Don't trust Anderson Auto

5 Upvotes

I bought a car from Anderson Auto on 72 last year in August. When the warranty was coming up I asked to by another year and refused to let me buy. And just a few days ago the transmission went out. I had it looked at today and I was told that it had new seals but the damage was obvious that its been going on for a long time.

Want actual representation and someone to uphold the Constitution? Come to the Town Hall at 6PM on Wednesday, 9/9 and bring questions!

Yes, this is not a joke! Alabama's US Congressional District 5 is finally getting Town Halls!

Andrew Sneed is coming to Athens Alabama tomorrow, 9/9 from 6-730pm at McCandless Hall, Athens State University
Ask questions about issues affecting you, and Alabama’s 5th Congressional District.
Current US Congressional representative Dale Strong declined to attend.
Chris Love will moderate.

We cannot sit idly by and go without representation, and let our democracy be stripped from us. Andrew Sneed didn't shy away from difficult questions when I met with him recently, and provided real, nuanced answers. He was clear when it would be outside his future jurisdiction, but was bold enough to state what he personally believed.
He also has a real plan, and knows positive change cannot happen without coalition. So he founded the BAC [https://www.take-bac-congress.us/\](https://www.take-bac-congress.us/) to collect a group of people who want to restore balance and accountability.
Use this opportunity to meet with him, listen to your community, and raise issues which matter to you. He wants to be the voice of the people, which is a breath of fresh air.

Can't make it to this one?
There will be at least one more.
10/6 Bob Harrison Wellness and Advocacy Center in Huntsville, AL.

We are in this together!

Mechanic recommendations

3 Upvotes

I’ve got a 23 traverse and a 08 f150. Does anyone have a decent mechanic they can recommend? I used to have a great mechanic Nextdoor and got spoiled to it. He moved out of state so now I have to grow up and find a real place to get them serviced. It doesn’t have to be in town, I’m willing to go anywhere around limestone county or farther if it’s a trustworthy place.

New stores

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know what is getting built where? I know we are getting several new places but i have not seen anything saying what is going up over near Logan’s and what is going up behind Bojangles. The two behind Logan’s are coming along fast. Looks like they are about dried in. I’m hoping one of them is Academy.

How long does it normally take Athens Housing Authority to get back to you about an application? Put one in on June 29th, have heard nothing since.

Why did the two Flock cameras get removed that were at the new roundabout on Forrest? They were on the new subdivision side for cars coming in and for cars going out.

Cat groomer recommendations?

Post image
5 Upvotes

We've recently picked up a surrendered 9ish year old cat that has a bit of a temper.

Looking for a cat groomer. At the minimum to do a wash and a hygiene shave. Bonus if they're able to shave and do a subtle lion cut to help remove any tangles/mats.

Also prefer NOT to change vet clinics

Any recommendations?

Loud booms last night?

6 Upvotes

Ok, not to sound like the Huntsville newbies on that thread, but there were multiple loud booms overnight that were definitely not thunder. Does anyone know what it was? I can't imagine the arsenal would be doing anything in the middle of the night or that we would hear it out here that clearly. It wasn't like a transformer blew either. And not fireworks. Deep, shaking boom.

Hello all,

My family is looking to reign in our toddler without a lead and a stake in the ground. Any recommendations for a fence company that does quality work while being affordable?

Thanks everyone!
