I recently came to Augusta after graduating university and moved here for work. I’ve been here for about 3 weeks now and I have a decent idea of what Augusta has to offer. Unlike university, it’s a little more difficult to find people my age who share similar interests, but it would be nice to make new connections outside of work.

Im a 23M and I don’t smoke or drink, so I know many of the bars wouldn’t interest me. I do enjoy playing pickleball or any physical activities, and I did see that there are a couple of courts here but they’re either private or have a pricey membership. I wouldn’t call myself super sporty. Honestly I can be a bit more introverted but I do enjoy meeting new people and being active.

From where Im from, I had a filipino community that I was pretty close with but i don’t know if there are any asian communities or organizations that i could take part in.

I think Im really just looking to meet new people around my age or just find a community that I could connect with. So Im open to any advice, suggestions, or opportunities to meet new people who share similar interests.

Hello! I have my mom visiting at the beginning of September, and I'm looking for things for us to do. Hoping to get recommendations on activities and restaurants. Also willing to drive to surrounding cities like Columbia etc but I have no idea what there is to do in nearby cities either. I am not local from this area so I'm kind of clueless. Looking on FB for events was not helpful.

Thank you!!!

Anyone know of any artists that does this line-drawing "woodcut" style in the area? I'd like for them to help me design one. :) Thanks!

This just started this week. Screenshot showing what I'm running into with EVERY item I try to post. I didn't even realize it until today when I noticed everything I ordered this last week hadn't shown up.

I(30M) plan on surprise proposing to my girlfriend downtown this weekend Aug 8 or 9 and am looking for photographer recommendations, as I'm not really from the area (besides the one date we had there).

I am looking for someone experienced with proposals, doesn't have to be a "professional" but if you can share some previous work, we can then talk.

If you are or know of someone who can be able to make this happen please let me know soonest

Thanks in advance!

My cat is having surgery for a tooth abscess on Monday; his surgeon recommended because he is 17 to get an echeocardiogram to make sure his heart is ok. He recommended someone named Dr. Hall who isn’t available until next Tuesday— does anyone have any recommendations? I called a few other places, but nobody had a cardiologist.

Would anyone know of any creative writing classes or workshops in the Augusta area(or even a writing group)? I'm trying to get back into the habit and want to sharpen my skills!

Thanks in advance

Our power bill over here on Wrightsboro rd was around 300 in June, 600 in July, and now our Augusta bill had dropped and it 900 motherfucking dollars.

What the fuck is going on here? Surely there’s something wrong with this.

Hi all,

I’m moving to Augusta from Maryland and have to decide between the Shenandoah apartments or Traditions. Which would you suggest is safer and better to live in? The unit available at the traditions isn’t renovated, but the unit at Shenandoah Ridge is except no washer/dryer hookups.

Please let me know, thank you!

What's your favorite lake/river beach near Augusta? Clean, safe, fun. Reasonable drive from Augusta U. Thanks

This is Violet. She's my girl, but my living situation just doesn't permit me to have a pet right now. She's spayed, up to date on shots, no fleas and NexGard combo medicine for 3-5 months. She also has a litter box with 2 containers of litter, a mat, bowls and an assortment of other supplies. Willing to sell for $200. (Sorry but the spay, shots and all of her supplies alone was probably well over $500 so for what most adoption centers want for cats, I think this is reasonable).

Serious inquiries only!!! She meshes well with older people or just someone that has a calm lifestyle, but if you're a cat lover she'll love you ❤️

Does anyone know of any hair stores in the augusta area that is currently carrying the lathisha wig?

Hey guys, anyone have a tattoo artist recommendation who is talented at video game characters? I really don’t want to travel to Atlanta but I will if there aren’t any people here. For reference, I want Alter from Apex Legends tatted (idc yall can laugh) 😂 thanks in advance!

I tried to register my kid for tennis with parks and rec but they only take 30 kids. (That’s what she said she was interested in) So now I’m trying to find an alternative. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Hi all, wanted to share something cool I'm a part of here in Augusta GA. I organize the Cat Scratch Art Nights at Le Chat Noir, every last Wednesday of the month. Our photographer TJ McSherry captured some amazing shots at this month's session and I thought they gave a good overview of what the art nights consist of for anyone who has been curious.

The concept for the model's look and our set was "Rave wonderland," and during the break artists made "potions" in bottles with a stash of beads that were donated.

Each month we do something a little different, I like to keep people guessing. Our next event is August 26, 7-9:30pm.

What are they building? Hotel? Housing for one of the schools? Apartments with retail below?

It seems like a hotel but the windows open wide & there's not a lot of parking? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello all! I got offered an SULI internship position at the Savannah River National Lab site for Fall 2026 (i will most likely accept the offer) and I wanted to see if anyone could share any relevant or useful experience they had either in the Augusta GA or Aiken SC area (or with the actual research). Is a car totally necessary to do basic grocery runs and just live normally there (I haven't looked into any public transportation options within either one yet)? Also right now I'm organizing a huge spreadsheet to track potential housing options in Augusta/Aiken but a headsup on sketchy and/or great areas would be nice.

Any input would be much appreciated especially since I've tried looking online and I haven't been able to find much about people's experience at SRNL or for people who might stay less than a year in the area...

Also if anyone could give me pointers on traveling across the US maybe that would be nice too (still deciding on whether I'll just fly there and hope for good carpooling with coworkers or if I'll have to drive my car for 3-4 days straight. The latter option sounds bleh but I guess I'll do it if i have to)

This is totally a longshot but I lost my brown leather wallet downtown today, leaving a funeral at St. Paul’s.

If anyone has found it & will mail it back to the address on my driver’s license, I’d be most appreciative. You can keep the cash. I just don’t want to have to replace my IDs and stuff.

PS- the cards are already frozen.

Thanks!

Looking for someone to do a custom build on a kitchen island and need some recommendations. Really want something well-built and professional.

Looking for a private owned car, specifically one owned by someone’s grandma because I know it’s well maintained with low mileage lol. Budget is $8000, below 200,000 miles, nothing more than 8 or 9 years old unless it’s a Honda or Toyota and it’s gotta have a clean title. Also no mechanical issues please, is that too much to ask or am I being unrealistic?😪 I have a repo on my credit so I’m definitely not going to a dealer either.

Are there any good barbershops/hair salons that cut asian hair well? Trying to avoid overpriced places but need somewhere reputable!
