I am moving to ATL for the first time. I will be a 25F working in Marietta.

I would like to be near midtown to meet with the younger crowd but it seems l like the commute would be an issue. Any leads on what would be a good area?

I’m looking for someone near Powder Springs Rd. to do some minor house projects. I need a couple of fans installed, some interior trim painting, minor stuff like that. Things I just don’t have time to knock out. Give me your best recommendations. TYIA.

We don't really have room in our yard to do so as safely as we would like and don't live in a neighborhood.

I know public parks don't permit it either, we're in the 30068 area and unless we just hope for forgiveness and go to a random parking lot I'm out of ideas.

Got a property that needs to be cleaned up. Services needed are junk removal, lawn mowing, shrubs trimmed and tree limbs removed. Anyone know of any companies that do this stuff? Thanks!

My previous doctor I loved left the practice and my exam at Costco last year was not ideal. Basic eye exam with thorough doctor. Contact and glasses user. Glasses more as of late, due to the constant dry eye and headaches from contacts. Any recs?

Looking for recommendations for the following:

Does anyone have any good advise on what trunk or treat between Woodstock and downtown Atlanta would be the best for handing out candy and gift bags? My wife and I move around a lot for work and every neighborhood we live in never has many kids so she always gets so sad that she never gets to hand out much on halloween night. Figured a Trunk or Treat would be the best way to make her smile this Halloween. Any advise would be great so thank you in advance!

Hello Marietta! ^_^ I recently moved in not long ago. I'm 25 years old, and this is my first time getting a car (although I do have my driver's license). A friend suggested that I buy a used car and finance it as a starter. I found a Tesla Model 3 with a monthly payment of about $600, but I’ve never had car insurance before, so would I just purchase car insurance with the car?

What is it like to own an electric car in Marietta? Is it easy to charge? Are there any concerns I should be aware of, such as mileage? Sorry for all the questions!

Hello, my family and I are looking to move to Marietta from Perry, GA. Unfortunately, our budget is $400K. You'd think that it's a lot, but it can't get us in the nicer parts of the city. We found a house that we really love that's within the price range 4 bd 3 bth. Because we live quite far, it's hard to just drive by and check out the area. I'll include the picture of a map of where the house is located. The zip is 30008. Can someone give me some insight of what to expect? TIA

I am a really big fan of Halloween, mostly Halloween decorations. Does anybody know some really good neighborhoods to just look at Halloween decorations?

Hey everyone, I’m a drummer looking for jam night opportunities! Are there any local bars that do jam nights, allowing musicians to jam out on stage? I saw Dixie Tavern, but it looked like just vocal karaoke. Thanks!

I have a brother dcp l2540dw printer that I bought in 2016. it's been going strong all this time with light home usage.

A couple days ago I tried to print via Wi-Fi, and now it's constantly running with a "Please Wait" message. I've tried all the suggested fixes that I could find online, with no result. I'd consider buying a new one, but I just bought a bunch of the laser printer cartridges on sale!

Any suggestions on a reputable place to take it in for repair?

I just moved to the area, closer to woodstock than downtown marietta and am looking for farm stands around here... really missing my fresh eggs and good ol boiled peanuts! Are there any mom and pop stands in this area? Maybe just some random person selling eggs? Thanks!!

What are some restaurants that deliver their own food in the area Marietta. I feel like I can't get food delivered without going through an app. Are there any places in town that deliver using their own employees that you can just call in to?

Another meeting, another late recap. Election season really has me super duper booked.

The meeting started off with the city greeting the new police officers. It seems like this happens every meeting, but I guess that's a good thing?

Next we had the 2024 Fire Prevention Week Poster Contest Winners and the 2024 Public Power & Water Week Poster Contest Winners.

It was really cute to see all of the young kids come up and get congratulated for the art they created. For the fire prevent week, the fire department presents the winners of the contest with the prizes.

Next, October got proclaimed as both National Community Planning Month and National Code Compliance Month in Marietta. This makes me wonder how many special things fall on each month of the year.

Next up we had scheduled speakers.

The first speaker spoke about his new restaurant downtown. He's the chef, and just wanted to introduce it to everyone and explain his backstory. I definitely want to check it out one day, it's been so long though I forgot the name. His name is Nick Jennings, though.

Then we had the next speaker, talking about zoning.

The 3rd speaker was upset that certain dogs breeds weren't seen as safe to own, and didn't want certain breeds banned. I don't know if this is a thing in Marietta right now though. He also wanted term limits and came out against MSPLOST because

The 4th speaker went up in favor on MSPLOST, but mostly gave info on what it would mean for Marietta.

After that we got into the things that actually need to be voted on.

The item that came up was a woman that wanted to do renovations on her home, but the renovations that she wanted to do would be very close to another property, giving a 1ft setback. She was there, as well as her neighbor, and the whole thing ended up getting tabled because it wasn't decided exactly what should be done. Her and her neighbor were on good terms though, so it wasn't a toxic endeavor. The council just couldn't decide what they wanted to do.

The next item was the city rezoning a piece of land from neighborhood retail commercial to Single Family Residential. They want to give it to habit for humanity to help house government employees (that's my recollection of it, anyway). It was unanimously approved.

The next big item was to rebuild some units on 750 Franklin Gateway. The developer wanted to rebuild some units and add 8 efficiency units. The council took issue with this because they claimed adding more units would increase the density, and they already tore down a bunch of apartments on that road to get rid of the density.

The developer argued that it wasn't the amount of housing that was causing issues, it's the quality of the housing.

At the end, they ended up compromising and allowing him to cut the number of efficiency units in half.

And that's it. :)

I’m interested in going into the field of Library Science, but before I pursue a masters I want to get a job in the actual field before committing to post grad. Cobb County is an area I want to work in for the future, but I feel like it’s more competitive than the county I currently live in.

Anyways, I have applied to a handful of library assistant/technician positions on the Cobb County Career Website but haven’t found luck. I was wondering if anyone found luck through this website or not. If not, if you’ve ever been employed by Cobb County what was the hiring process like? Have they ever gotten back to you regarding a job? What are some things that you have found that they are looking for?

I’m trying to find a place to make friends I’m a teenager and since I got released from the mental hospital I’ve been at the house school and my job should be starting eventually but that’s gonna take a while and for my sanity I need to be around people and make friends it gets kinda lonely at the house so can anyone help me I need some good suggestions :)
