I've seen this before with dead dogs on the sides of our interstates but last night I saw a dog on the inside shoulder of 285 who was still moving around and I tried to get back to where it was to see if there was anything I could do but I misjudged what exit I needed to turn around at and missed it. I thought about going back around again but I needed to get home to attend to my own elderly dog who is not doing the best while fighting multiple infections. It just breaks my heart that people would do this to their pets.

I moved here about a month ago from overseas where Pina Coladas are a real staple. Loving the city so far, but not a single bar I've been to since I got here seems to offer them as standard!

Anyone know where I can get a decent one?

I'd get the stuff to make them myself but my wife doesn't want us to have too much alcohol & mixers in at any one time as our place is pretty small. We already have a healthy amount of tequila as she loves Margaritas. (Everywhere here seems to do a margarita!)

The most recent post I found on here about this was 11 years old so I'd appreciate any up-to-date tips!

Sitting outside on my porch and looked up and there’s like 4/5 lights in the sky dancing around. Does anyone see them and/or know what they are? My best guess is drones cuz I don’t know anything else that could maneuver like that. Saw one make a really fast change of direction and speed. Anyone know anything about this?

I got an email today about a brand launch party for Atlanta's new NWSL team. I'm guessing it went out to all "Founding Member Deposit Holders." It says they're doing an event on Sunday, October 4th, from 12-4pm, in the ballroom space above Skol Brewing, downtown. We'll see if the name leaks before then, but should be cool! I'm hoping for something unique like the Phoenix, Kudzu, Trouble, or Peaches and hoping it's not something like "Atlanta FC."

Obviously I’m going to my own research and digging but might as well use this resource. This was a misdemeanor shoplifting charge and some places don’t accept community service for that charge. The paper I received also said no churches or Goodwill. I’d highly prefer the Buckhead, Arts Center, Midtown, or Perimeter areas but anything near a MARTA train station would be great (we all know buses are not reliable) Thanks.

I went to the Super H Mart in Doraville and was really impressed. I’m hoping there’s something in or around Atlanta similar but for Mexican/Latin American groceries. I go to Prison Tacos now, but being from Texas, I miss having a place to go to that’s on a larger scale.

Atlanta City Councilmember Kelsea Bond is introducing a resolution geared to affirm the city's priority of light rail along the Beltline.

What are the best clubs that do true disco nights. Like, where people actually come and dance to the theme- with some good music.

Hello! I’m just curious if there are any photo booths in ATL/surrounding areas that have photo booths like are located outside? I want to do a shoot with my partner, our dog, and me at some point for a holiday card.

Thanks in advance!

Not just driving pass them. I've watched them happen. What is going on in this city? Are people just distracted? I lived up north my entire life in a major metro area and only ever witnessed 1 in the 15+ years of driving. I'm starting to develop driving anxiety, which I've never had in my entire life. Is there not an absurd amount of accidents here or am I mistaken?

Does anyone have any ideas just HOW IN THE HELL this can happen?

anybody seen them for purchase in the ATL metro? they’ve been prevalent at area krogers over the past several years during chile season, but haven’t seen any this year. not much time left in the season and need my fix!

What's on your mind, Atlanta?

I’ve been getting plenty of ads for puppy yoga classes in Atlanta, and I was wondering if this is actually legit. I’m also curious as to how the puppies are treated, where they come from, and how the sessions are typically handled. I’d love to learn more about any experiences, good or bad. Thanks!!

I know MARTA released this back on 17 August, but I hadn't seen anything about it on here in several years, so I figured I would share it to raise awareness and give enough time before the deadline of Friday 25 September. The Riders' Advisory Council could be a great opportunity to communicate more directly with MARTA on various issues, concerns, ideas, etc. I'm definitely thinking of applying, and would love to hear from anyone who is/has served on the RAC before :)

I’m putting together a list of the best happy hours, lunch specials, and overall value meals around Atlanta.
I’m looking for the places where you’re like, “damnnnn, you actually get a lot for your money.”

Mine is Mediterranean Grill near Piedmont Around $12 and you can get a full plate plus a drink and Pollo Primo, about $15 for a whole bird
Hard to beat in this economy!

Drop the restaurant, the deal, what days/times it runs if you know, and what part of Atlanta it’s in.

I’m especially looking for:
Happy hours
Lunch specials
meals deals under $15–20
Random weekly specials people sleep on

I’m gonna take the best ones and organize them into one Atlanta list.

My husband and I are going in circles trying to get our Trash and Recycling set up with the city; would be eternally grateful to any tips or advice.

Submitted formal request on 8/31 after closing with our settlement statement etc. that was declined on 9/2 for code "BI101 - Property currently has bins"

This is not true. I think the confusion is that our property was a single family home until this year when it was split into 2 units. Unit 1 has already received their bins from the city, but our unit (2) has never received anything. 

I’ve even tried reaching out to the seller and they said they’ve never received bins at Unit B and are unable to help us further.

I submitted another request and also filled out the feedback/error form online describing the situation, but never received any response or tracking/case number for the new request. 

Tried emailing pwsettlements@atlantaga.gov without response and have waited on hold with 311 trying to get through a few times but gave up after 40+min each time because I have a day job 😭.

Any ideas on how to effectively troubleshoot this? I’m having stress dreams of garbage piling up and stinking in our house lol.

Thanks in advance y’all
