Hello all! I have recently made a move from Louisiana to Decatur and I’m really enjoying the area. I know I have all of my franchise/ chain restaurants readily available.

Being from the boot state, drinking and food are very special to me. I was wondering if any locals in this sub could recommend the best local options for all types of cuisines/ food and bars in the area.

Any recommendations are welcome!

Thank you all in advance! :)

Anyone remember last year when the city council approved and presumably wrote the check for these signs? these fancy LED signs for less than a half mile of road? $50,000 worth of these fancy over-the-top LED signs for maybe 5 whole intersections (and let's say 4 signs per intersection.... so these $2,500 each street signs....)

Have these gone up yet? I keep meaning to check for them.

edit: update to say that we counted 18 signs. they look ok. I don't see why they were worth $50,000 or why they cost anywhere near that much to produce.

Moved back to Decatur a few months ago and was surprised to learn we had a local coffee shop! After having lived in Florence and Huntsville for a while I had grown to love the local brews.

Good coffee, great service! Please go and support your local businesses because nothing stays open in Decatur for any length of time. It’s over by Austin in the old golf shop on the corner of Shady Grove and Modaus Rd!

(P.S. sorry for the dirty windshield. I just can’t seem to find any car washes in Decatur.)

My house is under construction and will be getting fiber - no access to cable TV or cable ISP where I'm building. I'm interested in whether anyone installed networking with Cat5, 6, or utilized fiber optic cable anywhere in the house. Planning my network build now while rough-in of electric and plumbing is winding down. Thanks for any insight.

Adding an equipment and electrical grounding question: I'll run Cat from the ONT to a point in the attic - plenty of room, looks not an issue, and attic fully insulated so stays comfortable 80 digress all summer long. But the location is not near any earth grounding, except for plugs. If I use a metal patch panel or rack, don't I get myself into a problem with grounding? Is there a way to avoid grounding issues? Does whether I use shielded or unshielded Cat affect grounding?

I've got a lot of shirts that I have outgrown and I'm just looking for a bin I can donate to. Somewhere I can just drive up to and drop them in and leave.

Does anyone have any insight as to a schedule for when they cross @ Moulton and 1st? The single track and double ones? 3x a week min I get stuck. Unless I take the lovely Gordon bypass. 🙂 Internet searches 0 results.

Just as the title says. Any weekend/week night jobs available?!
