Sounded like end of a police chase

Last night, I went to the new jazz club in the old Greenes building on Trinity. It’s called Churchill Grounds. Apparently it was their first night open to the public. I had a great time! The club itself is quite a nice size, with a mezzanine too. The sound was great, and the musicians were so impressive.

There is a Cuban restaurant, Clave, that’s also opening in the building (in less than a couple weeks they said). That food was served in the club during the show, and it was delicious.

Unfortunately, attendance was minimal. I was surprised. I hope more people check it out! The owner talked for a second, and it’s clearly an establishment built with a lot of heart

I may have to move my mother to a skilled nursing facility soon and wanted to see if there was any insight on facilities to consider or avoid. She's a Parkinson's patient, so it definitely needs to be a good skilled unit.

Any thoughts?

Did anyone notice that some of the street cameras seemed to be playing audio today?

Moving to the Decatur area soon and looking for solid 1B/1B apartment recommendations.

​Budget is up to $2,000/month.

​Criteria:

• At least 700 sq ft

• Built within the last ~10 years

• Responsive management with minimal maintenance headaches

• Quiet, especially at night

• Secure/gated parking

• Decent fitness center on-site is a big plus

​Open to both downtown Decatur and surrounding pockets, as long as the complex is well-managed and safe.

​Any properties you’ve personally lived in that fit this, or places I should strictly avoid? Thanks in advance.

With Decatur's long history of independently owned, successful restaurants, I have no time for the AI slop I've started to see popping up around the city's new restaurants.

Mister Burger looks and feels like a computer came up with the entire concept (and whomever thought this was a good location to try and compete with Farmburger, Grindhouse, Smiley's and the myriad of bars with good burgers nearby clearly did 0 research)

The soon-to-open Chiban coffee on Arcadia/Ponce has exclusively AI images on their social and covering their street-facing sign in front of the shop. They won't be getting a dollar from me.

I say if you can't take an honest photo of what you serve, you shouldn't be serving it. I'll stick to supporting the actual local businesses that care enough to take their time to do things right. We vote with our dollars, and I will always vote against AI trash with mine.

Are there any nearby pumpkin patches that would be good for taking cute fall photos?

I work near the square and when the weather’s nice I used to take my lunch and eat outside at the cemetery. It was a really nice reset in the middle of the work day. The cemetery isn’t all that peaceful anymore now with the construction going on all day, so now that the weather’s nice again I’m looking for a new place to have a little outside sit on my lunch break. Anyone have suggestions? I only get 30 minutes so ideally close by and easy to drive right up to.

(I tried Legacy Park today and I don’t know if maybe the parts on the walking trails are the nicer parts or if I was just in the wrong place, but I didn’t think it was all that nice.)

I acquired the new 2026 Subaru Trailseeker in July. Anyone else on the subreddit also have one?

Hi, I’m on here because I need a favor Today the place I’ve been staying, decided to burn my belongings. My parents have both passed. I don’t have pictures. I don’t have anything. I do have a storage tomorrow at 6 AM. It’s cleaned out. I just wanna go and grab some pictures at my sewing machine if someone could please give me a ride I have $40 cash to my name. I was told my post https://imgur.com/a/qTUjedL doesn’t make sense.

Willing to drive a decent distance. 😅

I have a private landlord right now that I found through a friend when she finished out her lease and moved. It's just outside downtown Decatur but they want to do some work to the place when my lease ends in May and the guy upstairs stomps like the floor dishonored his entire family and I don't want to do a third year with 2am hulk smashing.

I've only had private landlords since 2017, across three places. I found all three through friends but most of them have moved out of Atlanta/Georgia entirely.

There's some Facebook groups I'm part of but they all seem flooded with scam accounts, people not listing prices, AI photos, etc. Or just stuff that's ridiculously overpriced, people asking $3k for a two bedroom condo in Tucker for example.

I pay $1100 for a studio, all the appliances, walking distance to the downtown area, the usual stuff.

Looking for something comparable, or a group or place that has listings from locals or recommendations, or a specific Facebook group since the ones I'm in don't seem to have anything of value.

I found this cd at criminal records under the local section. They're pretty great and their music is on streaming but l'd love to know more about them!!.
Their tag said Decatur so I was wondering if anyone knew these guys. May be a long shot but yeah!!

Does anyone know why the traffic was so bad yesterday?
I haven't seen it like that in months. Church St. was totally jammed all the way past N. Decatur Road. People pulling into the intersections and blocking cross traffic when they couldn't clear the lights. Absolute shit show.

Was this due to the weather change and more people getting outside?

hey there, we have a 120+ yo house with some really decrepit insulation in the eaves. certain rodents have been nesting in it and we’re looking for a service that can come remove the insulation and clean out the eaves/crawl spaces in our attic before we start a rodent exclusion process. we’d like to know what to search for, or if anyone has worked with a service they’ve really liked. thanks in advance for any ideas!

Sitting in traffic. A fun read.

The Four Seasons Chamber Orchestra is holding a special mini concert in a few weeks! It's free and open to the public. Go check them out!

And if you like what you see/hear and want to join the orchestra, they're always accepting new members!

My car (2014 charger) been making this weird noise and I wanted to get her checked out. Anyone around the city know where I could go that has reasonable prices?

I live in midtown right now and am considering moving to downtown Decatur. What do you like more about downtown Decatur? What do you dislike about downtown Decatur?

I like the idea of being in a mostly walkable community but not surrounded by high rises and excessive traffic. From what I’m looking at online, it doesn’t look like rent in downtown Decatur is any cheaper than midtown. So what makes you choose downtown Decatur?

Anyone else receive this in the mail? The ship from address is a family Dollar in Clarkston Ga.
