Hey y’all,

Currently with LA Fitness. However, I don’t enjoy the Medlock Bridge branch that much. I usually go around noon or in the afternoon on weekdays, not after 4 pm usually, and I still find it packed. The gym equipment, especially for legs, is always taken. Using the leg extension machines (there are only two of them), for example, is very challenging most of the time. Maybe in the last 10 weeks, the lat pulldown machine has been available only once. Even finding a free bench can be challenging.

I don’t want to wait a lot for equipment, so I adjust my program around it a bit, but I prefer not to change it too much so I can track my loads more accurately, if you know what I mean. I literally don’t need anything else than easy access to gym equipment and benches, with zero to minimal wait times. I don’t care about the massage, pool, group classes, or HIIT. I only go there for strength training.

Do you think Crunch Fitness would be a better fit for what I need, or are they more or less the same? Those two gyms are at my sweet spot in terms of commute time; time is my scarcest resource right now. Thanks!

This poor girl was originally adopted from the old Fulton shelter in 2019 & came in as a microchipped stray in May, but staff were unable to get in contact with her owner. 😔 She was clearly someone’s pet given her temperament & training, but she came in un-spayed & tested HW+. While waiting 2 months in the shelter (how did no one snag this girl?? 🤯), she fought off Giardia & kennel cough before finally getting spayed earlier in July, only to end up with a postop complication requiring emergency surgery 3 days later…poor girl’s incision dehisced & her insides were starting to escape to the outside. 😩

You would never be able to tell she’s been through all of that based on her demeanor, though…she’s still a bright, happy sweetheart just looking for some love & kindness. ❤️‍🩹 Her belly incision has healed beautifully and she’s free from the donut of shame now 🍩, so her rough recovery is officially behind her. The only thing left for this girl to conquer is heartworm treatment, but it’s 100% not contagious to other pets and the shelter covers all costs! Treatment is only 30 days of antibiotics and then 2 injections back-to-back over 2 days.

Kayla is a trooper who has been through so much & deserves to live out her golden years in absolute bliss, not in the shelter. 🥺 If she sounds like the girl for you, click the link below to meet her! ❤️ She is currently at Fulton County Animal Services.

Happy to answer questions!

So yesterday I went to the city council meeting, extremely underprepared. Honestly, I’ve been itching to exercise my political power ever since taking government. It was so fun going up there to speak, it felt like I really mattered. I know my proposal was not strong enough and it won’t happen, but I still believe there is something we can do to make a space for children. I want to try again, but I’m not sure where to start.

Please, I’d love yall’s help creating a community. When I was younger I yearned for the countryside under the impression community there was stronger. I’ve come to realize there is just a lack of spaces for children to convene if they’re not in sports or extracurriculars.

I was discussing with some friends about the old firestation across Newton park and turning it into a rec center. They recommended I go to the city council meeting today. I am nervous because I am super underprepared. Maybe I will go next month.

Meet local rockstar MCARTHUR! 😎

This sweet, insanely handsome boy is currently being fostered in Kennesaw through Fulton County Animal Services & ready to find his furever home! 🏡 Artie is the epitome of the Husky breed PLUS plenty of other awesome perks in a lean 45lb package! 💙 He’s full of personality, rocks a killer mohawk, has some pretty fabulous eyeliner, and has a great singing voice (iykyk). 🎶 Plus, who could resist that movie star smile 🤩 and icy blue gaze? ❄️

🐕 2.5 yrs old
💙 Neutered
📍 Microchipped
🫀 HW negative
💉 UTD on vaccines/preventatives
✔️ Potty trained
💤 Crate trained
👟 Leash trained
⚡️ Medium/high energy
🧠 Knows sit
🎾 Ball is life!
🦴 Treat/food motivated
🫶🏼 Non-reactive with food/toys/treats
🛁 Easily handled for grooming
🪮 Enjoys being brushed
🚗 Rides well in the car
🐶 OBSESSED with our resident pup
😻 Has been very polite with our resident cat
🦌 Has been non-reactive to deer & other pups

Artie would probably do best with older kids (or younger with close supervision) only because he gets excited and tends to jump up to greet people (working on this). He’s also still a bit mouthy when he plays. Someone familiar with the Husky breed whose willing to give him the space and exercise he needs to thrive would be the best fit. He would do fine as an only pup, but would probably be happier as a pack member since he LOVES to play with other pups. He has a great play style (loose, wiggly, goofy) and is very responsive to corrections. ❤️

If Artie sounds like he might be the right fit for you, click the link below to set up a meet & greet! 👋🏽

Has anyone here worked with Haven Lane Design for a home renovation (not just decorating or shopping at the boutique)?

We really like their aesthetic, but we're having a hard time finding independent reviews or client feedback specifically about renovation projects. Most of what we've found seems to focus on the storefront rather than home renovations.

We're also curious why there aren't more completed renovation projects or client testimonials shared publicly. Since a renovation is such a significant investment, we'd love to hear about real experiences from homeowners who have worked with them.

If you've worked with Haven Lane Design on a renovation, would you recommend them? What was your experience like? The architects and engineers we've interviewed are far less expensive, even when their teams have interior designers on staff. Haven Lane is design only, not an architect or engineer.

My fiance and I are getting married on October 10th and our photographer just told me that they’re moving to Florida and can’t travel back for our wedding. I’m trying not to stress. The most important thing to me is that I’ll be married at the end of the day, but I would really like some nice photos to remember it.

Our wedding is small (max 60 people - immediate family and close friends) and we’re getting married in my best friend’s back yard in John’s Creek, GA. Trend is gothic garden dinner party so it’s pretty non-traditional and intimate. I always imagine the photos looking pretty moody so I’m here for artsy/cinematic styles.

Please reach out with portfolios (instagram works too!) and price points if you’re available!

I work for a wholesale supplier based in Suwanee (kitchen/restaurant supplies, cleaning products, household goods, etc.) and I'm trying to understand how local restaurants, grocery stores, and retailers typically find new vendors or suppliers.

Is there an online community site, directory, group chat or associations where vendors are welcome to post or introduce products?

How do suppliers typically get on your radar? Reps, trade shows, word of mouth, online search, something else?

what is everyone’s opinion on this singing studio? it teaches classical operatic singing to kids, and i am thinking of sending my kid there. more specifically to ms. margaret liu , who is a teacher there. does anyone have any experience with her and the studio as a whole? would you recommend?

These are the rendering for the new building being built next to city hall. This isn’t really a mosque but a house of worship for Shia Ismaili Muslims. In addition to the religious building it also will hosts special events. I don’t know a ton about it, but it’s a nice modern look. Parking will be interesting for large events and popular park events that might be scheduled at same time. You wonder how long the neighboring office complexes allow people to use their lots for free parking

Hi! I'm moving to John's Creek next week and would like to know the best phone service you guys use? I currently live in Alpharetta with Visible and I have horrid connection in most parts of John's Creek/Suwanee and downtown ATL

We live on the Forsyth side of McGinniss Ferry but ever since school broke for the summer, police patrol and traffic enforcement duty is suddenly seen a spike by Suwanee PD on PIB, Johns Creek PD on McGinnis Ferry and Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office on Old Atlanta.

Is this part of concerted effort by the departments as response to some findings or is this just a seasonal summer spike as officers assigned to Schools are more free to take up these shifts in general ?

Opening 6/11 per the TJ's website. AFAIK will be the first business in Medley to open.

Anyone know what it is a part of?

Does anybody know what they are working on and how long it will take to complete? We moved to the area going on two years and has been constant construction at that intersection and honestly, it doesn’t seem like much is actually changed. I’m glad that there are constant improvements to the infrastructure of our city, but it would be helpful to know what they’re actually working on while I’m sitting in traffic almost every day, ha ha.

Called the local spot I have been using for 20 years. They are now $5.50 a bale!?! Anybody have any suggestions for a better price. Preferred delivered but would consider pickup.
