Hello and good morning!

Some of y'all may have seen a post about a week, week and a half ago from TRF-ATL, recommending people to check out their facility. Well, I went!

I took my small group of friends out to the facility (where the main building is under construction) the turf field, and netting was all phenomenal! I had the opportunity to meet with the owner, and the coach, both are super amazing guys! Friendly, and you can tell they have a genuine love for the game on top of that.

We generally meet up 10am-noon and would love to see more faces. We're all ~30 and out of shape so it's nothing super intensive or with a high skill ceiling. More so we'd like to see some new faces so we can start running some 7-on-7's instead of our usual small sided 3-on-3.

My full group is skipping this upcoming Sunday, the 6th. But we'll be back in full swing on the 13th! If anyone IS interested though, I myself will be out this Sunday just to kick about and exercise.

Thank you again to the TRF-ATL team for the open access to the facility, the hands on coaching, and genuinely providing a space for all levels of players and fans to utilize!

What's the point of it? They saw the tax assessor made a mistake and was tripping over his words bc of it and i presented valid information that they requested but they still chose to go with the accessed value instead of even consider what I was saying. There was no deliberation or talking amongst them only 1 person spoke and everyone else just followed what she said. It was a waste of time for me. They literally went with the value being what I paid for the house and they went with it so quickly that it as obvious that was already planned.

Just moved her about two months ago had an issue and had to go to the ER. I told my friend who works in The area for years I was told to avoid Emory Decatur at all possible?

I didn’t have an issue…. I’m having to go back but now I’m worried

I recently moved to the area & and am looking for recommendations on where to go for STI testing (preferably free as I do not have health insurance).

I tried looking up a few online & the reviews were kind of all over the place so I figured I’d check here. I live in the North Decatur area but willing to travel (within reason, of course).

Anyone know what’s filming at the Walmart on N Decatur and Scott?

Anyone know or heard of when this new Pilates studio will be opening on college? $150 a month isn’t terrible for unlimited membership.

Has anyone been to the buckhead location and could share their experience?

lol

🦄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. ☺️

I live in Tucker but that sub doesn’t see as much action as this one.

I need a carpet cleaning company to come out and clean one room. Anyone you’d recommend? Money is no object because a contractor is paying for it after getting the carpet wet with their equipment. Thanks!

Remember this postcard from the city about rebates for improvements in energy usage? It dropped sometime in June and in order to take advantage of it, you needed to email prior to any upgrades.

So I did. On June 22nd and basically every week since. Once I got an answer after email three to specify my project (which I had already done in email one). Then I got an answer from the city manager that he would look into it after I emailed Tony Power. And another he would look into it.

Over two months. 10 emails. No concrete answer. What is Decatur even doing? Wasting money on postcards? The city has always been slow to respond to citizen questions but this is ridiculous.

I recently graduated with a degree in ux design last December and it’s been tough finding a job in the field. I had an internship that just ended where I did some work related to UX but it’s not what I really want to do. Any tips from established UX/Product designers here in the city on what to do to land my first real role as a UX designer??

Was out with some friends on the square last night, and randomly heard there was a USL2 soccer team coming to Decatur. Can't find anything on the interwebs (besides the USL women's soccer team that plays at DHS)... Anyone know anything? I think this would be awesome!

Deonta David and Dmante Anderson are serving decades in Georgia prisons for crimes they didn't commit—and the corruption that put them there is staggering.
Deonta got life plus 85 years after being convicted by an 11-member jury (a structural defect requiring reversal under Georgia law). His judge, Stacey Hydrick, dismissed the court reporter before a hearing, denied him the right to Islamic prayer, and had posted online that there are "no innocent civilians in Gaza." The prosecution withheld a witness's felony record and introduced evidence without proper chain of custody. Deonta is now targeted for violence in prison because he's Muslim—in a system the DOJ found deliberately indifferent to such attacks.
Dmante was sentenced to 70 years after his ex-wife—the alleged victim—publicly stated she accidentally shot herself. The prosecutor intentionally provoked a mistrial, placed a biased witness on the stand, and assigned him an NAACP president as defense counsel who withdrew immediately after conviction.
I'm asking the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles to review and grant relief to both men, and for investigations into the prosecutors and judges involved. These aren't isolated cases—they're a pattern. If this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us. What would you want someone to do if this was your family? If this matters to you, consider signing and sharing the petition.

Hi all,

My husband and I are considering moving to The Willis Avondale Estates. Does anyone have any experience with this community (good or bad) or any information that might help us make the decision? We are looking to move in the next few months to a 2 bedroom apartment .

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I'm new to Decatur and wanted to know if there were any good hangout spots that people around my age (31) go to. Bonus if it's a bit alternative. Thanks!

Hi guys, making another post to ask for recommendations, but this time for barbers/salons.

I have been here almost a month and it’s about time to start looking for a barber, i’ve been getting my hair cut at a salon for the last two years. i honestly have no idea where to start looking here as there seems to be a ton of places.

i’m certain finding people who work with curly hair isn’t an issue here, just looking for recommendations for barbers or salons with good service and good haircuts. i cut my hair every month and a half or so because i like to keep it full, so im not super concerned with price.

i don’t really do fades anymore, usually just a low taper and a scissor cut on the sides to keep it all curly, attaching a couple of examples if you happen to know places that are better suited for that style.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! My husband and I just bought our first home and are thinking now might be a good time to start using a CPA instead of filing taxes ourselves. Would appreciate any recommendations for skilled and trusted CPAs local to the area.

Thanks!

Hello, I graduated college back in April and have been looking for a job ever since. I have a bachelor's in history, and I'm a hard worker with full availability. If anyone has any advice for anyone hiring in the area id really appreciate it.

Gfiber been out for almost 48 hours in decatur area. Does anyone know what happen ?

Hi there,

Is anyone able to point my bf and I in the direction of a better lawyer who is equipped to handle a complicated workers comp and now likely medical malpractice suit?

My partner had his dominant hand crushed in a hydraulic press in February, was driven 2 hours from his house to Grady where they operated. It’s been 6 months and in that time the workers comp insurance people and the doctors at Grady have made any sort of healing/forward progression very difficult. My bf enlisted the help of a large personal injury firm that has national commercials, because he never has had this sort of thing happen and it was getting impossible to get workers comp to approve things without a lawyer. However, recently the person he speaks to regularly (not the lawyer, a paralegal maybe) keeps pressuring him to accept a settlement of less than $50k from the workers comp situation when we are nowhere even CLOSE to him being able to go back to work..and he works with his hands.

He went for a 2nd opinion with a new doctor not associated with Grady after his last Grady appt had them saying he’d def need another surgery but unsure of when. He had to repeatedly ask Grady to refer him to another hand ortho - that doctor he saw today said that it looks like the bone is infected and he needs to see an infectious disease doc/his middle finger will prob need amputation, possibly ring finger too. The ring finger is also badly affected and they don’t know how bad infection is.

Now we have to once again play this game of call the lawyer, call Grady to get referrals, call the workers comp people to try and get his case switched over to a new doctor and hand PT entirely (I guess what happened today was just some evaluation so this new doctor he saw can’t prescribe any meds or order any imaging?? I don’t know we are truly confused). The workers comp “patient advocate” does nothing to advocate we don’t even think they’re a real nurse so we truly have, it seems, NO ONE in our corner to actually help us get him sufficient care.

At this point, it’s looking like he will be permanently disfigured and disabled from this and had they actively taken a damn interest in his hand, would’ve been able to notice months ago that it was infected and not healing. Hell, there is still an open HOLE in his middle finger that is now curled up and will not straighten…

We are unsure what to do but I don’t think this National law firm has enough time or care to really push for the things we need as this time wasting has likely cost him a finger now. Figured maybe someone local would be better. If anyone has any help or advice I’d appreciate it.

Would anyone be interested in free, organized 7v7 pickup soccer near Decatur / Clarkston on Sunday afternoons or evenings?

We’re considering separate sessions for teens and adults and are trying to gauge local interest. All skill levels would be welcome.
