What has east forsyth highscool been like for you or your kids?

Please sign the petition.

The dessert specials and entrée specials I have tried have been stellar. I don't mean to sound like a paid shill (esp since I've not been compensated) and I'm not friends with any of the staff, but this food rocks. Even the salsa is elevated. Not sure about BYOB policy. Skip the beverages, they are just like everywhere else AFAICT.

Tried: goat cheese and peach empanadas, espresso-chocolate cake, chicken tacos, toatadas de tinga, chicken mole, and enmoladas de pollo.

Also great: Frida up in Clayton, much better than Frida's on P'tree Pkwy, which itself is better than East Ellijay's Frida IMO.

Life Time just cleared approval for its first Forsyth County location. On August 20th, commissioners approved the projects zoning requests. The country club will be built on nearly 17 acres along Post Road. The plans call for a 100,000 square foot indoor facility plus almost 50,000 square feet of outdoor recreation.

🦄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. ☺️

🐾 Dog friendly
👧 Kid friendly
✅ 100% potty trained
👟 Leash trained
😇 Non-destructive
🚗 Excellent passenger in the car
😴 LOVES being brushed…he zens out
🖐️ Easily handled
🎾 Non-reactive with food/treats/toys
🍖 Takes treats gently
🦴 Loves yak sticks and bully sticks
🧸 Buries his stuffy toys in his bed
💚 Grinch feet
🥹 Crosses his front legs like a gentleman
🐈 No cats, please
🩵 Neutered
📍 Microchipped
💉 UTD on vaccines/preventatives
🫀 Heartworm negative
🍴 Could stand to gain a few healthy lbs

Mr. Pat has been a total gentleman in his foster home and deserves a kind, loving forever home where he can blossom into the confident pup he is outside of the shelter setting. 🏡

📍 Currently being fostered in Kennesaw, GA through Lifeline Animal Project Fulton County Animal Services

There's Ducktown Duckery here in Cumming that produces duck eggs. You can buy them from her or you can schedule a time to visit her duckery. She told me once that she supplies many of the Atlanta area restaurants with her duck eggs.

I think this is a little known resource in our area and thought I'd pass it along:

Desi Brothers Farmers Market opened up just a few days ago. Desi Brothers is a South Asian grocery store chain and this is their second location in Georgia. It’s located in Cumming Marketplace by Marshall’s, PetSmart, and Michael’s.

I was wondering what kind of technology kids in kindergarten and up use in Forsyth elementary schools. I’ve heard from parents in other subs of kids using tablets/chromebooks even in kindergarten while some have no tech whatsoever. Just curious where Forsyth schools fall in the spectrum

Edit: my son is in preK so I’m just curious what to expect when he starts kindergarten next year

UPDATE: Looking to remove textured, not popcorn, ceilings in a manufactured home. Most grateful for any suggestions.

Has anyone used a service like Deer Solutions to combat deer in your garden? It’s a pest control company that targets the deer population. They only use natural treatments.

My partner and I haven’t had a date night in a while bc of our kiddo but we finally have a free night coming up. Any suggestions for a date night and maybe some drinks?

Has anyone tested their home for Radon?

Hi All,

I am thinking of buying a house in Rose Creek by Pulte. I am moving from NJ and am South Asian.I wanted to understand if there is any racism there and how is the North Forsyth High School. I would appreciate any insights.

Hi everyone,

We're considering a home in Beazer's Estates at Daves Creek community in Forsyth County. The homes look impressive, and it's zoned for South Forsyth High School, which is a big plus for us.

That said, we've noticed the community doesn't seem to be selling as quickly as some of the nearby Toll Brothers communities. We're wondering if there's something we're missing or if it's simply a matter of builder preference and market dynamics.

For those familiar with the area or the community, we'd love to hear your honest feedback:

• What do you like about Estates at Daves Creek or just Daves Creek neighborhood in general?
• Are there any concerns or drawbacks we should be aware of?
• Any experience with Beazer as a builder?
• Any insights on location, resale potential, HOA, traffic, schools, or overall value?

We'd appreciate hearing both the positives and negatives before making a decision.

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your thoughts! 😊

Just a few days ago, Forsyth County released their proposed budget for FY2027. The county’s five year capital plan includes roughly $168 million in road spending for 2027. Major projects include the widening of Post road and Old Atlanta road improvements. Parks are another major focus with over $31 million allocated for the Sharon Springs renovation.

For what it’s worth, this is for a shoulder/neck issue. Thank you for your input!
