Ideas for indoor wedding ceremony?

Fiancé and I live in Rome. We think we have settled on a reception venue but have no clue about a ceremony venue. Our only requirement is that it’s indoor since we are looking at Jan 2026. Any ideas? The more budget friendly, the better!

Please if you have any allergies or any problems with breathing like snoring visit Dr. Raymond Howard!

Ok Y’all, not to get to much into my life but really, if you have any problems breathing, allergies or maybe even a mental health issue PLEASE I am begging you(!) see an Ear Nose Throat specialist like Dr. Howard! He is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Yes, the surgery I went through was incredibly expensive but I honestly feel one million times better. I don’t have the same “brain fog” issue I have had for YEARS and I am able to go a full day in Disney World when before this surgery I was only able to make it until about 2pm. Go to a specialist if you can afford it, you won’t regret it!

What do I do with this and how much is it worth?

I have a Mezuzah from Israel that is from my sisters ex-boyfriend. None of my family members are Jews. When I looked online these go anywhere from $16-$116 so I don’t know the true value. I have no idea if it’s real silver or not. Anyone have a suggestion for this?

Looking for a used car

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for a reliable used car for my sister to drive to and from work and take her two kids to school. I'd prefer something without a ton of mileage and located in the Rome or Cave Spring area. Budget is around $5k. If you have a car for sale or know of one, please reach out to me with details! Thank you so much for stopping to read!

Short Term Rentals That Will Accept A Hospice Patient?

My Mom is on Hospice and we are forced to sell our home because we can’t afford it on just her Social Security alone (I’m disabled and unable to work and still trying to get Disability) so I’m looking for a good short term rental we can stay in till she passes as I do not want to put her in a nursing home or assisted living. I don’t plan on staying in Rome once she passes which is why I’m not looking at apartments.

Give me the details!

Hello soon to be neighbors! My family and I are moving to Rome in a few months and have had our eye on the Stonebridge Golf Club community. For those of you who live in the community/know anyone in that community- what didn’t you know before moving in that you now know (good or bad)? We are not from the Rome area and would love any insight on the pros or cons to living in the Stonebridge community:)

Garden lakes realty pet policy

I just came home to a rental increase from current leasing company and I’m over it. Looking to move soon. I left a message for Garden Lakes because they have the most options right now in my budget and are mostly pet friendly. But their policy shows only one pet allowed. Does anyone have any experience with them? Some places I know will be flexible. I have two cats.

Anyone with first hand experience will help me get a little sleep tonight ahead of a response potentially days from now. Thanks 🙏

Crime/Safety?

Hey y’all,

My wife, baby and I will be relocating to Rome next month for a business opportunity! We have heard some great things about the North area with Emerald Oaks and Stonebridge as well as Horseleg Creek Estates. We will likely be moving North of Berry. We have been reading up on some things to do and expect and one thing that has been concerning my wife is the reported high rate of crime. Like any populated city, there are going to be some really nice areas and some not so great areas. I was curious what your experience has been like living there. Do y’all feel relatively safe? Do you feel it is a good place to raise kids? Are there good areas to go to, or certain areas to stay away from?

Thanks so much for any advice/opinions!

Looking for Connecting with people on our next road trip

Hey y'all, my boyfriend and I are starting to plan our next trip exploring states we are wanting to settle down in.
We are hoping to connect with individuals that live in the area and are willing to host and or show us around.
We are traveling through north Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Southern Pennsylvania. We are heading out at the start of the new year this January.
We are interested in finding an area with friendly communities (does not have to be an established intentional community) that we can join.
If you are interested in connecting, please send me a personal message and we can set something up!

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!
