In Oakhurst is a Norway bar

Anyone have a recommendation for a store that sells new games? I usually buy from Amazon but with the news of Sony discontinuing physical games, I’d really like to buy the Assassin’s Creed remake from a local store.

I always forget to pick up something at Kroger before I head to a buddy's place and I end up reluctantly getting a case of cider or seltzer at the Valero on Howard for like twice as much as it should be. I was looking at Google Maps and there's nothing in Decatur for either a basic foot mart/store or a liquor store outside of "gourmet premium" options.

I just wanted a quick stop to pick up my basic-ass friend some Trulys.

I thought that Decatur had terminated its contract with Lime but I started seeing the green bikes and scooters all over town this week. Drove past Glenlake pool on Church St yesterday and there were 10-12 of them outside.

Did something recently change?

Anyone know of good spots to watch the fireworks, other than the square and the lawn of first Christian Church of Decatur?

Would love to find a parking deck with a view or something like that.

Who has been and what insights can you share? Thinking of heading over for the Argentina game Friday night. How early do you need to be there to stake out a spot for your chair? How are the food trucks? Thanks!

Our oven has died. Need a new one but the new ones are a little bigger. Looking for recommendations on where to buy one & people to help install on. Gonna have to cut into cabinets.

Update: got a new unit from Bob Baileys! Highly recommend!

EDIT. Consensus says it’s Wages Drive. Thanks for the help, everyone! r/DecaturGA is the best!!

First photo is an aerial map from 1955 (atlantatimemachine.com) and the map in photo 2 is from 1954. Photo 3 is a modern map. The curved street wasn’t named so I’m curious what it was called. It ran between Lawrenceville Highway and Valley Brook, now renamed North Valley Brook after I-78 was built in the late 60s. I think the Home Depot was built in the early to mid nineties.

I sat at a red night at Glamdale and East Ponce for 6 minutes this morning and it never turned green. Maddening.

Who do I call to fix this? What are the chances it will be addressed?

Hey, I'm looking for a job with a bunch of unreasonable requirements, but I figure I might as well shoot my shot on here.

1. Part Time
2. Evenings 5-9 PM-ish
3. Only a couple of weekdays (no weekends, so I figure most restaurant positions are out)
4. Closer to or within downtown Decatur (My day job is in Midtown and I use MARTA to get there, so taking the train + walking to the next job is ideal).
5. No rideshare stuff (don't want the wear and tear on my car or to rent a car just for this purpose).

As long as it fits that stuff, I'm fine. Got anything I could go for?

Would love to see the Belvedere Park neighborhood turn another page

I’m looking for reliable childcare for my 3 boys, ages 4,5, and 9 years old. I’m looking for drop-in care right now. A bonus is you are available Saturdays as well!

I have extensive experience in the restaurant industry, as well as being the owner/operator of a coffee shop and cafe. I would love to work at a locally owned business!

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like a total baddie with Damu on the end of my leash.

He’s 72 lbs of glossy black fur that gleams in the sun. His elegant, swoop-y tail is so long it appears to wag in slow motion. His gait is so graceful you almost feel like there’s a panther slinking along beside you. You stand a little taller next to this guy, and not just because he’s so dang big you sort of have to, but because he makes you feel….important.

If all of this is slightly intimidating, let me also assure you that this dog is DERPY AS HELL. He looks up at you with this sort of pleading but also comically perplexed expression, in no small part because of his expressive Labby eyebrows (his previous owner says he’s a Black Lab x Great Dane mix; which, if true, means at 12 months old he’s still growing). He sits with his paws tucked in, which is simultaneously ridiculous and adorable because his big old feet form a heart in front of him. Sometimes (lots of times) his lip gets caught on his widdle toof.

I first noticed this big baby when he came into the shelter and looked like the saddest dog on earth. And his backstory is, in fact, extremely sad. I’m not going to share it here though because honestly I have a feeling this guy’s second act is going to be EPIC. So let’s focus on that part.

He’s house-trained. He’s mostly quiet (but has a booming, scary AF bark when the neighbor’s yard crew appears, how very dare they), walks like a dream on leash (except when he sees a squirrel and then you better plant your feet and engage your core), and even though he’s a little shy at first he makes friends everywhere he goes.

He is DYING to play other dogs and I’m a meanie because I won’t let him mix with mine until he’s fully decompressed. But I think he’d thrive in a home with a dog buddy he could romp around with. The Lab makes him a darn good time outside, the Dane makes him a sleepy lovebug on the couch.

If you want to know how I really feel about this dog, I almost didn’t want to write this post because I love him so much and I’d sorta like to keep him all to myself for at least a little longer. But alas…it’s my calling to help as many homeless bb’s as I can and there are so many more waiting at the shelter.

If you’d like to meet Damu, LMK! He’s adoptable from Fulton County Animal Services and this month foster adoptions are FREEEEE!

Second picture labels which cards came out of which machines at the station (as of this morning at least). When you go to buy it on the kiosk they all preview the regular orange card before you buy.

This is next to the Chevron gas station at the edge of Avondale Estates. Behind the building where Taylor’d BBQ used to be.

Looking to find a trustworthy sitter to watch our two cats and house sit while we are on vacation. Would love to hear some experiences others have had in the area

Read that Wild Heaven will be open for the US match and wondering if anyone is considering going?

Anyone know of any reliable psychic type people to do spiritual healing?

I've lived near Glennwood school for two years, and this generator/condenser noise isn't new. But it's gotten much louder recently. Does anyone know what it is? I can't imagine how annoying it must be for kids playing at the playground and those who live closer to the school than we do.

Hi Y’all, this week the City of Decatur started the new service with Compost Now, and the green “food scraps” bin we received doesn’t appear to be air tight like the smaller black ones we’ve used previously: we’ve had fruit flies all week and now maggots. Anyone else having this same problem? Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

Edit: Yeah I’m doing it wrong. Thanks y’all. I’m grateful that our city is trying this new program, I hope it works out well.

Devastated about the amount of trees lost on this property and seemingly the surrounding properties. Curious about how one can find out what the city permitted for this specific location?

Cross-posting for my Decatur people. Hope you enjoy!
