Hi !

Lately I’ve realized that making friends as an adult is a lot harder than I expected.

I’m 20 and live in Sandy Springs but spend tons of time in and around all parts of ATL. I work in the aviation industry, which has me traveling quite a bit, so between work and the occasional motorcycle ride, I haven’t done the best job of building much of a social circle around Atlanta. Most evenings I end up just hanging out at home, and I’d really like to change that.

So I figured I’d ask: how have you met people around here? I’ve found it surprisingly difficult to find things to do that don’t revolve around being 21+ (thankfully that’s changing in January 😅).

If anyone else is in a similar spot and is looking to meet new people, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat, grab coffee, explore the city, or just see where a conversation goes.

I am looking for a new affordable ($800 - $1200) and safe apartment complex so any recommendations and advice would be deeply appreciated! Also any advice from any other women on finding a roommate would be great.

If anyone has ever received a school zone speeding violation in Sandy Springs, what was the website you used or number you called to make the payment? I lost my letter

*Edit, What happens if I miss the payment?

Clearly should be nightshift.

i just waited 15 minutes to go from hammond road to the city green at 11:45.

Will there be a watch party at City Springs tomorrow? Anyone an idea on how this works, like is it free, do you bring your own drinks and snacks, do people stand or bring chairs? Do people bring flags? What’s the vibe?

Is anyone going to the 4th of July event tomorrow at City green? Lmk if anyone is or if you guys are planning on doing your own thing. Ooouuu and let me know if you’re going and you have a truck and a digicam

Anyone have any off the beaten path recommendations for watching the city springs 4th fireworks display this Saturday night? I live locally and would love to see them, but I'm not too excited about wading through the crowds that night. Maybe you can see them from the Target parking lot down the street?

We’re moving from Canada to Sandy Springs later this month and submitted our registration number about two weeks ago. I followed up a few days ago but still haven’t received any response. I am wondering if the office is open/processing registrations right now or if others are experiencing the same. I saw there's an ongoing renovation, but the office was supposed to be moved to Dunwoody Springs elementary.

Hey everyone, I’m moving to SS soon and am looking for work in the food quality or R&D field. Any recommendations for places hiring?

What’s going on yall? I saw a big armored truck pull into the drive between the post office and creepy cult building as well…?

Just bought a house in the area. Need someone to paint just in a couple of stairwells (we have painted the rest of the house, maybe 300 sq feet or so left, need scaffolding or a special ladder). And need someone to install some ceiling lights/expand the space for a wall oven in the kitchen by cutting out a drawer. Does anyone have any recs for people who do these kinds of small jobs? Reasonably priced?

So I make about $40/hr at my job. Cleaning my place takes me roughly 3 hours on a weekend morning. That's $120 of my time except it's not work time, it's my only free time so it's worth more than that.

Professional house cleaning service quote I got: $135 biweekly.

I'm essentially paying $15 more than my time is worth to get my weekends back and get a better result because they actually know what they're doing.

I know this is obvious to some people but it genuinely hadn't clicked for me until I wrote it down. Anyone else do this math late?

Hi everyone,

We are moving from Canada to Sandy Springs next month and i am trying to register my child for elementary school.

I completed the online registration and was instructed to email the registration number to the school office. I also included a few questions in that email, but i sent it on Friday and haven't heard back yet.

Does anyone know how school office hours usually work during the summer in Sandy Springs/Fulton county elementary schools? Are the offices open regularly or only during certain weeks? I couldn't find summer office hours listed online.

In our local school in Canada, the office is only open for about one week during summer, so i am not sure what to expect here.

Thank you!!

Does anyone know of specific sites/groups that coordinate river cleanups? I checked the Chattahoochee Riverkeepers site but there were only like 2 events and they were in October. I looked on the Adopt-a-road and Adopt-a-stream websites as well but there's nowhere you can submit an area that needs cleaned either. This stream has a frickin' top of a charcoal grill, a laptop, so many soda bottles, a shoe, and so much more that people had just chucked in there.

Hiiii, I saw a girl in TikTok walk 100000 steps and I was wondering if I could do the same. I don’t want to do it alone bc it’s boring but let me know if you want to!

Just bought a house (about 3500 sq feet) in Sandy Springs, and I am in bad need of someone to clean our gutters STAT. Does anyone have any recommendation? And, based on your experiences, what kind of price range am I likely looking at? Thanks.

For anyone who attended last night, just wondering about the setup. Where is the outdoor screen exactly? Can you bring your own chairs and coolers, etc, just like the concerts?

I injured my knee a few weeks ago and the orthopedist said that the insurance company won't approve an MRI until I try physical therapy for a while. Given that my knee is still swollen and I continue to limp, I concerned there is significant damage which I'd like to address sooner rather than later.

Is there any independent MRI location in Sandy Springs or nearby where I can pay for one out pocket? Anyone have experience with doing that?
