Planning on buying a house this year and I’m confused about the different property taxes in Marietta. Cobb county tax + city of Marietta tax make sense but then there’s also Marietta DMDA and Marietta CID? Are those for regular people or just businesses? Are those certain areas? I can’t seem to find a map of those locations.

I’ve seen huge variation in property taxes across listings in Marietta that range from $40 per month to $400 per month for similarly priced homes. (I understand the tax is calculated by taking 40% of the value then multiplying it by the millage rate).

I’m a FTM and would love to make some mom friends in the area and go on playdates etc! My son is 2.5m old

32F / WFH full time as a product designer / INFJ / love Bravo, shopping, crafts, going out to eat, antiquing, art, photography (no particular order!)

Please read this carefully my uncle lives in greenhill drive he is an old man not answering phone from 3 days anyone here can help ?

I come around a bend to see this POS headed at me ON the bike / walking trail!

Just curious if "Room Moms" are a thing in the middle schools around here. (Room Moms generally create Sign-Up Geniuses, collect money from parents and organize teacher gifts, plan Christmas and end-of-year parties, etc.). They are not weekly classroom volunteers.

Where are the 30-35yo normal nerdy women in the metro Atlanta area? For context, I dont drink or smoke, so bars and clubs are out. I live close to ksu so im frequently running into the sub 23yo party girls. I've tried dating apps for the past few months and all I ever get likes from are the "I love to travel", "insta baddie" esthetic types of women (not busting at the seams but a few a week). Yes ik, "lobster too buttery". Surprisingly, it's actually even harder when you're the type of guy that is super friendly and isn't trying to get a quick smash. Contrary to what everyone says they are looking for.

I see posts online all the time from women saying "where are the normal 9-5 nice nerds that want an actual relationship", and im like "where are you?! Im trying to find you too!". The kind of women I like are the "og naruto shikamaru's ideal woman" iykyk. Normal nerdy, regular job, likes to go bowling, mini golf, movies, hangout and watch anime. If shes a homebody most of the time, thats great. The type of woman that most of modern society would call lame cause she'd rather chill on her couch play games and watch anime.

I have no issue respectfully approaching a woman in public, but I barely ever see my type in my age range. Race, religion, education dosent matter to me. Its like looking for a shiny Pokémon at full odds back in the day. I have approached a few women before with ok success. (A friend told me its more than likely cause I dont look as nerdy as I really am. Black, dreadlocks, wear a small chain, dress in all black most of the time😂). I've gone to a few nerdy places but its usually all guys, and the one place that has a decent mix (battle and brew) usually has either couples or the girls are like 23. I know my type is probably just chilling in the crib or at work just like the rest of us nerds😅

I generally go on TikTok to try to find places where other nerds may hang out but all the good spots that come up closed down years ago. I've tried meetup and while ive had fun, I havent really met anyone who would be a good fit interests wise.

Before it gets said, no i don't go to these places just looking for women. I actually like going there just to get out of the apartment. However, I am always keeping an eye out for a kind woman who has similar interests.

I know alot of nerdier women frequent reddit so I figured this was the best place to ask where the best places would be.

Hi everyone- trying to see if anyone knows of any soccer games around the Marietta area I could take my 5 year old son to go see. We have gone to the Atlanta United matches before but it’s such a production to get down there and go. We live in west Cobb and would love to see some team play locally. I appreciate any suggestions.

We’ll be relocating to the area for work in the next few months. We’ve been in Vegas since 2022, before that it was Florida for a short while and then Nashville for a long time (about 10 years). Long story short, Vegas just isn’t for us. We have pretty good job opportunities in the Atlanta area and are jumping on it. We’re a two mom household. I’m very curious about how LGBTQ+ friendly this area is, especially for those who are parents. We’re looking in east Cobb area specifically simply because of the schools. Nevada public school system is atrocious so we’re looking for a big upgrade there.

Other things that intrigue me about the area is the larger home lots (Vegas lots are TINY). My backyard is literally 22x35. There’s some amazing mountain biking near by and even trails within 20 min. While I won’t be able to get to Red Rock National Park in 5 minutes, the area seems to have some great outdoor parks for hiking, biking, and trail running. No, I won’t be able to go to San Diego, flagstaff, salt lake, mammoth lakes, or LA for a long weekend but as of lately I’ve really enjoyed more remote areas, mountains, and less busy beaches. A lower pace more to say. Plus we have ton of friends and family still in FL and Nashville which isn’t far at all. Over all I’m thrilled for this move, just nervous about being a same-sex couple with kids in a more suburban area.

I’ve visited ATL plenty of times and have loved it, mainly midtown and Buckhead but with kids now that’s a no-go especially if we want to purchase a home and be in a good school zone.

This is certainly going to be our last move for the long haul as my son is starting kindergarten next year. My stepdaughter is starting middle school next year as well. Hoping to find our forever place.

Any input regarding LGBTQ friendly areas would be appreciated.

I just moved here and I’m getting adjusted. Anyone have any tattoo artist they’d recommend? I’m looking to get a half sleeve. I’m also looking for a gun store. I’ve seen GA Firing Line and Adventure Outdoors. Anyone been to one of those? Thanks in advance! I’m new here won’t no friends lol

I have a property in the area that I need to clean out the house. Does anybody have any recommendations for a dumpster rental in Marietta?

I’m a single mom with 2 young kids. I have an older dog that I believe needs to see a vet. I’ve had her since she was 6 months old and now she is almost 11. I need recommendations for vets that will work with payments as I am financially in a tough spot. I’m moving in a month, & have been saving every penny that I can, so I know this is going to take me out but she’s my baby.. so any recommendations for an“affordable”, decent vet would be much appreciated. TYIA

We are moving from out of state to 30062 and have never used natural gas. When selecting plans from Gas South it was kinda confusing. The home has a gas stove and nothing else. What's an average therm for a family of 4? We cook dinner every night. Unsure if I should choose fixed rate, variable rate, or one price bridge plan.

Edit to add: apparently furnace is gas too The options they gave was 133/12 months on the one price bridge plan, 1.17 for 12 months on fixed rate, or 1.09 for 6 months on fixed rate.

So Im still lost 🙃

Has anybody been bar hopping at the square? Not looking to go crazy but maybe a couple of drinks in a few places?

ChatGPT suggested Hamp & Harry’s, Marietta Proper, The Third Door, and Johnnie MacCrackens?

Are those good recommendations for a Saturday evening?

Has anyone gotten rental assistance from Must Ministries before? I just want to know how they are before I go to them this week.

I’m honestly feeling very nervous/anxious, because I do need rental assistance, due to some financial hardships and chronic pain. I’ve already gotten denied assistance by a system that didn’t consider my issues urgent enough, and I’m getting to a point where I feel a bit hopeless.

I was just seeing how other people’s experiences are like so I know what to expect when I go in. Crossing my fingers that I get some kind of assistance!

my grandmother loves the orange sherbet they serve patients at wellstar kennestone. does anyone know what brand it is??

Has anyone else heard about a potential planned "teen takeover" on the Square tomorrow? I've heard some rumors going around, but not sure how organized it might be. Hopefully it's just rumors and fizzles out like some of the other ones.

My husband and I are looking for religious private schools for our son, who will start kindergarten in Fall 2027. Spoke to one person who loved Eastside Christian for his two kids. Anyone with experience with Eastside Christian? Interested in academics, student and parent experience, and diversity.
