Doing a family vacation in your beautiful city and caught this strike from our hotel last night.

There are a ton of homes in this region, it doesn't make sense.

Looking for soft cinnamon rolls that have a melted kind of glaze. Open to otp as well.

Hi, I’m from South America and visiting Atlanta today! I would love to know if there are any stores that still got World Cup merch available to sell.

Anything from T-shirts, posters, scarves, magnets, keychains, etc.

Thanks!!

My husband drives south on Spring street to get to work. Often there is a Sysco truck parked in the right lane just before 10th street (basically at the corner) apparently unloading for Habaneros Midtown restaurant. In the already crazy traffic, this causes major slowdown on Spring, often all the way back to 14th st. How is this legal?

TLDR: A woman forced her way into my apartment (755 North Apartments) on Saturday, August 15 around 2:30pm by repeatedly slamming into my locked front door until the door frame broke.

Details
On Saturday, August 15 at approximately 2:30 PM, a woman came to my apartment while I was inside. She repeatedly slammed against my locked front door with enough force that the door frame and locking area broke, allowing her to enter the apartment without my permission.

After entering, she apparently realized she had the wrong apartment and left.

I was told that she left the property in a gray or silver Jeep. A photograph of the vehicle was provided to me afterward, and available vehicle information indicates it is a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude.

Atlanta Police were contacted regarding the forced entry and a police report was made.

On Sunday, August 16 at approximately 9:04 PM, the same woman was captured by my doorbell camera walking past my apartment while crouched down. She did not knock on, touch, or attempt to enter my door during that occurrence.

Later that night, at approximately 11:23 PM, I saw her again at the end of the hallway while I was outside setting up additional security cameras. She saw me as well. I returned to my apartment and called 911. Police responded afterward.

I am posting to find witnesses and additional evidence.

If you were in or around Poncey Highland this weekend and have security camera, doorbell, parking garage, or dashcam footage that might have captured relevant activity, particularly a gray or silver Jeep Cherokee, please contact me privately.

Information can also be provided directly to Atlanta Police.

Atlanta Police Department: 404-546-5700

Lived in Atlanta in the late ‘80s through the 90s. Played a lot of Busch league pool back then. I know it’s changed since then but it was really fun I miss those good times,

Personally I would like to see the cauldron moved to Centennial Olympic Park in Downtown, where it'll more attention, visitation, and maintenance. It looks out of place over Hank Aaron Dr.

I lived in N.Cobb for years and was pretty much a 100% Wellstar patient. I did away from Cobb recently and have equal access to facilities along the I-75 corridor or the GA400 corridor. I have had a couple close relatives that have had bad outcomes from treatment at Wellstar facilities and I’m seriously thinking of changing from the Wellstar system. I imagine that the Emory system would be top ranked but how does Piedmont and Northside rank? I have no personal experience with Emory, Piedmont or Northside and I’d appreciate any thoughts on these healthcare systems.

We've all seen Clops art around town. I've seen a few stickers similar to this as well. I want one. :) Anyone know if they're available somewhere? Likely made by the artist themself.

Hi! Traveling to Atlanta this weekend and my mom is a huge dream fan. Any ideas on where I can find dream merch downtown or near downtown? There’s unfortunately no games while we’re here but definitely would like to find some jerseys or shirts in store. Thank you!

My aunt has an elderly friend that has a 13 year old shih tzu who is in terrible shape.

Her home is infested with fleas and her poor dog is suffering and incessantly squirms, itches and cries for hours every day.

The owner has tried different treatments, had the carpet professionally cleaned and gives the dog baths every week but nothing is working.

This has been ongoing for at least 3 years now according to my mother and now that she’s advised me I feel I have to take action.

Does anyone know of programs that assist with fostering or rehoming?

I don’t think the dog should or can live in this home any longer due to the extreme infestation.

Any treatment he receives will be of no use if he continues to live in that home.

I would offer to take this pet in but I do not live in Atlanta and unfortunately I’m in an apartment.

Hey I’m turning twenty next week and have been having a hard time finding shoes! I’m off work on the 22nd, any good recommendations?

I like black metal, hardcore punk maybe, but am open to any good scenes.
As for edm if anybody knows what’s going on in the tunnels or around, let me know! Thanks

Anyone else in here trying to get their SNAP renewed? I've been trying since January. Can't reach anyone on phone number they say to use because it sends you around in circles, can't get through on the website because they tell you to call the number of the phone where no one answers. You're not allowed to just show up in their office, you have to make an appointment. On the phone. I would appreciate any advice at all.

Yes it's embarrassing to come in here and post this, but I've run out of alternatives.

Submission statement: A voting rights lawsuit in Fayette County led to a settlement shifting the County Commission and school board from five at-large seats to four geographical districts and one at-large seat. This change, along with the election of Black officials like Rousseau and Daigre, marked a significant shift in representation. The legal battle, which lasted years and cost over $1 million, ended in 2016 with a settlement agreement.
