Vickery Creek trail question

I went hiking he's at Vickery Creek. On the trail I went to the VC30 spur and saw on the map that it did not connect to vc19 officially. However I saw there was a visible trail and went against better judgement and followed it anyways. I eventually turned around once it was just narrow rock face over the creek.

It has all the hallmarks of people using the trail regularly though.

Was this an official connection some time ago and recently removed from maps after accidents and erosion or was it always advised against and people just attempt it like I did?

Thanks.

Roswell Parking Study

I found this online if anyone wants to read the 200 plus pages. I know we paid 150k to Seer for this.

Perhaps someone can lend some insight on what they are proposing.

The Second Reading of Roswell’s budget is now scheduled for 12/9/24

Thanks to everyone who reached out and let our elected officials know that it would be unacceptable to make such a major decision during a time when many citizens could not weigh in.

That said, there are still several items that are cause for concern. Be sure to show up on 12/9 to make your voice heard!

Is there a restaurant in the area that will smoke a turkey that you bring?

Does anyone know of a barbecue restaurant in Roswell that will smoke a turkey for you if you bring it to them? I am more comfortable having a restaurant do it than asking an individual. Sonny's used to do this a while ago, but I believe the location that was on Crossville is gone. I was misremembering the name. I think it was Slope's (thanks, u/jkingfish13 ) Thanks in advance!

Golf-kart drivers on crabapple are insane.

you can technically drive a golf kart on the 25mph section of canton street. i see em pulling out neighborhoods way up crabapple, full of dazzling Christmas lights with babies and families in a 35 mph zone. and they dont obey any laws. i feel like old man typing this, but it freaks me out

Our Mayor and Council are using the holiday season to rush a flawed budget.

Hey neighbors -

Massive budget changes are being rushed behind our backs during this holiday season.

I have concerns about several changes in the budget being proposed that will drastically impact our day-to-day lives, and from the start this process has been rushed via special meetings and conducted in a way that minimizes the opportunity for public input.

This is being capped off by the meeting next Tuesday, which is a special meeting called immediately prior to Thanksgiving. These decisions have severely impeded the opportunity for public analysis and comment due to the quick turnaround of these special meetings, in addition to travel and holiday-related commitments.

Please join us as we band together next Tuesday to voice our concerns and demand additional time to understand how this can potentially impact all of us.

We need the council to table any further actions on the budget until the next regularly scheduled meeting on December 9th, to ensure that the public has a say in how our money is collected and spent!

Roswell Junction

I just popped into the Roswell Junction because it looked like people were going in and out. I really didn't know what to expect. I've been watching it being built/renovated for months now. Today is the soft opening and it looked and smelled AMAZING! It's like a really nice food court with several good restaurants, not chains, and a couple of bars. It seems like it will be family friendly by day, adult fun at night. There was a big stage for live music! I really hope this place does well because it's so close to where I live and we need a little Canton Street vibe closer to the river. Definitely, check it out!

Anyone know what's being filmed at Willeo & Coleman

There's some sort of production filming in the empty lot at Coleman Rd & Willeo. Looks like a fairly sizeable production but I couldn't find anything about it online. Another mayonnaise commercial maybe?

Good place to watch the game

Anyone have any recommendations for a good spot to watch the Indiana Ohio state college football game tomorrow at 12? Preferably a place that will be good for kids aged 5/7 as well. Thank you!

Are there any laws that Kroger (Crossville) is breaking by not collecting their shopping carts from nearby bus stops?

I’ve called them multiple times to tell them about their shopping carts by the bus stop in front of Pearle Vision, and now they’re appearing at other bus stops. It makes the area look trashy and they seemingly won’t collect them. Is there any law/ordinance they’re breaking by not collecting them, or anything that can be done?

Young Married Couple Considering Moving

Hi everyone! My husband and I (both 27 y/o) are considering moving from Miami, FL to Roswell or Alpharetta. We drove up and explored both areas for the first time yesterday. We really fell in love with both. We’d like to buy a starter home or a townhouse in the next year, and begin our family. Any advice? Pros/cons of both? Thanks!

Found cat!

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I saw this cat wandering Roswell Landings (he/she just went into Liberty Lofts shortly after taking this picture)

Hope this potentially helps someone find their friend!

Ideas for proposing in Roswell?

I am planning on proposing to my gf somewhere in downtown Roswell. We first met here 3 years ago and ever since we love the downtown area.

I was thinking of planning a fun day with brunch and maybe a hike at the mill. We would then make our way to the town square where I would propose under the pavillion.

My fear is that this is not special enough or that I am unaware of any scenic/pretty places to propose at. Any ideas on activities we could do before I propose or any good scenic places in Roswell to propose at?

Construction on Shallowford

When heading east on Shallowford, before you reach the Johnson Ferry intersection where the Kroger is, there is some construction project going on. Do any of y’all know what it is? Did I miss the part where the USL finished discussions with the City of Roswell, and awarded us a club? Did they start building the stadium or something (probably not 🤣)?

Food-waste composting options?

TL;DR trying to find a place to drop food waste for composting, or even better a pick-up service. We can't have the compost outside at our property due to community restrictions.

I found https://www.compostnow.org/ but they only seem to service ITP.

I found this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/roswell/comments/18u0msq/community_composting_in_north_fulton/ which spotlights the "FoodCycler" for use at home, then brining the dried waste to the farm, but again, not an option for us. The community garden doesn't seem to be open to the public providing compost waste.

Thanks in advance for any guidance provided...

John Albers Wants ZERO Exceptions for Abortion

GA State Senator for district 56 signed a pledge 4-5 years ago stating he wants NO EXCEPTIONS for abortion. This is personal to me bc I’ve needed 2 D&Cs at 18 wks and 16 wks bc of fetal complications and the dangers to my health. Albers would rather see me dead or in jail for those.

Vote JD Jordan if you haven’t already. This is about protecting the females in your life.

Places to hangout

Esoteric vibes

Hey everyone I’m looking to hangout places that have the hippie vibe to it minus the drugs. I’m really big into burning incense, metaphysical stuff, staring at the clouds, like minded people. I would love to hear from you, thank you:)!
