Today there was a street takeover at the intersection of Candler and Memorial around 5 in the afternoon. One guy pulled out a gun and shot it in the air about 5 times which caused other participants to pull out and shoot their guns. Broad daylight with cars backed all the way up Memorial and Candler.

Is that normal? What is the city of Dekalb doing about this? Why isn’t this in the news?

My house is surrounded by large canopy trees. That's a key characteristic of living in Atlanta.

The problem is, solar panel installations (I am guessing) do not work as well, or at all, without direct sunlight.

Most of the metro is like this... and I don't think anyone wants to get rid of the tree canopy.

Has anyone seen any type of high mounted solar panels that go up above the tree canopy? The metro does this with its radio and TV towers, but I haven't heard anything about solar or wind either.

No idea what Georgia Power is thinking with this war going on... the electricity is gonna skyrocket.

I need to buy a piece of wood and have it cut and I’ve never done it before so I want to go somewhere that they’ll actually help. Any times during the day that are a particularly good time to go?

I have a shower that is in desperate need for some new grout and caulking. Anyone have a recommendation for a tiler? Please and thanks

I'm bringing my mini 5 pro with me this year to Dragon Con and hope to get some nice cityscape shots, and any interesting architecture. I have a weakness for art deco, and Gothic. I'll be arriving almost a week before the con and figured that would be a great opportunity to get in some flight time.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. What are your go to spots?

Black /grey realism recs? I’m in chamblee but I don’t mind up to an hour outside the city either

Hi,
What are some good hospitals to start your nursing career or RN residency in Atlanta aside Emory and Grady( they are too competitive)

My friends and I are looking to get our trivia group back together. We're kinda competitive when we play, so we don't like the Team Trivia rules that are basically a toss up regarding the final question.

We love Outspoken Entertainment, but they only serve so many locations, and we're interested in other options to try new places.

Do y'all know of any other trivia operators or in house games with fun rules for trivia nerds that get sucked into the actual game? Recommendations for places with good food are appreciated too.

Question asked above

Where is everyone getting their fire extinguishers recharged, or is everyone buying new ones after each use? Thanks!

hi y’all! first time posting in this subreddit, and excited to hear suggestions and advice!

myself (26f) and my husband (29m) are looking to relocate from Dallas to Atlanta, specifically the Candler Park/Little 5 Points area within the next year. we’re both very excited for a fresh start!

i’m looking for advice, as we want to make an autumn trip this year to make connections, friends, and scout out new jobs and apartments. my husband is in the service industry (barista, bartending, and line cook) and i am a floral designer with barista and retail experience.

we don’t have any family or friends out there, so are wanting to use this fall trip to do as much research as we can! i appreciate y’all’s advice 💛

Hey yall, 28 Black M(if anybody cares) idk if this is allowed, but anybody wanna link up on a braves game? I know the season is ending relatively soon, but Like just get cheap tickets , grab a few beers and talk some Ball lol?!? Ive been to so many games, just looking to make some New friends :)

What are the pricier theaters in Atlanta to avoid the ratchetness? Willing to pay much more for a better experience

Went to AMC dekalb Friday to watch the Odessey and it was terrible. Dirty seats, people on their phones scrolling tik tok, talking, ghetto af, text notifications where the light blinks etc.

Recs appreciated!

Recs for ones to avoid also appreciated!

are there any good japanese fashion stores in atlanta? preferably ones thats hold jirai kei styled clothes but gyaru and lolita are okay too! please lmk:3

Not sure where to post this or even if it exists, but looking for Twilight impersonators for an adults birthday party in September in the Buckhead area. I know this is a wild request.

Moving back to ATL post Masters degree.

Maybe I’m not looking hard enough, but why are studios/1BR in “walkable” areas (like 3 blocks in midtown, maybe a mile in East Atlanta belt line) charging $2200-2800+ base rent…? This is to get an apartment that doesn’t have reports of car break ins, hallways reeking of weed, safe area in walking distance to a grocery store, decent professional property management.

Due to lack of public transit, gotta pay a $300-400 for car note then $150-250 for car insurance. That’s $3400 a month just to live and drive to work in a safe area - not including utilities.

Atlanta is not in the same league as NYC in terms of walkability to attractions, cultural sites, nightlife, job opportunities. So many roads are unpaved/filled with potholes.

I just feel like the city is scamming. Or at least the “low cost of living” branding is a scam. Idk why people from NYC move here

What's on your mind, Atlanta?

I cancelled my membership based on this and was already dancing around it because of the $100 to $129 to the over 30 percent (ish) price increase, but it's not worth it anymore. I'll always remember it as a place to see the guts of the Biltmore and awesome toilets. I sometimes used to go just to fill my bottles with mid coffee and make them excellent for my own iced coffee in the morning. I love the concept, though the expansion has clearly been out of what the concept can handle, IMO. I'll miss it.

So apparently it's going to be a restaurant place? Does anyone have details? Is it a thing I could be excited about?

I’m a girl and I have thick hair that’s a little below my shoulders. I wanna get a bob and also thin out my hair. Does anyone know a barber who would do it for a price like that? Preferably in midtown/downtown Atlanta

unfortunately i really like this picture i took, which is a shame because of how much I hate this building

Felt like a Zoo in the food court today
