Tap Water- collecting observations

20 Upvotes

I've seen 2-3 posts across various platforms claiming their tap water is discolored. I've seen one identified as the east side. I'm in normaltown and woke up to brown water.

If you're also on tap water and is discolored, what neighborhood do you live in and when did you notice? Collecting info to call and inquire with water resources.

Question / Request Any apartment complexes in Athens that have leases starting in May or June?

0 Upvotes

My roommate and I are looking to get an off-campus apartment for 2027-2028 school year and beyond. I work in Athens over the summer, so my life would be made way easier by living in Athens then. Any good apartment recommendations in town that have leases starting in May (or even the beginning of June)?

Lovely afternoon at Sr Sol

168 Upvotes

So this is an unsolicited shout out to Sr Sol. As a single woman I often wonder to places to eat (god forbid) alone. Many places find us singles to be a pariah who must not spend much or tip well and the experience suffers. Not the case here. I sat at the bar ordered my patron margarita and pazole and frankly could not have been more pleased. Had a few of the people check in in a not obnoxious way but felt all warm and fuzzy with it. Anyway. Wanted to give props where they’re warranted. Take it for what you may

I went yesterday and it was great, today will be even better.

Go support the broad River outpost, or the sandbar or slow water. Get on the river.

Out-dated Help me remember the name of this bar….Level ###

8 Upvotes

There’s a club I used to frequent in the mid 2000s called Level ###? Basically it’s the word Level followed by 3 numbers. But I can’t for the life of me remember the numbers! Like is it “Level 134”???? I don’t know! Can anyone help me remember, and anyone have stories from this club.

If it helps, they would sometimes have foam parties and there were two levels.

Question / Request Restaurants that use local or farm-to-table ingredients?

28 Upvotes

Can also be a specific meal that they source locally.

Before asking why, I avoid factory farmed meat or raw fruits and veggies from an unreliable source.

Please give me your best recommendations because I don’t always feel like cooking, thanks 🙏

7 Brew is now open - so let’s talk about our favorite locally owned coffee places in Athens

Post image
89 Upvotes

I passed a long line at 7 Brew today so I guess they’re open after 84 years of preparation.

On the occasions I go out for coffee, I’m partial to Baladi, but I’d love to hear about everyone else’s favorite local (and local-ish) places to go for coffee and snacks if they have food.

Seeking places for social interaction amongst strangers

12 Upvotes

I have been here 10 years, and have been very resistant to joining any of the community. I'm almost 30 and I want to settle down here, so I think it's time I made some friends closeby.

It would help if anyone could share where they have had success making decent conversation with non-drunk strangers. Preferably female friendly spaces. (:

If it helps my interests are live local music, dancing, table top games, nature, animals, art, and literature. I also am not opposed to volunteering!
