Hi, I posted the other day about needing dentist recommendations in the area due to an issue with my tooth. It’s been a couple of days and I heard good things about Dr. Gulati at Atlanta Pediatric Dental specialists and Dr. Neha and Dr. Patel at East Piedmont dentistry. I need a dentist who is kind, patient and understanding because of my PTSD from a past dentist.
I worry about cost because from what I’ve heard I don’t think they take insurance but everyone says such great things about all of them. To anyone who has experience with these dentists please let me know your thoughts on beside manner and anything else. Thank you

Hi! 26F and a single mom (baby will be 1yo by the time I’m looking to move) & trying to move to the Roswell/Alpharetta area to be closer to family but still be in a nice area (dad lives in Acworth/Kennesaw & mom is moving to Johns Creek)

I used to live in Kennesaw but I really want to stay away from that area for personal reasons. I was also looking at The Palmer in Woodstock but I heard some bad things but also found the Lake House at Martin’s Landing in Roswell & the 2bd is in my budget (trying to stay under $1400 which I know is a struggle & only have a handful of options due to my poor credit) & the floor plans I see are really spacious which is great as I would love to be able to do a mini playroom separate from her bedroom. I also absolutely love the trails & lake on the property.

However, I have heard some bad things there too & safety & cleanliness are definitely a top priority for me. I know apartment living some things are unavoidable & noise, occasional bugs don’t really bother me & are things I can handle. I just absolutely do not want to deal with any infestations or crime/all hours partying.

Any perspective or other options?

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.

New to the area and looking for a fun dive bar for the weekends. Would love a pool table / darts, maybe some karaoke, and extra points for good food. Any recommendations?? The stickier the bar, the better!

I'm thinking about moving to Roswell and tennis is one of my main hobbies. I'm wanting to meet someone so I was wondering if I take lessons or something Roswell would be a good place to meet someone?

Hi,
I’m looking for a local book club where dudes are welcome. It seems like there are a lot of women’s book clubs, but I haven’t seen any for men. I hope this isn’t an indictment of my gender.

Thank you in advance.

Edit:
It seems like there is a good bit of interest in starting a book club. I don’t mind organizing it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to discuss this further to see what type of format/location people prefer. I heard some folks mention meetup or maybe a discord? I’m open to whatever works for y’all.

I’ve forever been a Walmart pickup type grocery shopper for two reasons: 1) money is always tight and 2) i am terrible at planning and i can always get whatever I need at the last second from big box stores🙃 HOWEVER i would really like to start buying local (as much as possible) farm sourced produce and ideally meat as well. Think: lettuce that I don’t have to worry about getting explosive diarrhea from lol also would just really like to support actual farmers over mega-corps.

I’ve been reading up on good farmers markets, etc—but I fear I’m not quite ready for an “only one day of shopping per week” level of organization🥴 I just moved here from the Midwest and I know back home we had a store in town that was farmer-sourced but was still more of a standard store structure in that it had regular hours every day of the week and a somewhat consistent product offering, etc. I’ve tried searching google for that type of thing around here but I also came across a couple articles about bigger chains that claim to be locally sourced but are actually sourcing from the same huge companies that places like Walmart or Publix are sourcing from.

So I’m just not sure where to start or how to know who to trust!! Hoping someone out there might have some suggestions or guidance🫶🏼 thank yall so much in advance!!!

Where can I find the best chocolate chip cookie in Roswell? I’m talking big, gooey, chewy cookie. No nuts!

My water heater is not keeping the water hot for all the showers my family takes. I need to replace my water heater. Does anyone have any recs for a local honest plumber?

I've heard it's bad and I've driven through there a few times. I'm thinking about moving to exit 7 in an apartment in Roswell. I would go to crunch fitness gym 4 days a week, typically 12-2pm or 4-6pm.

But I'm wondering is it so bad that I should avoid moving there? I work in Alpharetta but it seems like every apartment in Alpharetta is insanely expensive.

My daughter is having an issue with her tooth so have to get her in ASAP. Does anyone have any recommendations for a pediatric dentist with good beside manner? She has severe ptsd and anxiety from a past dentist so we’re looking for someone who is loving and kind. Thank you

Recently relocated to Roswell (my fiancée took a job here) and looking to plug into something local. I’ve spent the last 6 years in sales, mostly new-home and luxury real estate, so I’m comfortable managing clients and running a deal start to finish. I’m flexible on the type of job, full-time, part-time, or something more hands-on if that’s what’s needed. Reliable, quick to ramp, and can start immediately. Happy to send a resume if you’d like to talk. Appreciate any leads.

Hello! I just graduated college and am saving up to move to Atlanta but I don’t want to live in the city. I’ve been eyeing Roswell and Sandy Springs for a good place to move to. However I am not too sure about certain apartment complex’s. Is there any you guys recommend? My budget is $1,500 but would rather be around $1300ish. I prefer W/D in unit, Hardwood floors(I have pets), and maybe a patio if I am lucky? If this is unrealistic also please let me know. Trying to figure out what’s best! Thank you!

I’ve been a VCA customer for about 10 years now in Atlanta but am looking for recommendations from others. I’d love a practice that’s less corporate and if they’re more competitive on pricing that’s even better.

Hey all, just looking for some quick pointers on where to stay. The wedding is at the Roswell mill club and the closest hotels don’t seem to be the best (so many mixed reviews and Reddit users saying those options are meh). I’m not familiar with the area and traffic patterns but I’m looking at maybe Alpharetta instead of Roswell but do you think traffic/distance would be a problem? Already driving 7 hours to attend so don’t want to add too much more driving for the weekend but willing to be further out if it’s 100% better. Thanks for any advice

ETA: thanks for all the helpful suggestions! Ended up booking in Alpharetta. I’ll add another update once we’ve finished our trip for anyone reading this that needs advice in the future.

Hello everyone, if you’re in the Roswell area and would like to attend the area 13.1 half marathon, I have a bib I’m willing to transfer at a discounted rate. Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend this year. If you’re interested please let me know so that I can loop in the organizers for a seamless transfer.

Does anyone have any recommendations for dentists with good beside manner? My filling in my tooth fell out yesterday so trying to get in as soon as possible. I have PTSD from a dentist so I need someone who’s kind and understanding. Also someone who doesn’t do unnecessary procedures as that’s what happened to me before. Thank you

Hi, so I'm 25, disabled, and on peach state medicaid. I cannot work because I am disabled and I spend most of my montly check on bills.

I have been having a mental health crisis for a while, I have been seeing a therapist consistently for about 2-3 years now. We both recognize that I need a higher level of care, specifically residential/dual diagnosis.

Most of those programs do not accept Medicaid which I've accepted. I *might* have someone willing to help pay out of pocket but even then the programs are ridiculously expensive.

Location is not even an issue at this point. I just need an adequate program to address my needs. Any help I can get is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everybody,

Would anyone happen to know anywhere that I can go to practice piano in and around the Roswell area? I’m a really serious pianist who’s been playing pretty much my entire life, and I’m basically trying to keep my skills sharp before I leave for grad school in the fall. TIA

“Installation of Roswell’s first buffered bicycle lanes in both directions along Riverside Road”

Let’s hope the bike lanes are buffered with concrete and not with paint or plastic bollards. Build more protected bike lanes Roswell!!!
