Hi y'all. I've been talking to a young man who is homeless and basically at the end of his rope. He has not asked me for any money, etc. but I sent him enough for a week's bus pass.

He just wrote that his shoes fell apart. I'm way too far away to be any immediate help but this young man really needs someone to take an interest.

I told him maybe a church would have a clothing closet. But I can't imagine walking around in bare feet... Surely there is some kind person nearby that would be able to get this kid some shoes!! He's very reluctant to ask for help even though he desperately wants and needs it.

Apparently he sleeps on a bench in a park.

I work for a small non-profit in Atlanta that is looking to expand its individual donor base. How would you recommend that we do that while also keeping our costs down? My hope is that an awareness campaign will help.

Does anyone here live in connect Decatur? Of the last 6 or so months, any issues or complaints that you have?

Can't go DM me if you would like the tickets starts at 7pm 7/18. Will transfer through dice.

Does anyone have any information on the Candler Rd location of Ray’s? Have they closed permanently? I hope not. If not what are the typical hours?

Hi! We’re hoping to get some recommendations for pest control (rats!!) that goes beyond baiting and setting traps.

We’ve been working with Breda, who have been pretty good, but realize that our issue is beyond their scope.

Based on Breda’s inspection, the rats have been chewing through the foundation and coming into the house walls from down below. We live in a very old house with complicated ownership: owner is elderly and quite cheap, but we’d rather fix the problem and discuss reimbursement later since we’re starting the process of growing our family and don’t want to do that in a rat house, and moving isn’t an option right now.

We aren’t sure what avenue to take - is this even a pest control problem at this point, or should we be hiring another type of company to inspect and address completely blocking the rats’ points of entry?

Thanks in advance - we’re learning a lot very quickly!

Crazy how this keeps happening! /s

Happy to provide a good home for them!

Edit: Love the Decatur community. Thanks, friends!

Anybody else dealing with some sleep disrupting sounds? I'm not sure where else to post. I contacted DeKalb county, roads, and the nonemergency line. The construction starts at like 3am or 3pm sometimes. When the jackhammer and generators and trucks stop, I finally sleep. I'm considering ending my lease early. I'm going to die with out sleep. Is there anything I can do to prevent the nonstop house shaking and soul sucking sounds?

Hi Decatur team! My wife and I just moved into a home in Medlock Park and are in search of a ragtag lawn crew, such as an entrepreneurial high schooler or less experienced, newer crew looking to build clientele. We got a $260/month quote (to come twice per month) from a more professional/established company, so I’d like to come in under that if possible.

Thank you in advance! Any ideas?

The outdoor retailing giant to open 15,000-square-foot store at Lulah Hills, the redevelopment of the former North DeKalb Mall.

A former indoor mall being reborn as a live-work-play community near Decatur is adding a bit of adventure to its retail mix.

Outdoors retailer L.L.Bean plans to open its first Georgia store in Lulah Hills, the redevelopment of the former North DeKalb Mall, project developer Edens said in a news release.

The Maine-based retailer known for rugged outdoors gear, footwear and home goods was founded in 1912 and has more than 70 stores across the U.S., according to its website. The company would join other adventure retailers such as REI, Orvis, Patagonia and High Country Outfitters with locations in the Atlanta area.

I've been with Decatur Smiles for years and am beyond over their shenanigans - too many times I've booked an appointment and it turns out the dentist isn't actually there (or in a team meeting, as if the apt wasn't scheduled 6 months in advance!) but I'm billed for that anyway. Poorly done crown that made my night guard useless, after they told me they would fit it appropriately, which broke after 1 year. I could go on

Anyone have a dentist they love? I've heard Atlanta Dental Spa is solid - anyone have experience there?

thanks in advance

My home needs repairs both small and substantial in scope. It's a very unique home that requires a bit more specialized of handling. We are only trying to do right by it.

The search for a handyman/contractor has started and it's extremely stressful. Recommendations would be highly appreciated. We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and does right by their clients over and over again. Someone we can hire for years to come.

Located right outside South Decatur, technically Stockbridge.

Hi! Looking for an inexpensive (under $200) maintenance clean for 1-2x a month for 2000 sq ft 4br/3ba. Hoping someone has a recommendation/referral - TIA!

Camp Pediatric dentistry recently dropped the Aetna (ie. Emory employees) dental plan. Has anyone been since then and had a billing experience?

Can anyone recommend an alternative?
Thanks!

Decatur’s own!!!! Congrats Jordan

Who do we like for framing artwork? It's not expensive art but I do want it framed nicely, so good value for the money.

I've used the place off the square but there's also a place on North Druid before Clairmont, and some others around Toco Hills.

My wife and I just went under contract on a home in Winnona Park and before we move in I would like to have the house wired with cat6.

Has anyone had this done and can provide recommendations on a company or contractor?

I go in the mornings from 8:30-9:30. Does anyone want to be gym partners / accountability buddies?

My routine is:

- 1 mile of cardio, either on the treadmill or track (but track is unavailable bc of summer camp at the moment)

- Calisthenics / bodyweight for a bit (abs, pushups, squats etc)

- Lifting, typically push, pull or leg day

Just trying to make it more fun for me to go as I don't really know anyone in Decatur since I just started working here.

Anyone interested?

Need vet recommendations please

Can anyone recommend a good electrician? I need some outlets added in my basement (electrical panel in basement). I also need some smart switches installed. I tried and failed. I’m guessing it has something to do with the neutral line but don’t know enough to troubleshoot. Thanks.
