The Southern Shmooze helps Atlanta homeowners find trusted contractors through their neighbors
cbsnews.comHi! We'll be traveling from Atlanta to Oaxaca Oct 25th-31st and just looking for whatever recommendations you have!
We're expecting to see some of the dia de los muertos activities but due to logistical reasons we have leave really early on the 31st. we found this biking tour which looks fun! it goes by Tule Tree. Otherwise here's a list a friend gave us for other activities if anyone has opinions on these? Garcias!
Santiago Apoala, Mercado Sánchez Pascuas, La Cosecha Organic Market, CANTINITA, Mercado 20 de Noviembre, Santiago Matatlán (mezcal tour?)
Would you recommend visiting for Día de Muertos a few days before it all starts?
Hi! Traveling from Atlanta with my wife. We’d love to experience this but it’s going to be difficult for us to make it during 10/31-11/2. Was thinking it would still be enjoyable to come down a few days prior to the official festivities beginning? Thanks for your help!
Atlanta entrepreneurs recycle 30,000 pounds of glass through Peace of Mind Recycling's doorstep pickup service [that's me!]
Hi y'all! our local news station was kind enough to do a piece on my company Peace of Mind Recycling so I thought y'all might appreciate it too 🥰♻️
My local news did a piece on my glass recycling efforts today! 30,000 lbs recycled so far!♻️🥰
Hiya! It's your neighborhood glass recycling guy. CBS News aired this piece on our recycling efforts this morning so just wanted to share 🙃♻️
Thanks to Katherine for doing the story on us! She was super kind and it was really thoughtful of her to reach out to help with our mission.
[Landlord US-GA] Hi! First time landlord here in ATL. Is there a website or something y'all like to use to fill out paperwork or collect rent and stuff like that for your tenants? or any advice in general I should know about?
I'm closing on my investment property on 8/5. I already have a tenant lined up (close family friend) so feeling pretty good about that. I'd like to use whatever y'all recommend to make sure I cover all normal landlording responsibilities (paperwork, monthly rent collection, etc).
I have a fairly good understanding of what my responsibilities are vs what they are responsible for but since I haven't done this before I'm sure I have a lot to learn. Thanks!!!

anyone have one for sale by chance? thanks!
One of my crew members did a kudzu cleanup today and found this abandoned house back there 🤣
Does anyone live in the West End or Westview adjacent areas and do you like it?
Looking at getting a house in this general area (maybe Mozley Park or Adair Park as well). Spent an hour driving around the areas yesterday and I thought it was quite nice! Some really cool houses with some character. Do yall like it too? 🙂
My roofing & gutter guy took a photo of our house with his drone and I loved the ATL background. Thought y'all might dig it too 🏙️
he was installing some leaf guards for our gutters (none of the trees are ours, go figure haha) and he snapped this pic. I never get to see the city from that angle so thought it was kinda fun!
I'm having my annual physical tomorrow but I'm thinking of joining Function in addition to that?
I heard about Function on the Huberman podcast. Seems like a pretty cool idea to do in additional to my annual physicals. Y'all like it or would you recommend something different? Thank you!!!
My wife grew this 13 footer sunflower in her garden and I thought it was worthy of a share 🌻🙂
I don’t know if that’s normal tall or tall tall but this was our first year growing sunflowers and this one took off! I was impressed so got her permission to share 🙂🙃
thoughts on the 1996 Mitsubishi pajero mini XR-II? I'm looking at buying it.
just got it checked out by my local shop and they said i'm looking at around 2K or so in minor-ish repairs. he said it's doable to source the parts but that would be on me. the car is listed for $7k so i'm thinking of asking $5K and go from there. this would just be my cruising vehicle in Atlanta so not doing anything crazy with it. my mechanic recommended going for it but obviously would love a second opinion incase anyone has thoughts on it! thanks!
here's the sellers description. they have all the paperwork for it.
1996 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini RHD
68k miles (109k km)
Pros
New battery
Mechanically sound and drives great
Cold A/C
Working heat
Garage Kept
Oil change every 3k mi
Cons
Needs front pads and rotors (loud squeals with cold brakes)
does anyone live in the Mechanicsville area and if so do you like it?
this area of town is only a mile or so from me but i'm rarely over there. I just enjoying biking through for the Streets Alive events but I barely know anything about it. do you think it could be an up and coming neighborhood kind of like what Summerhill did a decade or so ago?
First time seeing “Operation Clean Sweep.” Something new or am I just out of the loop?
Neighbor just spotted this in Grant Park. I’m intrigued enough to post about it incase anyone has any intel. I usually just call 311 to report illegal dumping but maybe this is something in addition to that 🤷♀️
hey it's me again! the mural request guy from a few weeks ago. I just got it painted by some lovely folks I met through r/atlanta so I wanted to give Chris & Courtney a shout out! 🥰🐸☔️
here's the previous post just incase anyone wanted context. a few redditors asked for a follow up photo so I wanted to share their amazing work 🙃 I'll post a follow up photo tonight when its gets a bit darker because I think it'll look extra fun with our backyard lights.
Chris and Courtney were incredibly kind and thoughtful and just extremely talented artists so I was thrilled when we got connected on here. They go by Foxyswine incase you'd like to give em a follow on the gram. 10/10 experience AND they worked with my budget so extra bonus points.
BTW I had a bunch of great DM's from other artists in the city and a ton of nice comments to go in that OG post so just wanted to extend my gratitude to those that reached out to me. I'm planning on doing more around my house soon so I might reach back out in due time!
Last thing I'll just say is while I'm grateful to be back on r/atlanta it can be challenging at times. Some of the comments on that original post were so negative that I didn't even bother coming back to check them after that first day. Almost just wanted to delete the post entirely. Criticizing my contractor. Criticizing me for being on a budget. Alas the good outweighed the bad (as it always does on here) and I'm beyond thrilled with the outcome. Only reason I'm even rehashing this is just to let anyone else who might be feeling anxious or apprehensive about posting in here is that while thick skin helps, I think the good eggs outweigh the bad so if you're a good egg, I appreciate you!

I started playing my electric organ a bit more. my son likes "playing" on it too 🤣
hey its me again! (grant from baby baby, challenger deep, better bloom). I started the most low key side project ever so just sharing my first track 🙃
no drums on this one! unless you count my electric organ as drums. I take little audio snapshots from my life and add them to my organ sounds. its really messy and all one one take so lots of stuff to improve upon but I'm having fun with it so thats all that matters 🙃
