The hype around valdostas filming projects have died down.

There isn't anything open to the public with south georgia film in Quitman.

The south georgia film festival is now only by referral/invite?

What's really going on? What happened to putting Valdosta on the map?

Who is actually proactively filming/producing anymore?

My sister lives in Lake Park and we’re coming to visit from Ohio after Christmas. Interested in hiring a photographer to take family photos and looking for recommendations!

so, about two years ago i made a post asking about valdosta's diy scene and got replies regarding the diy house and the local shows hosted there.

unfortunately, since i've made that post there's been radio silence regarding the diy house or any shows and that sucks.

anyone got any info on this? since vito's is back would doing shows there be a possibility?

Hello, like many hurricane Helene had me without internet for a month. Mediacom still hasn't reimbursed me and I've had to pay to full bill. I would've let it go but now my internet is out. Mediacom has a serious issue of making sure we get one or two outages within the billing cycle. Honestly I so fed up with Mediacom as a whole and I keep giving them chance after chance but my hands are tied as no other internet reaches my neighborhood. Did anyone else have this problem with not getting reimbursed or is this just me?

Hello,

I'm travelling to Valodsta from France next week for a business trip. Do you guys have any recommendations where to eat/drink at the town during evening. Maybe a place with live music ?

Also, is there any nice points of interests you can tell me about ?

I look forward to visit your city !

Traveling through tomorrow on I-75 south and Valdosta (or 30 minutes north or south of it) is a good stopping point for me. Are there any good brunch spots in or near Valdosta? If Valdosta isn't the right spot for that happy to take suggestions up or down I-75.

UPDATE: Ended up at Fairway Tavern and it was good! Thanks for the responses.

I'm just wondering which tattoo shops in town folks would recommend most & which to avoid? I wanna get a piece for each of my son's considering my 2nd was just born

Help after hurricane

My house had a huge 80ft pine tree fall on it during the hurricane Helene. I don’t have homeowners insurance to fix my Roof. So my friend made me a go fund me. I’m a widow with three kids. Any amount will help. I live in a mobile home and the tree has messed up so much damage inside my house as well. I’ve called every resource I know. We were out of power for 24 days. I had to use my savings to buy gas for the generator which was about 35 a day. My office was destroyed I’ve applied for disaster unemployment but it just takes so long to get started. I need help with lights and food and basic needs to make It til I get my unemployment or a job. .

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I am ready to start a petition.

VALDOSTA STATE NEEDS TO MOVE UP TO D1.

Hello everyone!

I’m interested in getting more involved with my community and contributing to a cause that makes a positive impact. I’m particularly looking to join any local nonprofit organizations that could use an extra set of hands, whether it’s through volunteering or offering any skills I have to help out.

I’m open to a variety of causes—anything from education, social justice, environmental sustainability, mental health, or supporting underprivileged communities. I’m based in Valdosta, so if anyone knows of any local nonprofits in the area, or if you’re involved in one and looking for volunteers, I’d love to hear about it!

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or advice!

I was working with this great business owner for a long time helping him find some clients. He did tree/fence work in the Valdosta area.

Since Hurricane Helen he has moved on to the crane business. I guess he’s been so busy with crane work, he doesn’t really need the tree work any more. Happy for him but bad for me.

So now I have ownership of 2 websites that get anywhere from 40-80 leads a month and nobody to do the work. I knows it’s valuable to the right person but I don’t live in the area. If anyone knows a tree or fence business that is hungry for work, it would be great to connect with them. Thanks.

Hello I’m looking for someone to sublease my apartment at The Gates on Baytree rd. I was told by a person who works at the base to post here. It’s a private pre-furnished room with your own bathroom in a 3 room apartment. I got a new job and need to move otherwise I’d stay 😔. The rent is $599 and there’s a $20 credit towards electricity and $10 credit towards water. The rest is evenly split by mangement between roommates. The application fee is $50 and upon signing my lease I’ll give $250 (cash, cashapp, money order or check) to help with first month’s rent. The security deposit is also being waived. I’ll be moving out by December 20. Yes it’s pet friendly as well. I spoke to management and there are no gender or age restrictions on who can apply. And if your credit is bad you can use a garuntor. Students are also allowed to use financial aid funds to help with rent. The lease ends in June and you can renew. Management will also be placing you in a newer room (not mine) at no cost to you as mine will need updating after I move out.

Are there any gay or gay friendly bars/ clubs here and not far away like Tallahassee?

To whoever took our bowl, please return it, no questions asked. Taking all the candy was fine, even expected, but we were not giving our bowl away, please return it

This might be a long shot. Is anyone going to Tigercon that plays with Beyblades? I want to find others who enjoy the hobbies.

Anything going on this Saturday? If not, any general recommendations for a nice anniversary date? Looking for a nice dinner and some kind of activity. Thanks!

I know this is a long shot but is anyone selling their Indy Taylor swift tickets?

Looking to relocate from Florida because welp the rent here is above my price range. I would appreciate any tips regarding areas to avoid. Thank you so much!

Someone is missing their BFF, we need to get them reunited!

Hello visiting from Seattle, WA and I am trying to find a matchbook for my friend since she collects them. Let me know if anywhere in town holds them. Thank you for your help!

We are 2 Norwegian Brothers looking for a place to see the Real Madrid - Barcelona game. Any sportsbars that show it? Thank you.

Growing up I spent most summer vacations at my grandparent's house off Holly Dr near VSU. They have been gone a few decades now, and we no longer have any family in the area. Was wondering if someone could swing by and take a few pictures so we can see how it survived the storm/if it's still standing/etc. If you're in the area and can swing by let me know and I'll send you the address.

Thanks!

Update: u/consistent_Shallot25 swung by and took a picture of the house in question. The front yard trees are gone, but looks like that happened a while ago. Otherwise the house looks intact.

Thank you all very much!

Are there any places to stargaze from your car?

 As much as I’ve got my comments to make about all the bad I see in valdosta; I wanted to take a second and acknowledge the good. 

  Thank you to everyone, getting up and preforming their jobs. 
 You are important no mater the role. Anyone able to get close enough and say otherwise probably needs you. 

  You being able to go out and be strong enough to perform your job in the face of adversity is a community asset not replaceable by hatred. 

  All of you that go out with a good attitude and spread joy. You help others in dark places find hope. Your ability to exist in happiness is imperative to good community sustainability.

Lastly to everyone struggling to make it by. Give yourself some grace, you’ve been doing your very best as a person. “Simply existing is enough.”

 Quoted from a random spot on the inter webs probably from a song or movie 😅. Though, the statement holds true.

 You are enough you don’t have to become enough. I sincerely hope and believe you’ll be able to obtain joy. You’ve already overcome so much to be here and reading this message. 

 Don’t let anyone deny you the reality that you’re deserving no matter how the cards have fallen in your life, all born are initially worthy of respect and dignity.

  And as you’ve not gone out of your way to rob any one of those key rights, they are owed to you as well.

 To anyone feeling maybe they’ve  contributed to the negativity harming this community. 

I hope that you will reflect and become a person able to change and grow beyond the view that restrict you in such a way.
 It is my sincere wish that you grow beyond views of judgment and spite. 

 Go find the comfort, warmth, and un-adulterated joy that is acting with positive intentions.

The city of Valdosta will be showing the movie Hocus Pocus (1993) for free this Friday evening (10/25) at Unity park. They’ll start the movie a bit after sunset (~7:00-7:30). Families are welcome, and costumes are not required but highly encouraged!! Concessions will be available for sale, but please come out and join us for a fun night of mild fright!!

Hey I’m (23m) not originally from Valdosta but I’m here now and I’m trying to delegate more time to myself instead of just working nonstop so I wanted to know if there are any creative design groups or art classes that I can maybe join.

Decided to call Clearwave today, although their website showed service was unavailable in my neighborhood.

I will have internet by 1pm Friday & my plan is gonna save me close to $40 per month. They're giving me the first month free as well!!!

I can also report that I spoke with someone in NW Valdosta this morning who said their mediacom was up yesterday afternoon. So, progress is being made on the mediacom network.
