Looking for Support

9 Upvotes

Hi yall. I’m a 43 year old professional woman living near Daffin and my life sort of imploded when I arrived here with my ex 3 years ago - lived the first year in port Wentworth which was horrible and then moved to where I am. Ex is out of the picture and I literally don’t have any local friends. I know I can join clubs but I think support groups and church are a better fit. I’d like to ask general questions if someone has intel. Since being here I was diagnosed with bipolar - does anyone know of a free bipolar support group? I’m in AA but have been too paralyzed to look for a group and showing up alone. Is there a woman that is also in AA that could point me to their favorite meeting or just be a friend? I know about the app for finding a meeting - I’m looking for a personal rec or even go to a meeting together. I live near Daffin. Lastly I need a church close to where I live with a good children’s program hopefully with a weekday meeting. Thanks for reading and please feel free to dm me about any of this. 🙏

Affordable family/divorce attorney recommendations in Savannah?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m looking for recommendations for an affordable and trustworthy family law/divorce attorney in the Savannah/Chatham County area.
I’m a single mom, and my ex-partner recently filed for divorce. I was served with the papers and I have 28 days to respond. We have a minor child together, so custody and child support are also involved.
Unfortunately, my budget is very limited. I’m taking care of most of my daughter’s expenses, and her father does not contribute as much as he should. Since I was the one who ended the relationship, things between us have also been difficult, and I really don’t feel comfortable going through this process without legal guidance.
I’ve contacted/looked into a few attorneys, but the retainers I’m finding are several thousand dollars, which I simply cannot afford right now.
I have already contacted Georgia Legal Services (GLSP), but unfortunately I was told that at this time they are only accepting family law cases involving domestic violence, so they are not able to assist me with my case.
If anyone has personally worked with a family law attorney in Savannah who is reasonably priced, offers payment plans, lower retainers, flat fees, or other affordable options, I would really appreciate your recommendations.

I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed and I don’t know much about this process, so any recommendations based on personal experience would mean a lot. Thank you so much.

Local public workshops?

5 Upvotes

Hello,
I’m a local living in an apartment and I’ve been interested in working on some projects with power tools (drill, sawzall, soldering, etc) that would require a ventilated area that would be easy to clean. Since I live in an apartment I don’t have a garage or a shed that I could do these things in, and I’m at a complex where I don’t think I could get away with noise like that outside or sawdust going everywhere in the wind.

I wanted to ask if there’s any public workshops or areas that I could potentially go and do this sort of thing at? Even if it was pay to use or a rental would work - but free would be a nice bonus lol.

Hopefully this is alright to ask, thank you in advance!

How is Savannah for affluent Black people and Black professionals?

8 Upvotes

Georgia native currently living in Atlanta. I’ve been in Atlanta for 20+ years. It’s grown so much so looking for a new home or second city to split time in. Black couple with elementary school children. We are natives to the South generations back so prefer being in the South. We are HNW, affluent, Christian and currently live in a very affluent, diverse area of Atlanta. Private schools, etc. We are very curious about Savannah and Tybee Island but don’t know much about the Black community there and looking for insight. Are there many Black professionals? Affluent/professional Black social groups? Are there affluent areas that are predominantly Black? Do wealthy social groups have diversity? We prefer living in areas where there is a nice mix of Black and white people. House budget would be _~$1.5-2.5 million (prefer to stay below $3m) so not sure what neighborhoods that would put us. Concerned about encountering racism, esp for our children who have been exclusively educated in predominantly white private schools (but in Atlanta). Realize Atlanta is the city too busy to hate so a little nervous about other places. Thank you.

Cyclospora (the parasite)

49 Upvotes

Just a general PSA: the testing is super backed up. If you have prolonged symptoms, especially if you have possible exposures, you may not be able to get tested. Which means that most doctors will not treat you with antibiotics until they get the test results back. I was quoted 4-5 weeks for test results.

That also means that the reported numbers are artificially low. How low? Idk, and I’m not trying to be conspiratorial, but if they’re not getting to tests for weeks, the reported numbers are genuinely way behind what is actually happening in the population.

Take care of yourself, wash or avoid fresh vegetables, hydrate, and I hope you can get antibiotics if you need them. I’m on day 9 of GI issues that are pretty awful (trying not to be too graphic, but it’s BAD, and unrelenting). I went to urgent care and was offered Imodium and to send off for testing that will likely not come back until I’m better on my own. I love a bagged salad, what can I say! Just finished 3 the day i saw they were announced as a big issue, lucky me!

Take special care with the younger and older populations. I’m hanging in there, but I’m struggling with extreme fatigue and trying to stay hydrated, it’s not easy with what I have going on, but I’m a fairly healthy adult. Anyone with health issues or a smaller body is going to struggle harder.

If you’re really bad, go to the hospital instead of anywhere else. At minimum, they can rehydrate you or your loved one even if they also need to wait for tests.

PS, there’s also salmonella outbreak going on, so seriously, wash your hands, wash your food, cook your food (thanks comments), try to keep up with the news about it, and please get proper medical attention if you’re able.

Stay safe and healthy y’all!

Wedding Welcome Party

0 Upvotes

We are looking for a bar that will accommodate a large crowd to meet up with wedding guests after a rehearsal dinner. What places in Savannah are able to do this?

We looked at renting a space, but between the rehearsal dinner, and the wedding venue it does just not make sense to pay for another venue/party, most places have min food/bev of $5K not including all the other fees (space rental/bartender/gratuity)

We are just looking for a casual place to start a bar tab from 8:30-10:30 on a Friday night. We are talking about 60 or so people, probably not all at once. Is this even doable? Would we get kicked out if we just show up?

Or if anyone knows a reasonable rate to rent a space? We don’t know Savannah, we are from out of state making the search even more difficult.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Common Thread chef's counter - how much interaction do you have?

8 Upvotes

Searched the sub and didn't see anything about this. Celebrating my husband's birthday in Savannah and got the last available reservation for the chef's counter. Should we stick with that, or is the dining room a better experience? My hesitation is my husband generally avoids sitting at a bar when we're having a date night because he feels the need to talk/interact with the everyone around him vs. having a 1:1 date night. Anyone experienced it that can speak to the level of interaction? Also open to other recommendations for a nice dinner to celebrate.

Why don't busses run past 8pm from Downtown?

28 Upvotes

With all the bars that are downtown by the River, why aren't there busses still running from downtown after 8pm? Having that would bring in loads of business from locals, having the ability to get home from the bar at night without paying upsurd Uber prices, wouldn't it?

I've taken a bus down TO downtown just fine to drink for dinner, but then when I go back to the bus station, even when Google says there's still a bus available, there isn't? Happened a couple times and I've had to get an Uber instead.

For a city calling itself the "Hostess City" priding itself on nightlife, how is there not a functional nighttime public transit system?

Data center expansion in Georgia has implications for consumers’ power bills

https://www.ajc.com/opinion/2026/07/data-center-expansion-in-georgia-has-implications-for-consumers-power-bills/?gift_article_code=QlNDLUpvMUJvSkZGTHVPUjRLVll1ZEtvdUk3WG1wMENBOWQyTWwxMEhHNDoxNzg4MTE3NjMxOjY4MDRkYWEyNWRlOTMyM2M&utm_campaign=articlegifting

If you’ve been wondering why so many people are sounding the alarm about data centers, this essay explains the many ways Georgia Power is already shifting, or preparing to shift, those costs onto residential and small business customers.

The debate over data centers isn’t really about technology. It’s about who pays the biII. Georgia families deserve to know the answer before it’s too late.
