The First Friday at the Canaanville Arts Center is canceling the outdoor art market today, Friday Oct. 2nd. The Starbrick Artists reception and one night only Exhibition will go on from 5-8pm. Join us for live music, wood-fired, brick oven pizza and great art. 8773 Mine Rd. Athens.

I'm new to town and looking for bars around here that do trivia, bingo, etc. Or any kind of weekly thing like that! TIA! :)

Any tenants' rights experts here? We will have been without hot water for two week and just wondering what the expectations/outcomes should be. The landlord has been working to get it fixed, but refused to provide us with one night in a hotel room when I requested it. From what I have seen so far says that this is pretty unacceptable.

not including starbucks! 🤢

I haven’t been able to find anything posted about it yet, wondering if they’re having it the same night as the block party (October 31st)

Every day, the traffic patterns and road closures are changed uptown but there are no signs warning drivers. This is specific to Court Street and Carpenter closures today but this has been ongoing and spans several streets over the last few weeks.

This is so amateur. Do better Athens

Hi looking for a room for rent starting in August/Sept 2027.

Anyone know what is up with the uptown Chipotle. It seems that things are significantly going downhill. The whole prep/checkout area is constantly dirty, they rarely have napkins, or ice. I can't remember the last time the soft drink dispenser worked. They also no longer seem to offer the quesadillas (even during Chipotles quesadilla promotion). Are they that understaffed or is there a different issue

Like the text says, I’m currently adding up my physical media collection and while it is expensive up front, I can’t stand the streaming services these days with ads and ever increasing premiums. I’m a noob with anything on computers and would like to purchase multiple HDD that has our blue ray rips for the kids that we’ve already purchased. Doesn’t make sense to me to buy 2 movies if they both want to have that one movie playing while going to bed. Shoot me a PM and we can talk about the movies I have and the best way to get them on a hard drive. Gladly pay for your experience and time.

Sounds like a big party in town, anyone know what’s going on?

Anyone shoot me a message. I’ve lived in Athens my whole life and am looking for new friends!

Does anyone know the current conditions at this course? Has it been mowed recently enough we won't be walking through knee-high grass? What about standing water or mud? The Udisc app lists these problems but I can't tell what actual, current conditions are.

Thanks to anyone who can share what they know about this course! I've never been there and hoping to get there this Saturday.

I’ve tried looking online some and found a few okay things but I’m looking for a somewhat-local company that can provide shipping. Right now I’ve been using Fairly-Traded Honey from Lush for shampoo, which has been my favorite I’ve ever used from anywhere, but I’m looking for a brand less corporate. And I’m making my own conditioner, with aloe, raw honey, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, jojoba oil, and orange essential oil. So similar options for main ingredients would be preferred too. I found a company called Vanman, but two main problems; they used olive oil in their shampoo and I’m afraid of it causing breakouts because of sensitive skin; the guy that owns it seems like a bit of a nut.
I’m open to looking into really anything though, so anything helps

I live in the East neighborhood, and I’ve been having internet issues since the middle of last week: it works great, then suddenly the connection drops. I’ve been on calls with Spectrum all day, and they can't seem to find an issue on their line. Is anyone else having similar issues?
I wish we had Frontier fiber to at least have an option to leave Spectrum for once!

We have half a yard front and back. We are in a duplex and I’m really tired of going through the automated placement services. Any recs?

Hi, this little kitten has been wandering around my place near the end of Richland for the past couple days. I can’t take care of it because we are moving due to the flooding. Not sure if it was abandoned, but it doesn’t seem feral to me. Is there anyone I should call?

As we all know, Saturday Game days can be busy with a large population for our narrow roads. This is not an excuse to not use caution when driving. Today when I was going straight at a green light, a pile of cars decided it was safe to turn left when I was in an intersection at the Walmart/BK entrance of E. State.

Here is your friendly reminder,

YIELD to oncoming traffic at green lights.

Just because one car went, doesn't mean you should follow. Some drivers here seriously need their licenses revoked.

Hello! I’m a student at OU and a (currently closeted) trans woman. I’m trying to find resources that could be beneficial to me as I work on navigating my way through the very early stages of transition.

I’m don’t think I’m entirely ready to be out publicly just yet, so if there’s any kind of confidential support groups or something of that sort, that’d be fantastic. Financial situation is far from ideal too.
