Primary Final!

Primary Final!

I and our team “Postell for the people” are proud and honored to have every single vote as you see!

For there not to be a candidate in over 22 years on the democratic ballots for most of North West Georgia, let alone Whitfield County.

No candidates to hear the anguish and despair from PFAS, building of AI Super Centers and the much needed Immigration Reform until now!

I’m glad we get to allow ya’ll to vote for your concerns and future beliefs! This is just the beginning and everything to come from here on out will be for the betterment of District 4!

Clean Water, Clean Reform and Clean Politics!

Any indoor places to take my toddlers to that’s open after 5pm?

I can even go up to Ringgold if there’s any great places up there!

Where can a group play board games?

Hi! Looking for recommendations on where a group of 6 can set up and play some board games for a couple of hours. We can get a bit loud, so somewhere that volume wouldn’t be a huge issue is a must. We’d plan on purchasing food/drink from the establishment of course.

POSTELL FOR PRIDE 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

For too long politicians have use the LGBTQIA2S+ community as talking points but never really stood behind the community and USED their platform for their voices to be heard.

That ends today. I and my team “PostellforthePeople” OPENLY AND PROUDLY endorse, advocate and LOVE this community. From my sisters to my cousins, from your friends to your neighbors PRIDE is more then about orientation it’s about acceptance and TRULY loving who you are and being comfortable in YOUR SKIN no matter the color.

To the young child, who thought about taking their life last night only to put it off today to wake up and see this post. I want to say thank you for waiting a day for this to be out there for you to see. Thank you for waiting for someone or something to advocate for you and thank you for living to see this post and fighting another day.

This is for you and the ones that came before you and the ones that come after you who have never been seen and heard, but have traversed almost insurmountable change for the community.

This campaign will bring honored to this community and REPRESENTATION. I as a heteronormative male will NEVER understand the challenges yall face. All I can do is use my platform and my political run to advocate for your existence and equality.

Thank you Jasa Joseph for champion the first EVER Pride Sign in the Ruby Red Deep South…

Jacob Anders Endorses Keisha Lance Bottoms for Governor of Georgia

I am proud to endorse Keisha Lance Bottoms for Governor of Georgia.

Keisha is a proven leader with real executive experience and the heart to fight for working families across our state. As a former Mayor of Atlanta, she showed steady, compassionate leadership through tough challenges and always put people first. I believe she is exactly the kind of battle-tested leader Georgia needs in the Governor’s office right now.

From expanding economic opportunity and improving schools to protecting voting rights and making healthcare more accessible, Keisha has the vision and the record to deliver real progress for every corner of Georgia, from Atlanta to rural communities and everywhere in between. She understands that strong leadership means bringing people together and getting results.

What stands out most is her deep commitment to building a Georgia that works for all its residents, no matter their background or zip code. In these uncertain times, we need a Governor with courage, integrity, and a proven ability to lead through crisis. Keisha Lance Bottoms has consistently demonstrated all three.

Georgians, I urge you to support Keisha Lance Bottoms for Governor. Let’s bring bold, steady and inclusive leadership to your great state!

Found a weird paper on the side of the road any ideas ?

Found while riding my electric scooter and I saw a white sheet and checked it out to be met with this. It’s torn in areas that seem to had text? Can somebody tell me what this is?

update: got a weird call of some guy telling me to delete the post should I follow through with their demands?

Best service place

My car needs internal service and external service (ran up on too many parking bars in my low car) is there a good place that does both or is there an individual internal service place and individual external place that’s good in like a 10-15 mile radius if that’d cost less (Hyundai Veloster Turbo Manual)

AJC Series on Dalton's Carpet Industry and how they're pivoting away from carpets and embracing AI

I just think these deep dives from the AJC have been really well done.

From the Trailer:

For decades, Dalton, Georgia, proudly called itself the "Carpet Capital of the World" — until the costs of relying on a single industry became impossible to ignore. As the town continues to reckon with the long‑term impacts tied to its carpet boom today, city officials have also been searching for what comes next. Enter Core Scientific, a massive tech company that arrived as a bitcoin miner, went bankrupt, and is now pivoting to AI and data center infrastructure. Local leaders see opportunity, while many residents worry about risk, accountability and what history might repeat. This episode of "Curiosities of the South" explores a major manufacturing city in northwest Georgia caught between its past and a high‑stakes future. To learn more about how Dalton got here, watch the full episode on May 19.

Anyone know the schedule of that food tent that pops up on Dug Mtn Rd at the Road Runner Fuel station? Or other places like it?

Relatively new to Dalton but only a temporary resident. I was riding my bike and pulled off the interstate at 328, noticed a food stand at that gas station parking lot on my way on the back road up to Dalton. Figured I could eat and decided to try it.

It was damn good. Just got a couple tacos but I would like to go back there again. Does anyone know what stand I’m talking about and what their typical “schedule” is? Or if there are any other small/family street restaurants to try? Bullshit aside, I’d rather support local families, and their food is just so much damn better. Any suggestions hit me up.

They were very nice, made sure to wrap my plate up tight and bag it so I could get it in my backpack without it flying everywhere on my ride home

Appreciate it!

Watch this documentary about Dalton and PFAS

Over 30 years ago, high cancer rates in Dalton were documented and being reported in the news. The biggest mills like Shaw and Mohawk shut it down claiming the findings had been “debunked”. The millionaire owners have done their best to hide it from Dalton residents. Please watch and share this documentary.

Any Ravers in Dalton?

Hi! I'm a 31 m and I just recently went through a breakup with a rave promoter. One of the biggest losses of that is now I don't have anyone to go to raves with. I would love to find a friend or a group to go to raves with. I'm a fan of all kinds of edm from dubstep to dnb to hardstyle to 140. I go to raves in Chattanooga, Atlanta, Knoxville, Asheville, Nashville, and other surrounding cities. So I'm essentially also looking for road trip buddies. I also do flow arts and I'd love some people to flow with but it's cool if that's not your thing. DM me if you're interested!
