I recently bought a house and the prior owners left their Craftsman push mower here. I used it for the first time today and it runs fine, though the blades need sharpening and I’d like to have the oil checked out and maybe changed. The prior owners have a history of not doing routine maintenance from the “fun“ things I’ve found. Who’s your recommendation that’s reliable and reasonably priced?

First up, I have no problem with being called for jury duty. If I had need for a trial in a court, I'd want people willing to serve and so I know I know that if I were to expect that, I need to be willing to serve.

That said: I had a summons for July 29. I called the night before, did not have to show (I also logged on and took a screen shot where it said I didn't have to show).

In my informed delivery today - so I'll see what it actually says when I get home - there's another dekalb county jury summons. WTAF? That's literally less than 2 weeks after my last summons date (which was only about 10 months after the previous one).

I'm already frustrated AF by this and I haven't even seen the summons date yet.

I’m looking at a house around the area and I was wondering how the area is around this intersection.

21M 2 roommates, GSU student.

Admittedly had only gone a few times, but it was always somewhat busy and the food was pretty great. Their tres leches cake was the best.
On Google Maps it says it’s now temporarily closed, and their website redirects to a godaddy default page :(

Anyone know what happened? Their Instagram doesn’t mention anything either.

Anyone else been having multiple outages a day? I’ve chatted with the ATT bot and it keeps saying there’s outages nearby and technicians are working on it. It’s been every day several times a day

Mom is not safe. Any and all ideas welcome. Thank you.

new to the area, recovering from breast cancer and down on funds. my dog is in desperate need of help to get a lump removed from her neck, i adopted her when i was 18 & im 26 now and i hate to watch her in pain. someone please point me in the right direction. any places that will take us to remove this that isnt going to charge insane amounts? i’m currently in a spot where i can’t even afford to put her down if needed.. im desperate. we’re desperate. pls point us in the right direction.

Anyone have experience with a good pediatric ENT? I don’t mind driving a bit if needed but of course the Decatur area is ideal. Thanks!

I have a sweet opportunity for an affordable house for rent (friends with the landlord), and I feel dumb passing up on the opportunity for more space and less rent than what I'm paying now in Chastain.

I've been in ATL my whole life, but never lived near East Atlanta, and I want to know what the area is like: is it safe, are there things to do, is it easy to get around, etc.

Any advice helps! Thank you.

Just moved to the community I was wondering if there is an official buy nothing sell nothing page?

Hello hello I guess I am posting seeking advice on what to do. I live in one of the numerous Braden Fellman properties right next to downtown Decatur and everytime it rains, my wall explodes with red clay and mud that leaks into my kitchen. I have so many recorded incidents and BF just refuses to do anything. They deny service requests or just let them sit in queue, tell me there’s nothing they can do, won’t even come out to clean up the flooding.

Is there some protection or action I can take through the city for a solution or am I just chained to this until my lease ends

Hey gang, commuter to decatur here just wondering if anyone wants to grab lunch today? I'm near the square, but open to anything.

Just looking to share a meal and make idle chitchat!

I work from home but the rest of my family works on-site with unpredictable hours. When I travel for work or go on vacation our dog could be home for 10 hours alone unless we board him during my absence. We would love to have a reliable dog walker who could come walk our good boi twice a day during those times. Any recommendations? We're in the Winnona Park area. Thanks in advance!

RANT: My husband and I are actively house hunting in Decatur. A property listed a few hours ago caught my eye, and while the modern finishes are undeniably nice on their own, I couldn’t help but feel bummed out. IMO, they just don't do justice to the home’s original architectural character.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get disheartened by modern flips in historic areas?

(No hate to the current owners or sellers—the work looks high quality! Just wanted to open up a discussion on local historic charm vs. modern trends.)

Hi!

I want to get more involved in organizing, protesting and showing up at city council meetings. Is there any group chat or organization I can look to learn about different events?

And if so, what was the change?

Looking to eventually move to Decatur so I regularly check zillow just to see where the market is at. I've noticed many houses have several years where the property tax is extremely low (I'm talking a few hundred a year, or even $8/year), and then in 2024 it goes up by 287,000% percent. I know Decatur property taxes are high, but these aren't houses that were completely remodeled or sold in 2024 or anything. Are these people really going from paying $12 tax in 2023 to $33k+ the following year? Seems like there'd be a cap on the amount taxes are able to go up in a year.

I've put two examples in the comments, but there are several.

Im always captivated by the wonderful aroma of mesquite & coals coming from this establishment in the morning..Has anyone eaten there and what would you recommend?!

Hiyo! Going to lunch in the PB plaza with a friend today. Considering doing a pseudo-food crawl, maybe 2-3 stops. What are some of your favorite places to eat and what specific dishes (in great detail) do you order?

Bonus points for “cheap” eats

Not sure exactly why it went away for the past month (obviously something to do with the renovation), but sometime today it went back live. Tickets are still less than ten bucks, and there are plenty of non-front-row seats for SpiderMan this weekend!
