When and where are the local Rome farmers markets?

Hello, I am trying to figure out a place to potentially sell my crochet goods and another crafter recommended farmers markets. They told me to simply check Facebook but I don't see the local farmers markets on Facebook. I do sometimes rarely see them when driving the streets but it seems to be very rare.

Making Friends?

My girlfriend moved to Rome a few months ago and is really struggling with making friends her age (she is 22). She has a bit of anxiety about just going out and meeting people. It is fairly reasonable since she’s a woman on her own, but I’m trying to find creative ways to get her out of her comfort zone so she can have a support system in Rome.

She’s a big foodie, likes reading fantasy/romance novels and Webtoon comics, watches a bunch of kdramas, and she is semi-active and hoping to get more physical activity into her schedule.

She’s not much of a drinker, but can in a comfortable social environment.

Any advice for making friends as a 22yr old woman?

Looking for an accepting church!

Hi! My boyfriend and I moved to Rome Georgia a little less than a year and a half ago. I love it here so much, and I’ve been really wanting to branch out more. I was wondering, does anyone know of any churches here, in or around Rome, GA, that are LGBTQ+ friendly/accepting? It’s been a very long time since I’ve gone to church, due to personal reasons, but I really want to try again. I’m just not sure where to start.

Happy Halloween!

This year since we ended up having way more trick-or-treaters than last year, I ended up handing out some of my crochet toys and hats! I hope whoever got them is happy with them. We only had around 10 trick-or-treaters last year so I thought we would end up having a small group this year too. I'm happy we got more but I do feel like I wasn't totally prepared. Anyway I hope everyone had a happy Halloween!

Misspelled sign quoting the law at the bus station downtown

A sign is only as authoritative as it is legible. Needless to say this "violater" lounged on one of the benches for the rest of the day.

Restaurant suggestions for out-of-towners?

My roller derby team is coming up to Rome next month from Florida, and we were looking for a restaurant with the capacity to handle a large crowd quickly during the lunch rush.

Any recommendations for some good local grub that could handle a team of badass women? Our game is at the Fielder Recreation Center, so something near there would be awesome.

Looking forward to visiting!

Rome Paddlers: The Oostanaula is a gentle urban paddle right now.

We put in at Heritage Park and paddled upriver to the bypass. The Oostanaula is really chill right now (this will likely change soon). There were a couple of shallow spots we had to navigate, but it was a lovely paddle. Rome is interesting from the water.

Affordable Orthodontists?

So my full situation is I'm a broke college student (pursuing degree in comp sci if anyone's hiring), that's on my mother's insurance plan (doesnt cover dental) and I'll probably be on it until I'm 26. I've always had kinda messed up teeth that I've been wanting to fix but it's a bit too late now since most insurance plans don't cover adult braces. What are some options?

Floor foundation help?

Hi, we are first time home buyers and have no idea how this works. I was trying to cut my dogs nails and she made me fall on the floor. I'm very heavy set (300+ pounds) so I made a dent in the floor. Is there anyone that can help us fix our foundation in our home? We also have another "soft spot" near our storage room where we are worried that it will fall in.

Automobile dealers that will take a non-drivable car in on a trade?

I also posted this in the Dalton subreddit because I am desperate y'all.

So yesterday my car's computer shit a brick and I don't have the funds to fix it, but I need a vehichle so I can get to my medical appointments in Atlanta. Do any of you know if any dealers in town (or nearby) will take a non-driveable car in on trade? I realize that this probably isn't a thing, but I am asking just in case it is.

Rome Questions

Hello there, Reddit! I am about to interview for a job with the potential to move down there to work at one of the hospitals. I was wondering a few things. First, how safe is Rome? I’ve seen mixed reviews online and I want to get opinions from folks who live there. Second, how’s the apartment and/or housing market? I looked again at many sources and the prices didn’t look too horrid from me. Finally, any advice of things to check out while I’m there for one day? Thanks for any advice.

Best Neighborhoods to Live

Hi everyone! My wife and I currently live in Canton, Ga and may be moving out to Rome for a business opportunity. We have been doing some research and are curious on the best neighborhoods to live and purchase a home. From what I’ve seen, Horseleg Estates and Stonebridge are typically spoken highly of. I’d love to get the recommendations of some locals!

Also, we enjoy going out after work and on the weekends to be social and fun activities for our family. In our current town there are a good amount of local hangout spots with breweries, restaurants, and green areas. Is there anything like that out in Rome? I did see they were building a Nova River District which seems pretty neat as well.

Thanks so much for any insight or advice!

I don't feel like I can work a physically intensive job and I'd prefer part-time... What type of job could I do? I have a useless degree in communications.

I've worked at Lowe's Warehouse for 5 months in the past and I really never got used to it so I don't feel like I could do warehouse stuff again. I'm very slow and most jobs I've seen require you to work in a quick paced environment so I'm worried I'd be fired. I'm not to concerned about pay: I just need something that is slow paced, calm. I'm just seeing a lot of medical jobs on indeed and I don't have the skill set for that. I do have a bachelor's in communication but I've never had a job that requires a degree despite the fact I'm in my early 30s.

I've tried applying to Dominos and never heard back. I also tried applying to Welocalize, failed their exam. I applied for Toyo tiers even though I don't really want to go back to a warehouse and they denied me.

I've done babysitting for many years for my sister and I've even been a nanny for a few months for another family. The jobs I've seen for that require a cpr certificate though and I don't have that. I can clean so I wouldn't mind a janitorial type job. I just don't know if a janitorial job would be too rushed. I have done call center work but I've been hospitalized due to too much stress from that before so I would really rather avoid that again. I was a legal secretary for 2 years.

What type of jobs could I realistically do?

Sara Hightower Library Board of Trustees Question

Our library is one of the best things about Rome. It is a gorgeous, inclusive, and well-curated library, and I spend lots of time in there. One thing that irritates, though, me is how difficult it is to find the Board of Trustees meeting agenda and past meeting minutes. I have looked everywhere. I have googled it. I have looked on the Floyd County website.

Aren't these things supposed to be public? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The Montessori School of Rome here

Does anyone here have any experience with or know some things about the Montessori School here in Rome? I am interested in the Montessori method for my child but I want to hear some personal statements or stories about this school if anyone has any! Much appreciated.
