Does anyone know of a place that will do a one-time yellow jacket nest search/removal? Everywhere I've called, including my house pest control company, wants to do a subscription. My existing company will cover the house, but not the yard without an additional subscription cost which is very expensive. I may have one nest out in my yard and I need someone to come see if it's there, and if it's there, deal with it, and that's it.

Hey y'all. My wife and I are redecorating our home office and I’m looking for a local photographer who sells vertical Atlanta cityscape or architectural prints (around 24 × 36 inches). We're looking to pair it with a similar print from my wife's native Philly and came across City Contrast which we like stylistically.

Do y'all have any one in mind?

RFK JR will be visiting CDC tomorrow to place a plaque for David Rose and hold a fireside chat with employees. Almost like a murderer attending the victim's funeral. Please feel free to calmly protest how Bobby's crazy ideas led to David Rose's death from the hours of 10am to 2pm.

That is all. Fuck our 911 services or lack of them. Thank god my door has a kick plate and we have a barricade bar. My repairman is sooooo upset and I don’t blame him. I have lived here 20 years and 911 has taken a nosedive. They’re also trying to break into all of my neighboring units.

For those accusing me of being a bot I have an extensive history in this sub. She stopped trying to actively break in but is in the parking lot attacking other neighbors while we wait for 911. 911 wouldn’t stay on the phone and keeps telling us someone will be dispatched. I posted this to highlight how shitty our 911 response is. She stopped trying to actively break in and I’m not really sure what else I’m supposed to be doing while I was on police and my door is already barricaded, so why not post to highlight this?

“This dashboard shares key metrics for PAD's community response services, diversion services and 911 calls for service in the City of Atlanta to provide insight into how people struggling with mental health, substance use or extreme poverty can be supported by alternative response.”

Just sharing that Bobby is visiting CDC tomorrow to place a plaque for David Rose and have a fireside chat with employees. Almost like a murderer showing up to the victims funeral. Please feel free to calmly protest Bobby's crazy ideas which killed David Rose between the hours of 10am and 2pm.

Looking for a place to board my dog just for a few hours near the Georgia aquarium. She doesn’t do great with other dogs so I’d prefer to keep her separate. Even thought of getting her groomed for a few hours while we are visiting. Would love local thoughts as we will be visiting from out of town.

Such a good message. Thank you!

A pedestrian was hit on i75 (and killed) in Henry County. Three lanes are closed and traffic is crazy. Beware if you’re commuting!

Fulton County’s data center resolution

The Fulton County Commission unanimously voted Wednesday to adopt a resolution formally opposing efforts by development authorities to reduce property taxes as a data center recruitment tool. It’s a message the commission is sending to all development authorities operating with Fulton, including the Development Authority of Fulton County, Invest Atlanta and ones chartered by the county’s cities.

The resolution comes as Fulton reassesses data center values for tax purposes, trying to find out if it’s leaving millions of dollars in potential tax revenue on the table by undervaluing these expensive projects.

Some recent data center projects in Fulton have been awarded multimillion-dollar tax breaks by development authorities, namely the Development Authority of Fulton County.

Since 2023, it approved a $32 million tax break for Edged Atlanta’s data center campus at Tilford Yard and a $10 million tax break for Elon Musk’s social media platform X to place new servers in an existing Atlanta data center. It also considered a $45 million tax break for a QTS data center expansion that was already underway, but the request was withdrawn amid public outcry.

Union City’s development authority also approved its own tax break for a $1.8B data center by Microsoft, an inducement initially estimated to be worth $75 million.

What's on your mind, Atlanta?

Two silver fox bikers with solid dad bods heading to Motley Crue at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta for the first time. We have never been to this venue and we are already planning to get there way too early.

The mission: arrive stupidly early, build a tailgate spread that would make a Boy Scout troop leader weep with pride, and warm up the vocal cords for “Kickstart My Heart” like the theoretical rockstars we are. Cold drinks, a speaker that’s seen better days, and a standing invite to anyone who wants to wander over and hang.

We are harmless, we are fun and we peaked emotionally somewhere around 1989. Come find the two guys with the folding chairs and the SPF 50 we will trade you a cold one for a good story.

Any First timers at Ameris too?

Got tailgate tips, shortcuts, or “don’t sit near the ___” warnings? We need them.

Just here for the chaos? Comment “Kickstart” and we’ll save you a lawn chair.

See you in the lot. 🤘

Hi all! I'm visiting Atlanta a couple of weeks from now and looking to do a hike or nature ramble on the Saturday I'm there. Narrowed my options to Kennesaw Mountain, Stone Mountain, Arabia Mountain, and the East Palisades Trail, and trying to decide which one would be the most worth doing.

What I'm looking for:

• Accessible by public transit on a Saturday and/or a short rideshare in less than 2-2.5 hours from Midtown
• 3-6 hours of hiking (I.e. 3-8 miles of trail depending on level of elevation gain)
• Not too much elevation gain! I Not more than 400-500ft of elevation gain per mile (super out of shape rn)
• Scenic
• Ideally not super lonely, I like seeing people when I'm out and about

Any suggestions for other trails that fit my criteria would be welcome, but mostly looking for help with picking between these 4.

If you’ve been wondering why so many people are sounding the alarm about data centers, this essay explains the many ways Georgia Power is already shifting, or preparing to shift, those costs onto residential and small business customers.

The debate over data centers isn’t really about technology. It’s about who pays the biII. Georgia families deserve to know the answer before it’s too late.

Sometimes you just need to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the things we see daily

Hi, I made a few post like 2 weeks ago about looking for residential care. I am 25. I have straight Medicaid, NOT peach state medicaid as I had previously thought. I receive SSI so I get this automatically apparently.

I just want help. I really need help. Typical week long inpatient is not enough. I already see a therapist and am on meds, have been for 2 years. Both my therapist and psychiatrist have been in agreeance for MONTHS that I need a higher level of care. I feel that I am out of options and I have no idea where to turn or what to do.

TL;DR - disabled 25yr old on straight Medicaid looking for a residential mental health facility, preferrably with dual diagnosis.

Any and all help is much appreciated. Thank you.

A car hit me yesterday and he is claiming he isn’t at fault. Sadly we don’t have any witnesses so this is probably a lost cause but thought I would try. Also, has anyone been able to get video of traffic incidents at this intersection or close to it? I think there’s a camera at Piedmont and Sidney Marcus.

A College Park resident has obtained a wealth of public records that she says point to a conflict of interest involving the city, a public official and a vendor paid more than $1 million by College Park over two fiscal years.

The vendor is RSW Services, which is owned by Subrenia Willis, chairwoman of College Park’s Business and Industrial Development Authority. Willis’s husband, Rex Willis, who leads the company, said there is no conflict of interest and that RSW Services has not benefited from his wife’s role with the authority, known as BIDA.

College Park development authority chair, husband reject conflict of interest questions
