Just raw experiences

Me and my Fiancee are thinking about moving and out of the list of places we jotted down August GA is on the list. The main reasons being is more opportunity and also just wanting a new environment. We are in Columbus, ga, not much going on here. Also, we’d want to live in a nicer area in Augusta as we have one 8 year old child. Not necessarily like a “rich” neighborhood, we just don’t want to be in the ghetto, and a high crime area. Is Augusta worth a try, and what are some good areas?

Pickleball 🏓

Where are the best places to play pickleball for free? Wife and I played at Blanchard Park which was nice but looking for something closer to Grovetown. Someone said Goodale park has a court but it looks like only a tennis court?

Dog rescues CSRA

I have been taking care of a gentleman in Evans for two years that passed away a couple weeks ago. He had two dogs, one we found a home for. The other is a sweet pitbull mix. I love her and would keep her, but the same day the owner died, my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and I need to go care for him in Alabama. If anyone can give me some ideas on what to do. If I leave her the family will probably take her and dump her out. I had a woman want to foster her but she suddenly ghosted me. She is a beautiful pit mix maybe 45 lbs, that wears pearls. I just don’t know what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Active hobbies in CSRA for adult beginners?

Looking for something new to try and wanting to get more active. But I'm literally the least sporty person ever and a total beginner to active hobbies. So looking for suggestions for something to try in the CSRA that's low-stakes, maybe has an indoor option, non-judgemental, and maybe other young adults there.

Firework shrapnel

Has anyone had neighbors who shoot fireworks the blast shrapnel all across your yard? My house is by no means the Augusta Nationals but we have un burnt fireworks prices and plastic tubes in the front and back yards (I imagine every one in the neighborhood does from this one guy).

So far he’s been shooting them within the city noise ordinance limits, but I’m irritated about the shrapnel. My wife is worried he’s going to set a tree on fire.

My first move in these situations is normally to just go talk to them. However this neighbor has threatened with gusto the desire to shoot another neighbor “in self defense” for trespassing.

TLDR, strategies for unhinged and armed neighbor who follows the law but is making a mess in everyone’s yards.

Is anyone else's electric bill super high?

Typically during the summer, my electric bill is like 250$ (Georgia Power), and I get it running AC and a mini server. Nothing changed and my electric bill this month was 800$. Did I miss something or is everyone feeling this pain? My neighbor got hit with a 1K$ power bill and couldn't figure out why here's jumped so high as well

Does anyone know of anywhere in the CSRA (e.g., company, library, etc) that has a book scanner or who does book scanning? Looking to digitize a few yearbooks for historical purposes, but I don't want to ruin the binding by trying to use a traditional scanner.

Parking at/near SRP park

Hi everyone! I'm planning to attend my first-ever GreenJackets game on the 4th of July, and I'm really excited. I had a question about parking though.

I tried to pre-book parking when I bought my tickets, but the website kept saying it was unavailable. What's the parking situation usually like? Is there parking close to the stadium, or are there nearby lots where we could park and walk over? I'll be with my parents, so I'm hoping to keep the walk fairly short.

Also, how early would you recommend arriving for a 6:30 PM game, especially since it's on the 4th of July? I imagine it might be busier than usual.

Also, if anyone has any tips for a first-time visitor or anything specific to know about attending on Independence Day, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Affordable Housing

Struggling to find affordable housing/apartments that’s not filled with mold and roaches, in a safe area. I can’t spend more than $850 in rent. Auben Realty disqualified me from viewing any of their properties because I don’t make 3x the rent; I don’t know how to override and bypass it. Any suggestions? Private landlords?
