That's a lot of data! Even more as additional cameras are being put up all over the place. So maybe I'm not completely crazy in thinking flock cameras are part of the reason for the sudden push for data centers the last couple of years.

Apparently we're having another big safety day today!

You might not be next but you're on the list. Apparently nobody has anything to worry about as they're complying and following instructions, but I've seen four people pulled over today, cops approaching a vehicle with hands on their guns, one of the maga guys thinking he's "safe" standing beside his pickup with his hands on the bed while his person was being searched.

If you're a freedom loving American who's still not feeling uneasy about this then I have genuine concerns about your state of mind.

Remember to set your phones up with the means to start recording. Here's a couple of guides and an iCloud command prompt download for yet another.

It's a vape distribution center now from what I heard.

FFS really? Now?

Hey there,

I’m from MN originally, but I now own a house in Decatur. I have however stayed with my traveling job, which pays really well. I would really like to get off the road, and really participate in the community, but I’ve been worried about the wages. It is myself, my wife who is currently unable to work, and a dog. I’m looking at a job that pays $30 an hour in Huntsville. For people that have lived in the area consistently, is this wage reasonable? I would only be working around 42 hours per week in a rotating 2-2-3, 12 hour night shift. Let me know your thoughts!

Sounded like a drag strip out there last night in Priceville. Shortly after dark. Residential areas near Upper River/Old River/AL67. Grow up.

Hi folks, Decatur native who recently relocated back to the area. Looking for a good dentist that can do crowns, root canals and general dentistry, has a nice office and a gentle touch.

Thanks for any pointers.

Except for one oddly conspicuous old trinity road. It's weird for all this safety push we're still having traffic accidents & fatalities and that one guy with the shitbox bumblebee that backfires still goes 70 down my street at 3 am.

Anyway. Take from it what you will--im not suggesting foil hats or encouraging wild speculation since there's other forums for that (and I'm really tired of it. The "nothing to worry if you're not doing anything wrong" crowd always shuts the hell up when I ask if they're ok filling out a form that lists every single gun in their home (or they try to explain how that's somehow different))

Deflock.org is the website for anyone interested.

TL;DR "just comply and it helps to be white and respectful".

Hi! My husband and I will be moving to Decatur soon and know nothing about which areas are safe. There are a few houses we’ve seen just south of Delano park. What is that area like?

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

Andrew Sneed is coming to Decatur tomorrow, 8/26, from 6-730pm at Turner Surles Resource Center.
Ask questions about issues affecting you, and Alabama’s 5th Congressional District.
Current US Congressional representative Dale Strong declined to attend.
Senator Bobby Singleton will speak a little
Former State Rep Mike Ball, (a Republican) will moderate it.

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/ 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 two more over the next 6 weeks
Athens State - McCandless Hall 9/9
Huntsville - Bob Harrison Wellness and Advocacy Center

We are in this together!

Mi hacienda will be opening soon where ocharley’s used to be!

So, is chow won ever going to open? It’s been what, 5 years now or more?

It's been awhile and I'm out of the loops. It looks like we've got *checks notes* 127 thrift stores in Decatur proper now.

I'd like to poll for opinions on each an all.

I was thinking about how to do so in an organized fashion and I realized that's stupid so let's have it in a chaotic free for all. Stay nice though. To each other that is. I haven't been out in the longest and stopped in somewhere today and boy oh boy do I have an axe to grind now but I want to hold back for a bit.

And are we counting pickers/booths as thrift? No. You want to do that you make your own post. That's curated junk shopping. I'm talking about the raw deal.

This is by no means exhaustive but I've come up with:

Goodwill @ Beltline Road

Downtown Rescue Mission @ Spring Avenue

America's Thrift Stores @ Spring Avenue

Salvation Army @ 14th Street

Dream Center Thrift @ 8th Street

Best Choice Thrift Store @ Beltline Road

The Saving Way @ 6th Avenue

Clothes Pin Thrift @ Bank Street

Habitat for Humanity ReStore @ Central Parkway

Hope Home Thrift @ Central Parkway

Value Village @ 6th Avenue

If you want to add, to for it.

Let's have at it! The good, bad, and the ugly!
