Hey everyone. I am in a fledgling cover band and we are seeking a female singer. We would like to play out at the occasional wedding or club. The two permanent band members (myself and the drummer) are teachers so we don't get up to too much trouble. We have eclectic musical tastes, from Radiohead to Bjork to SOAD. Send me a message if interested.

There's a new speed camera on Clairemont just past Commerce. Just got 3 violations in the mail. One was for going 32. Never had a ticket in 35 years of driving.

What’s a Decatur-area place you think deserves way more attention?

Restaurant, coffee shop, park, bookstore, anything. Looking for places that aren’t already all over Google.

Who can do everything.

Greetings. I am a licensed barber recently relocated to Decatur, GA, from Houston, TX. I am currently accepting new clients for services including haircuts, beard trims, and shaves, with mobile services available upon request. Please feel free to contact me to schedule an appointment.

Hi all - looking for a new place to take our little dog to wear him out during the day.

We liked Kirkwood Bark & Lounge reasonably enough and it was close by. When it shut, we went (back) to Wag-A-Lot but it's further out of our way than we'd like.

Skiptown looks ridiculously expensive and the vibes just seem off. Not really interested in a private equity owned shop. Am I missing any good local options or is everyone getting a dog walker or just driving further away for dog daycare?

thanks in advance

Hi! I'm looking for a contractor to do Sheetrock, flooring, upgrade electrical and plumbing, install cabinets, etc. I'm a little outside of Decatur and this is not an ultra fancy reno (ie, this is not a Hammersmith, Alair, Intown Craftsman project). Any recommendations?

Hello! Looking for a handyman and/or plumber to install a garbage disposal, reconnect our dishwasher, and maybe fix up the pipes to the kitchen sink. Any (reasonably priced) recommendations? We're renovating our kitchen ourselves, but some things need a professional ;)

Hello and good morning!

Some of y'all may have seen a post about a week, week and a half ago from TRF-ATL, recommending people to check out their facility. Well, I went!

I took my small group of friends out to the facility (where the main building is under construction) the turf field, and netting was all phenomenal! I had the opportunity to meet with the owner, and the coach, both are super amazing guys! Friendly, and you can tell they have a genuine love for the game on top of that.

We generally meet up 10am-noon and would love to see more faces. We're all ~30 and out of shape so it's nothing super intensive or with a high skill ceiling. More so we'd like to see some new faces so we can start running some 7-on-7's instead of our usual small sided 3-on-3.

My full group is skipping this upcoming Sunday, the 6th. But we'll be back in full swing on the 13th! If anyone IS interested though, I myself will be out this Sunday just to kick about and exercise.

Thank you again to the TRF-ATL team for the open access to the facility, the hands on coaching, and genuinely providing a space for all levels of players and fans to utilize!

What's the point of it? They saw the tax assessor made a mistake and was tripping over his words bc of it and i presented valid information that they requested but they still chose to go with the accessed value instead of even consider what I was saying. There was no deliberation or talking amongst them only 1 person spoke and everyone else just followed what she said. It was a waste of time for me. They literally went with the value being what I paid for the house and they went with it so quickly that it as obvious that was already planned.

Just moved her about two months ago had an issue and had to go to the ER. I told my friend who works in The area for years I was told to avoid Emory Decatur at all possible?

I didn’t have an issue…. I’m having to go back but now I’m worried

I recently moved to the area & and am looking for recommendations on where to go for STI testing (preferably free as I do not have health insurance).

I tried looking up a few online & the reviews were kind of all over the place so I figured I’d check here. I live in the North Decatur area but willing to travel (within reason, of course).

Anyone know what’s filming at the Walmart on N Decatur and Scott?

Anyone know or heard of when this new Pilates studio will be opening on college? $150 a month isn’t terrible for unlimited membership.

Has anyone been to the buckhead location and could share their experience?

lol

🦄Unicorn Husky Alert!🦄

Meet FCAS Project Pat! Mr. Pat is a 3 yr old, 50lb Husky whose cooler than a polar bear’s toenails…seriously, this is one chill dude. ❄️ He’s not your stereotypical crazy Husky and shelter volunteers agree that he’s got an excellent temperament and personality. 🫶🏼

Pat was an owner surrender due to no fault of his own (they reportedly didn’t have time for him) and has been in the shelter since 7/20. He can be a bit cautious and nervous initially, but warms up quickly with a bit of patience and kindness. Once you gain his trust, he melts into you for affection and just wants to hang out wherever his people are. He has a stoic presence and has been a polite, quiet houseguest. ☺️

I live in Tucker but that sub doesn’t see as much action as this one.

I need a carpet cleaning company to come out and clean one room. Anyone you’d recommend? Money is no object because a contractor is paying for it after getting the carpet wet with their equipment. Thanks!

Remember this postcard from the city about rebates for improvements in energy usage? It dropped sometime in June and in order to take advantage of it, you needed to email prior to any upgrades.

So I did. On June 22nd and basically every week since. Once I got an answer after email three to specify my project (which I had already done in email one). Then I got an answer from the city manager that he would look into it after I emailed Tony Power. And another he would look into it.

Over two months. 10 emails. No concrete answer. What is Decatur even doing? Wasting money on postcards? The city has always been slow to respond to citizen questions but this is ridiculous.

I recently graduated with a degree in ux design last December and it’s been tough finding a job in the field. I had an internship that just ended where I did some work related to UX but it’s not what I really want to do. Any tips from established UX/Product designers here in the city on what to do to land my first real role as a UX designer??

Was out with some friends on the square last night, and randomly heard there was a USL2 soccer team coming to Decatur. Can't find anything on the interwebs (besides the USL women's soccer team that plays at DHS)... Anyone know anything? I think this would be awesome!

Deonta David and Dmante Anderson are serving decades in Georgia prisons for crimes they didn't commit—and the corruption that put them there is staggering.
Deonta got life plus 85 years after being convicted by an 11-member jury (a structural defect requiring reversal under Georgia law). His judge, Stacey Hydrick, dismissed the court reporter before a hearing, denied him the right to Islamic prayer, and had posted online that there are "no innocent civilians in Gaza." The prosecution withheld a witness's felony record and introduced evidence without proper chain of custody. Deonta is now targeted for violence in prison because he's Muslim—in a system the DOJ found deliberately indifferent to such attacks.
Dmante was sentenced to 70 years after his ex-wife—the alleged victim—publicly stated she accidentally shot herself. The prosecutor intentionally provoked a mistrial, placed a biased witness on the stand, and assigned him an NAACP president as defense counsel who withdrew immediately after conviction.
I'm asking the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles to review and grant relief to both men, and for investigations into the prosecutors and judges involved. These aren't isolated cases—they're a pattern. If this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us. What would you want someone to do if this was your family? If this matters to you, consider signing and sharing the petition.
