I'm new to the area and have been trying to acquire a rental unit for me and my family. I relocated from Arkansas to Macon, Georgia for a job opportunity. Can any locals tell me about American Ave Property Management? I'm considering using their services to rent a house, however, it seems like the process is too good to be true and it makes me question their reputablness. Any information would greatly be appreciated.

Can anyone suggest any apartments or housing that may be available for a family of six? I recently relocated from Arkansas for work and my family and I have been staying at a hotel until we find a place However, we keep getting turned down due to income, rental history, and credit score. I've spent over $300 on application fees only to be rejected. Is there a property manager or apartment complex willing to accommodate our housing? Any help you can give will help.

Newer guitar player here looking for someone to jam with to give my wife and kids a break from the non stop guitar practice in my living room lol, I’m playing in drop D or drop C focusing mostly on chunky rhythm stuff. I’m not that great of a player but I have a song or two in my arsenal so far.

I wonder if anyone has a fig tree that I could get clippings from nearby? I will totally be respectful while trimming for propagating new plants and share with you what I want them for (my grandma's strawberry fig preserves). I have purchased fig trees from the big box stores around here but they seem to be grafted and ornamental?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been living in Middle Georgia for a while now, and I’m on a mission to connect with people who share a passion for goth, industrial, EBM, darkwave, synthpop, and all the related genres. Think bands like Rotersand, VNV Nation, Covenant, Neurotic Fish, Combichrist, Code 64—you get the vibe.

I’ve realized that waiting to randomly bump into someone wearing a band tee has been, well... less than successful. So I’m taking a more proactive approach to find my music people. I’m open to meeting anywhere across Macon, Bibb County, Milledgeville, or Houston County, and I’d love to start exploring the possibility of hosting small music nights, meetups, or even just hanging out and sharing playlists.

If you’re into this type of music (or know someone who is), drop a comment or DM me. I’m not expecting a full-blown club night—just a space for like-minded people to hang, enjoy the sounds, and maybe build something that could grow over time. Even if you know a venue or DJ who might be open to collaborating, let me know!

Thanks for reading, and let’s bring this sound back to life! 

EDIT: Thank you for the responses so far! If you like a genre that you feel is under represented in this area, feel free to post as well! We might as well exchange some sounds!

Tomorrow!

I'm traveling through Macon for a 1 night stay on I-75. I've stayed at a hotel just East of the interstate before that had a bar inside the hotel, but I can't remember the name. Searching Google was no help. Can someone recommend a hotel with a bar inside close to the interstate please? Not looking for 5 star. I appreciate it!!

The place I stayed at before kind of had an old school feel to the bar area....ya, the bar means more than the room, lol.

Hey all, my husband and I are new to the area. We moved here from Virginia a couple of months ago but just moved into the house we bought about 6 weeks ago.

My husband’s family is from the area and they’re all amazing but all of his cousins have kids and aren’t really into the same things that we are into.

I’m 30 and my husband is 33, we don’t have kids yet and curious to see where people go to meet friends in the area?

I’m homesick and missing my good friends back home. We both really love music (we know the music scene here is great), food, reading, art, hiking, exploring, antiquing, thrifting, etc.

I’m a web developer and work from home so I’d love to meet people my age that I can get together with after work or the occasional weekend.

Seems like it’s hard to make friends at this age. Ahhhh

We are taking a pottery class in a couple of weeks so we’re pretty excited about that!

We live in north Macon and so far we love it here! :)

Been here, really around the area as I live in neighboring town, for a little while. I'm a veteran an I've got that gi bill thing to use an just thinking of going to central georgia tech. So guess I'm wondering if anyone can give opinions on this school. Insights.. etc. Is it a good place..decent atleast?

I don't know what I really want to study/learn..but I do know I only have like 9-10 months of education benefits until it expires. Then there is a cgtc in Warner robins. Are they both the same as far as what you can study? I hope so. Transportation is kinda an issue..so probably won't be able to get to WR everyday or whatever it may be. Or are there other schools to go to... I heard of Gordon State. But ya I don't know if I want to go to a normal like school like that. An again my education benefits will expire sooner than later so just want to try an use what I can an also get some of the pay from it.

Also..for other veterans. Is there decent help for vets. I mean are the va's alright. The people helpful, vso,dav etc? An can help with getting anything such as disability compensations? Decent help with homelessness or at risk veterans. I'm trying to get more involved this year in hopes of getting help both health wise an financially.

Thanks

Does anybody have tickets to eddie 9v this weekend they would want to sell? Looking for 4.

ALL of my courses at CGTC online disappeared randomly. I was just doing my homework last night. I turned in all of the first assignments and everything. I have zero idea why they would just not show up. If you’ve had this issue please help

Heard from a friend that they saw an ICE vehicle pulling into the Walmart lot on Eisenhower today. Just trying to get the news out there

what’s the weed policy? idk why this came to mind but i’m curious

Ive been here around Cherry street area for less than a month. Tonight, 8 pm, was the third or forth time I have heard gunshots. Not one, not two, im talking 12-15 round magazine dumps in succession. These are followed by emergency vehicle sirens a while after. My next move is to record the time between shots and sirens.

Is this normal? Ive also found it to be a Sunday night thing. Anyone?

Yes, I know about firearms and what gunshots sound like.

I have spent the last five months of my life being TORTURED, having every right violated, being disrespected on every level, being set up for failure, having my employer harassed, encountering PREA by staff, eating inedible food, being stressed at every turn about everything, wishing I would get hit by a truck than have to live at this center. I am so surprised this place has a contract with the bureau of prisons. They are racist, sexist, incompetent, unprofessional, rude, lazy, dirty, LIARS. They do not adhere to the rules and regulations of the BOP. These people get off on fucking with your head. All. The. Time. Many employers in Macon refuse to hire people from dismas because of this. Therefore it is a continuous punishment to anyone that comes here as a resident. My advice, do anything you can to NOT come here as a resident or employee. There have been numerous lawsuits against this place, and there are soon to be many more. Please heed my warning, as I myself will do anything in my power to shut this ruckus down. They are taking federal dollars, and putting them straight into their pockets. Corruption doesn’t even begin to describe it. The fuckery is so deep and embedded here, it surprises me this place is still in operation. Someone is definitely being paid off. And someone needs to investigate this organization. ASAP!!!!

Has anyone had any luck obtaining a burn permit on the county's new website? Every day I go to look, they are not issuing any.

I know I am posting this on a Sunday and no permits are issued today, but I've been monitoring the website for a while. Just curious if anyone has had any experience with this website?

Guys, there is a seemingly sweet girl going around asking for money. She's very young, maybe early 20's, very petite, make-up well done, light brown eyes and brown hair. She will approach you with a hand written note that's mentions hardships for her and her younger siblings. While you read it, she'll tug at your heartstrings with a sad look and a sob story saying they're new to the area and have no money. She looks Caucasian, however, she speaks very good Spanish with almost no accent.

My first encounter with her was about 6-months to a year ago at the Home Depot. Today she approached me at Walmart on Grey Hwy. Same girl, same handwritten note, same story. I recognized her immediately, but listened to her story and I asked her long she's been in the area and she said 2 weeks. So, I called her out on it and she rolled her eyes and walked off.

Both times she approached me out of a crowd of people so I'm assuming she targets Hispanics first, then goes on to older folks. Please spread the word and if you have older relatives let them know.

Hello Macon.

I have a hobby of collecting postcards, but I don’t have any from Macon.

Can a resident or visitor send me one from there please?

Thank you so much for your help.

Tell us what you are doing this week in town!

Date and times are appreciated!

How is the job market for cdl drivers? We are looking to relocate and move our existing business, but would need to hire cdl drivers.

Anyone local have any knowledge about the underground network of tunnels running under macon? Need to speak with someone who knows of any tunnel accesses that still exist

I’ve seen some posts circulating on social media saying Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be doing raids in the Middle GA area from “Friday to Monday”. Are these legitimate? Has anyone seen evidence of this anywhere else?

Since we live in the South I’m afraid I have to ask that replies be civil. I’m just asking about the legitimacy of claims, not making commentary. Thank you.

I guess i75 too. Both of them in northbound are insanely backed up right now when reconnecting before Forsyth. Looked like a huge wreck

I’ve never seen so many impatient drivers. They will try to run you off the road in straight up ice. My number one complaint about Macon is all the asshole drivers. Everyone either goes 15 under or 15 over, no in between. One of these days I’m gonna end up wrecking a tailgater because they won’t stop when I have to stop short.
