I’ve tried looking it up on here and I’ve seen people say it’s the most efficient airport and I’ve also seen people say show up 4 hours before departure. Help me please lol
Side note: I’ve enjoyed my time here SO much this is such a beautiful city 🥹
I was born and raised in DeKalb (mostly Decatur area), moved back after college, and I’ve been going to the DeKalb Farmers Market for my entire life. I have many fond memories of dropping off presorted recycling there with my dad - back before the county offered curbside recycling - and grabbing food in the cafeteria afterward (RIP). I still visit regularly.
Everyone I know in the area just calls it “the farmers market” or if we need to be specific, “DeKalb farmers market.” But on Reddit I constantly see people referring to it as “YDFM.” The first few times I saw that acronym, I had no idea what people were talking about, lol.
So now I’m curious: is “YDFM” mostly a Reddit/internet thing, or do people actually say that in conversation? What do you call it in real life? Maybe it’s an area specific thing?
Hey ppl! Im a 22yo guy and im kinda losing hope. I currently work a job for $19 and hr and stay with my mom. I do help w bills and pay for my own expenses but, despite not having any “real” bills, I always feel strapped for cash. I want an actual long term job. One that at least allows me to be comfortable even if im still living with my mom. Does a job like this exist without needing a degree?
I don’t have anything against college but I just have very low hopes of paying off serious student loans(If i could afford it at all). Right now I do video editing on the side and lots of successful online people have said to me “being an editor is good because everyone is looking for one rn” but thats kinda just untrue. I basically work for pennies too. $40 for an entire heavily edited video, condensing a 4 hr stream. And yet, I get almost no work. I also have vehicle mechanic experience but ive come to terms that that’s not a lucrative career path (not that money is ALL i care about).
The part that kills me is I’m a genuinely hard worker and I’ll be fine doing ANY job whether i love or hate it but getting a job is impossible rn. Any advice or job recommendations or networking opportunities at all are greatly appreciated.
This is the second one in a week. Guy went up the barrier ramp and kept pushing. lol
Why is it that restaurants can serve booze at 11am Sunday’s but I can’t purchase it in a store until 1230?!?
It makes no sense to me.
Hi All,
Just moved to the Buckhead/Sandy Springs area from South Atlanta. I still have a ton of cardboard/moving boxes that I can’t just give away and my apartment complex has a trash chute that doesn’t take cardboard!
If you live up here, where do you go to get rid of your cardboard? Only thing I see is maybe the Emory Recycling Center that is 30 minutes away.
Any ideas welcome!
I have a temporary dental bridge that is scheduled to be replaced with a permanent one on Tuesday. Well, last night the fucker cracked and fell out of my mouth. I look like the bride of deliverance without it. I’m able to keep it in my mouth as long as I don’t eat or drink anything or breathe too hard or sneeze 😒
I searched the sub and the last recommendation was from two years ago so I wanted to check and see if anybody had any recommendations for an emergency dentist who could get me in like today or at the very least tomorrow morning (except I’m legit scared it’s gonna fall out in the middle of the night and I’m gonna swallow it. )
I called one place and had a appointment scheduled for 7 PM tonight, but they just called me back six hours after I made the appointment to tell me that they can’t just temporarily glue it back in they have to give me an entirely new bridge. I said no, bc it’s a multi hour process and I’m already getting a new one on Tuesday. I just need them to glue this in long enough to get to my appointment which will probably be tomorrow now because they’ll want to do it as quickly as possible.
Any recommendations are much appreciated so thank you in advance!
I'm very happy to see safety improvements along this corridor, but I was also a bit surprised at the number of trees that are being taken down without any plan for replacement. What do people think about this? Seems like it's going to be a lot more unpleasant to be walking around here with no shade trees. Is there any way to encourage the city to keep some more tree cover?
See in particular the segment on Monroe between Cooledge Avenue to Park Drive. I've uploaded a set of 3 images for 3 distinct locations along here: first image is the proposed new construction, second is the tree protection plan shown on the new construction plan (circles with x's = trees that will be removed), third is a google streetview looking north of what it looks like right now (image taken some time in the last 5 years).
The intersection at Park Drive is especially jarring. Obviously it's nice to have the traffic calming that comes with a roundabout, but there seem to be almost no new trees planned for this large area (except for the center island). Meanwhile trees of varying sizes and maturities around the current perimeter are being removed (I count ~30). Such a shame to lose the really big one on the Southwest corner!

I see that the VHCA has raised some concerns about tree cover with ATLDOT, but they seem to be mostly brushed aside.
Lived here a few years but was partnered the whole time and basically never went out, so I'm weirdly clueless about my own city's scene. Recently single and trying to find my footing.
For anyone who spent time in DC, is there an Atlanta version of JR's? For those who don't know it, it's a Dupont Circle bar with a laid-back, after-work energy. Professional guys in their late 30s and 40s stopping in straight from the office, cocktails, somewhere you can actually hear yourself talk and meet a more professional crowd (lawyers, office types). Upscale but not pretentious, if that makes sense. Polished but still easy to just walk in and talk to people. That's always been my speed. I'll still dance if there's a chill area to step away, but what I'm really after is that upscale cocktail/lounge vibe where the 35-50 crowd actually connects.
Woofs is great for the sports-bar side of me, but it's a different vibe than what I'm after here.
Where does that crowd land in Atlanta?
I ran the Peachtree road race 6 to 8 times in the late 90s and early 2000s. Does anyone remember personally seeing or hearing of a woman who woluld dance naked in one of the hotel room windows visible from the starting line of the race in Buckhead? Seemed to be happening yearly for about five years there, at least. I can’t say I ever saw it personally for sure, but I remember the stories. Can anyone corroborate?
I have never seen anything like this I'm honestly shocked I still have power
Anyone know where I can get this in a large? I’ve been looking for this everywhere and can’t find it.
Hey! Been trying to figure this out. I wasn’t able to get Ariana Grande tickets to any of her nights but I’ve seen online how people were able to get box office tickets the day of by showing up super early and lining up (for other locations). I called State Farm Arena the other day and they said they had completely sold out, but I was wondering whether anybody else has tried this before and whether their ticket availability is purely based on Ticketmaster? I thought that more tickets would open up the day of so they can’t tell whether everything will stay sold out but I’m not sure, this’ll be my first time attempting this sort of thing. I got parking on Spothero anyways because I am desperate lol
What's on your mind, Atlanta?

The design is great, the shirt’s material isn’t too bad (though I wish they’d go back to cotton shirts), but this YELLOW is awful.
To think on the 250th July 4th the base color wasn’t red, white, or blue but piss yellow is crazy. I know people get to vote on the color but honestly let’s stop that shit. The red shirt pairs with the orange design elements from last year’s shirt was also pretty bad, but this one makes it look much better.
I remember opening my bag at the end of the race and seeing bright yellow and really hoping it was a towel and not the peachtree t shirt.
What do yall think of the shirts??
(Sorry if you’ve already seen other people complain about it already lol)
My first time attending fireworks in Marietta Square. It was cute, but not super visible from the square. Easy enough to get in and out. Sharing photo because I liked how it turned out— fun movement and narrative.
A friend I was with asked a cop if there were any vendors selling water in the area and she offered to get him a water out of her car. He eventually agreed and she gave him a cold bottle of water. The world can be so shitty and cops especially can be super shitty but that was a wholesome encounter.
Just had to flee the stadium while watching the fireworks display in Avondale Estates because of suspected gunshots. Anybody else experience that? Anybody know if they were actually fireworks or gunshots?
I've never heard fireworks like this before ans I've lived here my whole life
