Just went down a rabbit hole looking on qpublic at land ownership around me. I stared to find a bunch of plots owned by Henry County Board of Education, mostly near schools (with the exception of Stockbridge High / Cotton Indian Elementary, where an extra 74.76 acres behind the property have sat unused{?} since 1999), or offices, or maintenance facilities, and completely unused. I found 319.40 acres listed as purchased by:

Henry County Board of Education

Henry Co Board of Education

Henry County BD of Education

The Henry County Board of Education

Board of Education of Henry County

I found others sites, but they at least had some form of news about how they are a future construction site for a school or facility, but none of these plots have been publicly mentioned.

Does anyone have any idea about these? If they stay as undeveloped, raw land then I would be so happy, but knowing Henry Co, and specifically Stockbridge, it will be torn down for businesses nobody wants as soon as a good offer is made.

My father-in-law is facing an incredibly difficult situation, and we’re hoping someone may know of housing resources, organizations, or leads that could help.

Last year, he suffered a severe stroke that left him disabled. He currently cannot walk, receives all nutrition, liquids, and medications through a feeding tube, and requires assistance from multiple caregivers throughout the day. Some of his caregivers are family members, while others are roommates and friends who help with his daily needs.

After a recent hospitalization, he was admitted to a rehabilitation facility and has been making slow but steady progress. Unfortunately, his stay there is limited, and we’re now facing a major crisis.

While he was in rehab, his home caught fire and was completely destroyed. To make matters worse, the home was uninsured.

We’re now trying to find a safe, livable place for him and his caregivers/roommates to live before he is discharged. He receives approximately $1,500 per month in income and has some savings, but not enough to solve this problem on his own.
His roommates are not simply housemates—they are also an important part of his day-to-day support system and caregiving network. Keeping them together, if possible, would greatly improve his ability to remain safely in the community and avoid unnecessary institutional care.

Ideally, we’d like to find housing in Locust Grove, Henry County, or the surrounding area, but we’re flexible and willing to consider other locations if they are a good fit.
We’re looking for:
- Handicap-accessible housing (apartment, mobile home, trailer, etc.)
- A place that home health providers would be comfortable visiting
- Affordable rent
- Any charities, nonprofit organizations, advocates, landlords, or government programs that may be able to help

One additional challenge is that he has a criminal record from many years ago, which may make housing searches more difficult. We’re hoping to find landlords, programs, or organizations that may be willing to consider his current circumstances and medical condition rather than automatically rejecting him because of his background.

This has been an overwhelming series of setbacks, and we’re trying to make sure he has a safe place to go when he leaves rehab. If anyone has housing leads, knows of local resources, or has experience navigating a situation like this, we’d be very grateful for any advice.

I had one… but apparently he got married and moved his practice to Villa Rica. I mean, without asking me or warning me or anything! (lol, jk) Anyways, I do have good insurance… Can anyone point me in the right direction?

My wife and I are moving to McDonough at the end of May from Florida. She is being transferred with her job and I will be working remotely temporarily while I find another position. We are looking for a 2-3 bedroom 2 bath which allows 2 dogs and a cat. We can pay security and first months without an issue. The probably is we are credit challenge due to late payments, high balances and some collections.

Can anyone help?

Can anyone recommend a good place or person to handle body work?

Hey y’all, I’ll be moving to the area at the beginning of the year and am looking for recommendations for safe one to two bedroom apartments that don’t have roach, mold or trash problems… I’m hoping that’s not too much to ask for. 🤞🏻

Do you homeschool? Have a business? Would you be interested photography?

I am trying to earn some extra money with photography. Maybe you have a business and want to put images on social media? I can do that.

Looking for things to do around McDonough. No drinking, smoking, or clubbing. I looked on eventbrite, just looking for a wider range of options and reviews.

I'm looking to apply as a maintenance technician. Was looking for some insight.

If you’re driving over the speed limit in school zones with cameras, be careful. They will still capture even though the yellow flashing lights aren’t on. If you knew this.. great! This for the people that don’t :)

For those that work remotely, where are some of your favorite places to go and set up your laptop? Need a change of scenery from my home office.

Got pulled over in locust grove by an angry cop who couldn’t execute his speed trap the way he wanted to.

I was in the left lane moving around a section of 18 wheelers at ~70 mph. Cop pulls out behind me (no lights) and I continue driving at the same speed as I can’t get over until I’ve passed two 18 wheelers. He speeds up toward my bumper and I am still unable to safely merge to the right because of the 18 wheeler. When I have safely passed it I signal that I will be moving to the right and he pulls me over.

Comes up to the window very agitated/overly stern and asks for license. I ask why I was pulled over and he says he was going to pull over the person ahead of me but because I didn’t get out of the passing lane he couldn’t. He says he’s citing me for -impeding the flow of traffic -obscured license plate (sprinter van has a ladder on it and in some lower sitting cars the plate may be obscured by the lowest rung)
-window tint 12%

In searching it seems the impeding flow of traffic and license plate fines are up to $1000 each.

1. I have an attestation from my ophthalmologist for the window tint but had not registered this vehicle with GA. If I register the vehicle with GA before the court date will the ticket be thrown out?
2. Is it the cop’s word against mine for whether I was indeed impeding the flow of traffic?
3. Is it not a conflict of ethics to effectively throw the book at me/ penalize me for driving responsibly in the same lane as a person who the cop wanted to ticket? This seems an act of retalliation. I’ve been driving this van as is for four years with 0 citations for its appearance.

Final question: anyone have experience fighting tickets in locust grove? Is it worth hiring a lawyer?

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Georgia family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal Georgia family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

• Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
• Custom ancestral mapping showing your approximate ethnic admixture
• Most common causes of death in your family history
• United States migration mapping showing how your ancestors migrated throughout the country
• Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
• Most popular professions and careers in your family history
• Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions to several newspaper websites)

I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

For those of you with ancestry outside of Georgia, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

I live by this river and I'm wondering why it gets so low this time of year? Does anyone have any data on it?.

I went into one the other day and it has products with prices then claims a discount to be taken at the register? Why not just list the lower price? Is there no fresh food in this store? Is everything in a can? No Deli, bakery, fresh meats, or and seafood? Nothing fresh? Why so many locations, do people shop here, is it cheaper?.

Missing Lab

A friend of mine is looking for a home for a dog they're fostering. He's an incredibly sweet beagle. Good with kids, other dogs, and cats. Around 4 years old. He's crate trained and hous trained. If anyone is intersted DM me and i can send pictures.

If a meet up is arranged I'd rather it be with me and the dog for security purposes but those details can be ironed out later.
