Suggestions for local produce/peach stands in the Alpharetta/Milton/Roswell area? Or a bit further afield. Grocery store peaches are a huge disappointment. I’d love to find a local stand or market and throw some support their way. Haven’t tried the farmer’s market yet because I’m not keen on the parking or the crowds, but it’s on my list.

What will be a good place to watch the game today? Looking for something family friendly.

It’s my first time coming here for Independence Day, and I was really shocked. There was no music, no national anthem, no themed fireworks…. Left super confused,
Has it always been like this?

I overhead one of the police officers saying that the city of Alpharetta was not expecting a big turnout to the drone show, quoting them as saying “we hope people show up”.

The downtown was PACKED and the cops had a hard time controlling everyone 😂.

It was really fun but I wished they had turned off the street lights and played the music around the whole downtown area instead of just one place.

David Belle Isle has just announced that he is going to run for Alpharetta's Mayor position next year. We need to stop him from becoming Mayor again!

He and his law practice partner, are responsible for the deterioration of Alpharetta's quality of life, by allowing over development of the city while not having the proper infrastructure to support the traffic and maintain the quality of life we enjoyed before he first became Mayor and gave developers whatever they wanted.

Look closely at his list of campaign donors and you will see that the majority are involved in Real Estate development, sales, or mortgage financing. It could be said he is in the pocket of the developers and if he gets into office again, we will get more high density development, more crowded streets, higher crime, and we will lose more of the trees and natural landscapes that drew us to Alpharetta in the first place.

Anyone know where I can sell some extra bottles of Old Fitzgerald 11 yr BIB? Facebook Marketplace doesn’t let you sell alcohol even though I would consider this more of a collectible.

I will never use Batdo again? I would rather use a handyman off of a referral so if y'all have any I'm open.

Thanks for the many great suggestions

Went to library to renew my card and the sign on the door says “Closed til further notice”. Anybody know why?

This is in Georgia, roughly 50 miles north of Atlanta.

Background: when we had our will drafted 25 years ago when our children were young, we got a phone price from two attorneys so we knew going in what the price would be. We chose the attorney who was more expensive because we knew more people who had used him. We had a lengthy consult with him to make decisions, he sent us home with some homework, and then he drafted a will for each of us for the agreed price.

Now our children are grown, and the executors we listed 25 years ago are no longer good options because they are very old, the will talks about guardianship of the minor children if something were to happen to both of us, etc. and so much of that is not relevant anymore that we thought it is time to just get a new will.

We have a recommendation for an attorney and when we contacted the firm about a consult, the paralegal wrote back and said it’s $375 for a consult, and once we consult with the attorney then we’ll find out the price of the will and the price of any other documents or trusts or any other protections we might want to add. I don’t mind the lawyer charging for his time for the consult, and I realize if you’re doing a trust or other things that the pricing might not be something they can quote upfront. But I’d really like to know the price of wills for a married couple (both wills would be identical). I don’t know if we would add any other documents, but i’d like to at least know the price range of doing wills for a married couple before we commit to the $375 consult fee.

Maybe I’m wrong. It has been 25 years since we’ve dealt with this, but for any of you who are an attorney or any of you who have had an attorney draft a will for you in the last few years, is this normal to not have any idea what the will will cost until you pay $375 to find that out?

I just moved here from Savannah, Georgia. And I’m curious to know if and where you can purchase alcohol past 12pm… in Savannah there’s only strict regulations on Sundays as per Georgia law.. seems like you can’t even buy a tall boy past 10 o’clock around here. Seesh….

We are super excited to support the drone show this year!! We usually avoid all of the holiday stuff because it’s so crowded. Anyone have tips on where to park, what to bring, when to get there, etc. to make this experiences as enjoyable as possible?

Wondering if any areas in Alpharetta will have a watch party like they did for the opening match

My spouse and I agree the marriage is no longer working, and we dont want to turn this into a huge court fight. We agree on the divorce itself but we still have a few details to work through a debt and a final parenting plan.

My stbx and I are wondering whether we should file first and walk through the rest of the details afterward. Does it only count as uncontested in GA if we agree 100%?

We are filing in Fulton County. We want to atleast understand the process before we file the wrong way or spend more money than we care to.

Hi all! I am looking for a venue to host 12 clients for an upcoming dinner. I don't have a specific "direction" for this dinner except that I would like for the venue to be in Alpharetta or the surrounding area - any suggestions would be very appreciated!

Hi all! I am a new Alpharetta and Georgia resident. We moved here from CT and are empty nesters. I would love help planning a weekend for my friends visiting from out of town. I want to show our town off and have them understand my new love for the south. Besides the obvious: Avalon, parks and trails, farmers market… How would you plan a weekend and stay locally? Restaurants, jazz shows, bar hop, all welcome. We can Uber home 😄
