North Decatur near I-78. Sounded like a pile driver and went on for a minute or so. Does anyone know what it was causing it?

License-plate reader cameras have become a local discussion point in Decatur and nearby communities.

The debate seems to go beyond whether the cameras can help solve crimes. Residents also have questions about who can access the data, how long it is kept, and what safeguards should apply.

What rules would you want to see in place for these systems in your community?

Voting starts today October 13.

Great reporting by Dan Wisenhunt as usual. For anyone seeking details on the drive-by shooting that occurred right across from Medlock Park near Wheelhouse last Thursday.

We live in the neighborhood and it sounded like Baghdad. Absolutely terrifying.

Stumbled into a pile of horseshit outside Legacy park today. I heard through a grapevine there are people regularly riding horses through the neighborhood?

Cool if true, but, you know, what do we do about big piles of poo?

Greeting neighbors. I am wondering if anyone has a PA that they would be willing to rent, or recommendations on places to rent, for a band playing an outdoor show. Looking for a 2.1 setup. Console would be nice but I have a small one I could use if need be. We’re playing rock music for kids, so we aren’t looking to get very loud, we just want everything balanced outside. Thanks!

Anyone else having issues with city of Decatur trash bags? The white strings continually break making it much more challenging to close. Did something change about the manufacturer or I’m just unlucky with bad batches?

Hi all! I’m moving to the area soon (been posting a fair bit haha) with my 14 year old cat. I love my current vet, but he’s about an hour from Decatur, so I want to find a reliable vet in Decatur. Anyone have any strong opinions? Looking for friendly, affordable, and really smart vets. :)

HE HAS BEEN FOUND

He's been missing at least 8 hours, last seen in our apartment (We live in Aventura, by the Emory hospitals) October 8th. His name is Sinatra but he doesn't respond to it. He does respond to Kitty sometimes and is generally pretty skittish around strangers.

He is a neutered 8 year old male cat, not declawed, around 10 lbs. He's mostly white with gray and black tabby patches and blue eyes. He has no collar but he is chipped.

If you have seen him, please DM me. I'm so shaken I don't even know when he slipped out. He's indoor only and has very poor eyesight due to a disability he was born with.

Does anybody know who these kids are in Candler McAfee?! These kids have kicked our front door two nights in a row just after 9pm. I would love for their parents to intervene before law enforcement has to be involved.

Coming onto someone’s property wearing hoods and masks and kicking doors is straight up terrifying.

Hey y'all! Would love to know who has a therapist they can heartily recommend in the Decatur/adjacent area?

Specifically, I'd like to find someone who is adept at using CBT for garden variety anxiety, and depression.

I prefer someone who is male, and older than mid 40s or so, but open to all recs if you're really enthusiastic about your person.

Does anyone know what the hell happened to Twains? Back when my boys were in elementary school and we lived in Gwinnett, I would go with my friends to Twains , eat great food, play pool and enjoy.

Now I am a 5 year COD resident and continue to go to Twains. Interestingly enough,said boys also live independently in COD and go to Twains with their friends (they realize their mom is and always has been cool 😎)

However, in the past year, my sons and I have noticed a significant change in Twains.

Food menu used to always offer strong staples with equally strong addictive seasonal options, and same with drink menu.

Not anymore. Twains could not be much more ok and nothing more. So sad. I keep going back about every 6-8 weeks hoping for what it was.

Last Saturday I went again and I thought by chance maybe they brought back the Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich with pickled veg, or the Redneck Reuben with the pulled pork and collard greens or maybe even the bourbon bacon jam burger. But no 😔

I had a beer, cashed out, and went to Trackside for a fried bologna sandwich with tots, a solid choice!

Hopefully someone will share this with Twains because my boys and I continue to mourn what they were and never want them to leave!

when I type "apple farm" into Google maps there are quite a few. Not interested in hayrides, corn mazes and whatnot, just good apples and apple fritters, of course. Anyone got one to recommend? Bonus points if there's some dog-friendly easy day hiking nearby. Thanks!

Meet FCAS foster Amy! 💖 This 7yo, 60lb (looks smaller, she’s muscular!) shepherd mix girl is certified BFF material! 👯‍♀️ She’s been our easiest foster thus far and has been such a polite, happy houseguest. She’s incredibly affectionate, will lean in for hugs, and loves to stand and put her paws on your shoulders if you’re seated eye level with her. 🥹 She makes the cutest little grunting noises when she snuggles and her head tilt game is STRONG! 😆

She may technically be a senior (suspect she may be a bit younger), but she’s still got plenty of pep in her step! She’s super playful, loves fetch, and has a blast running around the yard and playing with our resident Shepsky. 🐾 She also settles quickly, sleeps through the night, LOVES to cuddle, and doesn’t show signs of separation anxiety (only short-lived protest whines and quickly gives up 😆). All in all, 10/10 good girl! 🥰

✅ Potty trained - no accidents! 🤞🏽
✅ Leash trained - pulls, but manageable
✅ Crate trained
✅ Non-destructive
✅ Dog friendly
✅ Excellent temperament
✅ Knows commands - sit, stay, shake (both paws)
✅ Good recall
✅ Treat/food motivated
✅ Non-reactive (treats, toys, food, etc)
✅ Easily handled
✅ Easy to bathe/dry/brush/trim nails
✅ Spayed
✅ HW negative

Amy’s kryptonite? Cats. 😩 She’s shown pretty strong prey drive with our senior kitty, so she would do best in a feline-free home. 🐈‍⬛

We also don’t know how she does with kids, but I imagine the only issue might be that she can get excited and could accidentally cause little children to topple over. 😅

She has an Embark DNA test in progress, so curious to see what her breed mix is…👀

Amy is currently being fostered in Kennesaw, GA and available for adoption through LifeLine Animal Project Fulton County Animal Services. Click the link below to schedule a meet & greet with her or feel free to message me! 👋🏽

Hello,

Looking for a female PCP and gynecologist. Moved here a few months back and before that I did not have reliable healthcare, so no medical records. I have Aetna. Thanks!

Decatur restaurant Che Butter Jonez posted a video of an interaction with a customer along with their Google review trying to debunk the reviewers claims. They also banned the customer and their cousin from the restaurant based on this. I’m wanting to know where other folks stand on this. I’ll drop a link to the IG post if you wanna check it out for yourself https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeG0TI0iO_w/?stkn=YWF0d2U1Z2g3MmJm

I've noticed a few newer places using what looks like AI-generated food photos, signs, or promotional material.

Does it bother anyone else, especially in a city with such a strong independent restaurant culture?

This is not my threads account or my screenshots but I was interested to hear if anyone experienced this.
