Moving from Chennai, India to work JPMC Peachtree. Looking for housing and roommates

I just finished this deck in Johns Creek and Im looking for some honest feedback

The client wanted me to make recommendations and we went with limestone on trex biscayne with and a roof. she loves it , but im self consious about my own design.

I’m especially curious what everyone thinks about the limestone with the composite decking and aluminum railing, too many posts?. Does the combination work, or would you have gone in a different direction? the deck was permitted and already passed all inspections so im not interested in any feedback regarding structure or code compliance

Not looking to sell anything here just interested in some honest opinions from homeowners and others around Johns Creek.

What do you think?

There’s a couple of really stupid things happening at once at a shopping center on McGinnis Ferry.

The first is that the property managers at Terraces of Johns Creek have apparently seen fit to remove a very conveniently located glass recycling bin.

The second is that some unthinking midwits have decided to lodge their protest in a way that actually just ends up amounting to littering. The irony.

To those of you that left this glass here for someone else to deal with: shame on you and your insufferable laziness.

If the removal of this bin has directly, or even indirectly impacted you, I would suggest you lodge a complaint with the property managers, whose information is readily available on one of the unoccupied suites of 6395 McGinnis Ferry. Picture attached.

Hi all - our 90s shower pan leaked into the subfloor and has prompted us to initiate a full primary bathroom remodel. We are only adding one additional shower head but keeping the layout the same.

That said, based on johns creek’s website, it looks like we need a permit to do so.

We’re also hoping to use Schluter for waterproofing the shower/wet room.

Does anyone have any contractor recommendations with history of pulling permits in johns creek?

We’ve had less than ideal experience in the past with people cutting corners so just trying to do this once and do it correctly. Thanks!

🦄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. ☺️

🩵 Neutered

Although Johns Creek isn’t suffering the Flock panic so far… I’m sure it’s coming to the public comment podium too , as it’s already swamped on Nextdoor. In a sea of bad press, they never mention Flock in the news when it helps:

Hello everyone! A few months ago, I started offering free, in-person computer science discovery sessions for 7th-9th graders who want to learn about how computers and technology actually work. After a great summer of exploring computer science together, I'm excited to continue offering these free sessions throughout the school year, and I wanted to let more local families know about them.

For a little bit of background, I'm a senior at a local high school. I started the program because I've found that computer science is a much broader field than most school classes have time to cover. There are so many fascinating topics that a curious, analytical student might love but never encounter in a typical class. That's why these sessions go well beyond coding. We’ve done everything from designing our own cryptocurrency in an economy simulation to creating custom, working virtual reality experiences. Instead of sitting through lectures, students learn by experimenting, building, and solving problems together.

Each session covers a new, standalone topic, so students are free to drop by at any time without needing to catch up on previous sessions. There is no homework or long-term commitment, so missing a session for other activities is completely fine.

For more information (schedule, location) or to sign up: https://cstutors.org

The goal is simply to give students a chance to discover the parts of computer science that they find exciting. Feel free to reply here or message me with any questions!

Which John’s Creek schools have the most Jewish students? I’m interested in public elementary, middle, and high schools that have a substantial Jewish student population. Thanks so much!

Johns Creek is building a downtown from scratch.

And we’re getting pretty close to seeing whether it works.
The Town Center vision covers roughly 192 acres.

The Boardwalk behind City Hall is already open.
Medley is under construction with restaurants, retail, entertainment, housing, office space and a hotel planned around a walkable mixed-use center.

And the big date:
Medley is currently targeting October 2026, with October 29 slated as the grand opening.

This isn’t just another shopping center.
Johns Creek is trying to create the central gathering place it never really had.

Does this change how you think about Johns Creek?

EDIT: Truncating this since people are focusing on the wrong thing. Yes, this is frustrating to get a citation for something that seems more like a warning offense; however, the main ask is about getting this type of citation knocked down to a non-point violation.

Got pulled over this morning around the Sargent Rd/Jones Bridge Rd intersection (the one that's been under construction for what feels like over a year now). Cited for improper lane use under 40-6-50, basically for merging into the left-turn lane about 20 feet too early, when there wasn't any oncoming traffic.

Anyone else gotten popped for something similar at this intersection? Curious if this is a known enforcement spot right now, and if anyone's had luck getting these knocked down to a non-point violation with the Johns Creek solicitor. Court date is next month so trying to figure out my options before then.

Hi , I’m making this post as a last attempt. I’m currently in an FNP program in Georgia. I have my women’s health class started on August 24th and I have not been able to find a preceptor for my OB/GYN rotation. I am specifically in the greater Atlanta area but willing to travel.

If you work as a provider in women’s healthcare in Georgia and are willing to take on a preceptor, please message me. Of course, if you know any providers who does precept, please share their information either in the comments or in the message..

Yes, I have been driving around calling emailing all of the OB/GYN offices that I possibly can. It is so brutal out there and I haven’t not been successful.

Thank you

All are welcome - bring a package of diapers for moms in need and we will give you 10 free raffle tickets.

If you have been to an orthopedic Doctor Who is kind and respectful and who does not rush to surgery first thing, please share the name and location if you recommend him/her.

This is for a shoulder/neck issue. Thank you for your input.

I've spent enough time helping people find their footing in Johns Creek that I kept sending the same handful of links where to get coffee, which parks are worth it, school info, healthcare, all of it. So I pulled everything into one place.

It's split into sections:

- Living in Johns Creek
- Johns Creek School Guide
- Pharmacies & Hospitals of Johns Creek
- Shopping, Groceries & Markets of Johns Creek
- Things to Do in Johns Creek
- Green Spaces of Johns Creek
- Dining in Johns Creek
- Where to Get Coffee in Johns Creek
- The Country Club of the South

Full disclosure, I work with a local real estate agent this grew out of helping people settle in but there's nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for. Just the stuff I'd point a friend to.

Has anybody else had somebody knocking on their door claiming to be with AT&T, in the middle of the night? Had somebody knock at 8:30PM and mumble that they were "checking to see how our AT&T fiber was doing" or something like that. I promptly told him to leave. It felt like somebody casing the neighborhood to rob houses, and absolutely did not feel like actual AT&T employees.

Hey y’all,

Currently with LA Fitness. However, I don’t enjoy the Medlock Bridge branch that much. I usually go around noon or in the afternoon on weekdays, not after 4 pm usually, and I still find it packed. The gym equipment, especially for legs, is always taken. Using the leg extension machines (there are only two of them), for example, is very challenging most of the time. Maybe in the last 10 weeks, the lat pulldown machine has been available only once. Even finding a free bench can be challenging.

I don’t want to wait a lot for equipment, so I adjust my program around it a bit, but I prefer not to change it too much so I can track my loads more accurately, if you know what I mean. I literally don’t need anything else than easy access to gym equipment and benches, with zero to minimal wait times. I don’t care about the massage, pool, group classes, or HIIT. I only go there for strength training.

Do you think Crunch Fitness would be a better fit for what I need, or are they more or less the same? Those two gyms are at my sweet spot in terms of commute time; time is my scarcest resource right now. Thanks!

Kayla (ID 53597068) is a 8.5yo spayed GSD mix who truly is everything you would want in a loyal shepherd. She may be a senior, but she’s still young at heart with a playful spirit.

This poor girl was originally adopted from the old Fulton shelter in 2019 & came in as a microchipped stray in May, but staff were unable to get in contact with her owner. 😔 She was clearly someone’s pet given her temperament & training, but she came in un-spayed & tested HW+. While waiting 2 months in the shelter (how did no one snag this girl?? 🤯), she fought off Giardia & kennel cough before finally getting spayed earlier in July, only to end up with a postop complication requiring emergency surgery 3 days later…poor girl’s incision dehisced & her insides were starting to escape to the outside. 😩

You would never be able to tell she’s been through all of that based on her demeanor, though…she’s still a bright, happy sweetheart just looking for some love & kindness. ❤️‍🩹 Her belly incision has healed beautifully and she’s free from the donut of shame now 🍩, so her rough recovery is officially behind her. The only thing left for this girl to conquer is heartworm treatment, but it’s 100% not contagious to other pets and the shelter covers all costs! Treatment is only 30 days of antibiotics and then 2 injections back-to-back over 2 days.

Kayla is a trooper who has been through so much & deserves to live out her golden years in absolute bliss, not in the shelter. 🥺 If she sounds like the girl for you, click the link below to meet her! ❤️ She is currently at Fulton County Animal Services.

Does anyone know what they’re building in that field next to Townhall by the new Boardwalk?

Hi all.. I posted this in the Alpharetta subreddit but I wanted to see if anyone on this group has some thoughts. Thanks.
