either. Are people waiting until the weekend to do it instead? Or is it not a thing anymore?

Anyone here live in Athens in the 90’s? Know anyone that worked at Zim’s Bagel Bakery?

I was the kitchen manager hired when Zim’s expanded and started the hot/cold food/salad bar. Looking to reconnect with some old colleagues. Or just reminisce. TIA
