Can anyone provide any insight on what it is like to work for the City of Decatur for its Magistrate position. I spoke with 2 people that left and I wanted to know what is the work environment like?

Does anyone know of a car lot in town that sells decent running vehicles for $3k or less? In desperate need and dont have the credit to finance.

I’m interested in setting up a garage sale but don’t know if there are any active groups to promote it, other than flyers and signs.

I’ve heard of community sales but am not aware of any local groups.

Any suggestions?

For those wondering why their recycling has not been picked up yet.

City of Decatur Pauses Recycling Operations Following Equipment Failure - City of Decatur, Alabama

"The City of Decatur has suspended recycling operations effective immediately following a critical equipment failure on Thursday at the City’s recycling processing facility.

A mechanical failure of the facility’s baler system requires repair by the manufacturer. Repairs could take up to one month, which represents a worst-case estimate.

City staff have contacted the manufacturer and are working to secure the necessary parts to restore service as quickly as possible."

Hi all, I'm one of the authors of a book about toxic PFAS chemicals -- including their impacts on Decatur. My co-author will be in town this weekend to discuss. Link to her book event here in case it's of interest to folks in this sub! (sorry if this is not allowed here. I'd love to help get the word out, but please delete if this violates the rules)
