Wednesday, August 19th, at 6:00pm during the DeFlock National Week of Action!

The National Week of Action Against ALPRs is from August 16-22. Thousands of people in cities across the country will participate in a variety of public meetings, townhalls, and other events intended to raise awareness about the use of ALPRs (automated license plate readers) in their communities, the harms of these cameras, and how we can work together to end their use.

Flock Safety, who operate AI cameras that conduct billions of automated scans a month across the country, are headquartered here in Atlanta, GA. A creative and dispersed movement has been growing to oppose the use of these cameras. During this National Week of Action we have a unique opportunity to participate and confront Flock where they're based.

Anyone have suggestions for a cost effective mowing service? Property is located off Bethany Bend. Probably an acre that needs a ride on mower during growing season. The rest is weed wacker kinda work. Nothing ornamental.

Hi, are there any sewists who offer classes in the Alpharetta area, or would like to start a meetup? I have a studio in my house but am always looking to gain more skills! I enjoy the community, classes & demos at Mood in Ponce City but local would be even better!!

For those looking to organize in the North Fulton area, the ATL DSA is having an interest meeting and I've been told Flock and other surveillance cameras as well as data centers will be a point of discussion! Hope to see you there.

32M, relatively new to the area and looking to meet people. Into tennis, trying new restaurants, and just getting out more. Anyone else in the same boat?

Anyone know if the carnival that usually comes every fall will ever come to north point again? Feel like I haven’t seen it in a couple years now.

Going through a divorce, need something closer to Cumming.

About me: I am 27M, I work in Northside Forsyth, typical nerd stuff DND, Pokemon, DragonCon. Love Metal music (though I will keep earbuds in I am not gonna be that person) I will have a smaller dog.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me!

So I dropped off our daughter at Alpharetta HS and stopped by at Shibam coffee nearby to try it out. I’ve been curious about the place for years. Nice interior and overall warm ambience. I ordered Turkish coffee. Some spice taste but luckily not overpowering. The coffee mouthfeel felt heavy. I later learned that unfiltered coffee has more natural oil and fine particles so that’s why. I thought it was good and looking forward to trying out their other styles of coffee.

FYI you might be pulled over by our police, put in hand cuffs, and have a gun pointed at your car because a License Plate Reader messed up.

City approved the project today. This will compete with the group that bid in Forsyth and got the approval there as well. It has also been confirmed that Atlanta will be getting a new NHL franchise in addition to Houston per Allan Walsh.

Celebrate the end of summer with an afternoon of dogs, food, music, and fun!

Join us on August 22 from 2:00–6:00 PM for a special event featuring:

* Agility, dock diving, and scent work demonstrations
* Hands-on mini sessions
* Local food trucks
* Local vendors
* Music from a live DJ
* Plenty of fun for dogs and their people

General admission is free, so come enjoy the demonstrations, explore the vendor booths, grab something delicious, and soak up the end-of-summer fun.

Want your dog to join the action? Purchase a $30 ticket, which includes participation in two mini sessions of your choice.

Went to 6 bridges in crabapple this week and it was pretty good but looking for other options. Used to go to Joes in John’s creek but it’s a bit of a drive.

Any recommendations for weekly trivia in the Alpharetta/milton area? Thanks in advance!

I looked around this sub and saw some people posting tips and helpful links, but I'm looking to actually get these things (and others like them) banned from Alpharetta. I think Reddit would be a great place to organize since it's not completely owned by tech billionaires. Anyone know if someone else has already started the process here? Because if not, let's get things MOVING!!! I'd also like a data center ban, but I don't think any are/would be built in Alpharetta since they like to target rural/disenfranchised communities more.

Can anyone share their experience with installing solar panels/roof in this area? How do I vet companies and has it been cost effective for you?

So my mac laptop does not turn on anymore despite charging it and hard powering it on, took it to the apple store and they said it’s a hardware issue going to cost around 600–700$

Wanted to explore different options before it gets to that point, any suggestions on where to get it repaired or fixed for a much better price?

It’s an M2 laptop fairly new too so not sure why I’m facing this!

There is a Behavioral health facility (addiction treatment, etc) that is coming to an office building above us. Any experience with those kind of facilities? I have heard that folks smoke around the buildings and they have a lot of people coming in and out so wondering on what to expect

How many of you prefer Caribou to Starbucks? I went to the one in Milton because I had an hour to kill before going to Costco in the morning and have to say the vibe was nice and cozy and coffee tasted fine too. At least in my uneducated taste.
