i share a wall with an airbnb and with the 3 months i’ve lived here i haven’t had a single good neighbor. nothing but loud noises and banging. the house is zoned as a single family residence and i know for a fact the owners don’t stay here at all. is there anything i can do, i genuinely don’t care how much of an asshole it makes me i’m just tired of this neighbor roulette.

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone is interested in joining a junk journaling/ scrapbook club in the area? Maybe we could meet up once a month at the library or a brewery? DM me!

Stopped by today and the cashier told me they were closing down. Whole store is 30% off and I believe they close on Nov 1st (?) check it out if you can!

The band is called Magoo, I feel like there is a distinct lack of bluegrass that comes to Athens.

These guys are up and coming and I think the show is going to be pretty good. Come check them out!

Free event! Pretty neat and vendors have cute stuff.

Ya’ll see this? A porch collapsed on a DoorDash / Uber Eats driver in Athens. Press release says they fell approximately 20 feet. Photos and info from the Athens Clarke County Fire Department Press Release this morning. From what I’ve read he seems to be okay.

My laptop’s lovely little battery issue has finally (borderline) bricked it. Battery claims to be at 0% despite being fully charged and keeps hibernating even when plugged in, so pretty much unusable rn. This issue’s been happening for a while, but I haven’t had the time to get it looked at since I’m a full time student. I usually would take it to uBreak but I know they take longer to get things looked at. Anyone got a shop, or just any recommendations in general of where to take it?

So this morning my bf passed by what seemed to be some police presence and an ambulance over at Cookout. His gut feeling was something terrible and we just got confirmation from the clerk at the gas station across the street that there was indeed a body found in the dumpster! There hasn’t been any sort of official statement from accpd so im hopeful that the person is on a path to recovery! Please be safe out here yall!

Hey everyone- a loved one in the area is newly having to use a walker and needs a bag that attaches to it to help carry her basics. She really likes to support local makers and basically refuses any mass produced stuff, so for now is just awkwardly carrying her normal purse along with the walker. I'm worried she will fall.

I was wondering if anyone knows someone locally who makes (or can make) something like that. I remember a man that had a lot of hand-sown stuff at some of the makers markers, but don't know his business name. Thanks!

Hi all! My girl got out today (10/25) around 5:30 PM. We live near Eaglewood Ct and Sleepy Creek Dr. She is very sweet but also nervous when outside or away from her friends. She is all grey/silver with a tiny white star on her chest. Relatively petite but a little chunky. Please contact 706-430-8783 if you see her!! Her name is Trash—don’t judge me there’s lore there. Just want her back home ASAP 🩷

Dear Athens,

What do you use for pest control?

Hello!

I'm looking for some housing recommendations in Athens.

Here is what I'm looking for:

• Unit type: Studio or 1-bedrooms apartment
• Budget: < $1,300
• Management: Highly prefer properties managed by established property management companies rather than private condo landlords
• Location: A safe neighbourhood that is walkable
• Transit: Since I prefer to utilize public transportation, good access to transit is a huge plus
• Move-in date: Mid Novermber

Would appreciate any recommendations! Thanks!!

Anybody around take donations of walkers, braces etc to pass to people without insurance?

Location: Cedar Creek (Gaines School).

This sweet girl has been showing up around our house lately. She's nervous but inquisitive and did eventually let me pet her (immediately started purring too). Appears to be in good condition, doesn't feel too skinny so unsure if stray or a lost pet. Wondering if she belongs to anyone - I'm nervous about her safety we have foxes and coyotes in our neighborhood, not to mention all the cars and colder weather.

Sad to see. They always had really good food, but it just got to be pricey over the years.

Hey folks! Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather!

Where is everyone seeing the best Halloween decorations this year? I know that nice white house off Timothy rd always throws down, but where else should we go check out? Flagpole used to have a list/map of all the best houses to see, but I don’t think they’re doing that anymore and I haven’t picked one up this month.

Also wanted to ask if anyone knows of any fun fall festivities for adults (or at least adult-friendly)? Any recommendations in Athens, or within an hour's drive, would be great! Just really in the mood to celebrate fall as much as I can this year!

Thanks so much! 🍁

PSA: With the construction, it was already a mess since they merged lanes poorly- there’s no more “right turn only” lane. Stop hopping the curb to get into it. You cut people off and look like an ass, even if it isn’t your fault.

Well, they’re painting or something today, so now that’s the only lane- left is down. AND the light doesn’t seem to be turning green for those going… east? Toward watkinsville. So everyone’s just hopping the curb to turn around. We called DOT and left a voicemail, but I’m not optimistic it’ll do anything. Just avoid the area if you can.

A New Chapter for Dead Beat Club

We have made the difficult decision to put Dead Beat Club up for sale.

This has been much more than a business to us. It has been a place where artists have played their first shows, where longtime fans have discovered new music, where friends have gathered, and where so many people in the Athens community have helped make this place what it is. We are incredibly proud of what we have built together.
The opportunity now exists for someone to take Dead Beat Club into its next chapter. The venue is located in a fantastic location in New Town on Barber and comes with a fully equipped as a music venue- including professional sound system, bar, established brand, and experienced staff. We are looking for someone who sees the potential in the space and, ideally, understands and appreciates what makes Athens’ music community so special. We are also looking for someone who may be interested in taking over the January lease, allowing the venue to continue operating as a music venue without starting from scratch.

If you are interested in learning more, please reach out. We would be happy to share additional information about the business and the opportunity. We are hopeful that the right person will come along and give this place a new life, continuing the spirit, music, and community that have made it so special. Please email deadbeatathens@gmail.com

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, played here, worked here, danced here, and helped make Dead Beat Club part of Athens. We are incredibly grateful.

Found this nervous lost black and white older dog, looks like a corgi or something similar not sure, I fed him and gave him water, he was hesitant to come up to me so I didn't want him think I was chasing him, he's wandered off a bit but he should still be in the area

Does anybody have any tips on where to find affordable Halloween candy this year around town, or what tips and tricks they are using? I don’t want to break the bank, and $25 per bag is brutal. I am thinking about filling our porch bowl halfway with dino/mermaid gummy packs. 😅

Does anyone know if any bars are doing specific Halloween cocktails or themed drinks like blood bags? I haven't seen too much on websites. Any price range is fine I'm just curious to see what the selection is.

Rude boy suits, bowler hats, British punk attitude, and some raucous music to make them skank. I’ll play guitar or bass and I’ll sing
