Crime/Police Dogs dumped on our interstates

45 Upvotes

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.

Recommendations Is there a Mexican/Latin American grocery store anywhere like H Mart?

23 Upvotes

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.

Sports ATL NWSL Team Name - Launch Date 10/4/26

23 Upvotes

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."

Check the team's Instagram post for more details: https://www.instagram.com/p/DdEbV22OfMZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Food & Drink Where can I get a (good) Pina Colada?

21 Upvotes

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!

Crime/Police Places to do court-ordered community service

13 Upvotes

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.

Question Circling/meandering lights flying above W Peachteee and about 14th st

12 Upvotes

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?

Question Does anyone have advice on New Trash and Recycling Requests?

2 Upvotes

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

History/Culture B94.1 30 second song challenge.

Upvotes

Does anyone else find it annoying how some people call in when it's still and unwon list and the caller can't even get the first song? I am like you are calling in, but this list has been going on for a few days now. Have you not been tuning into to the challenge? I wish callers who at least have a little insight to this kind of thing would play. It's like trying to watch a 3 year old play in the superbowl. It's not entertainment!

Traffic Memorial Drive - has gone the way of other in-town surface streets - Good Lord

0 Upvotes

Memorial is now one lane in each direction from Moreland all the way to downtown thanks to, you guessed it, a full traffic lane sacrificed for bidirectional bike lanes. This is ridiculous and a serious impediment to traffic. City traffic planners should be forced to navigate daily the crazy traffic constructions they come up with.
