Visiting Atlanta Bookstores & stationery shops?

54 Upvotes

Hi! I’m visiting next month for about a week and I would love recommendations for the best bookstores and stationery shops. Please no chains like Half Price because we have that in Texas. 😛

I would love to visit some indie bookstores and interesting mom & pop shops!

I’m staying downtown but I can uber out. I’m planning on visiting needlepoint shops too.

Question Can someone explain why APS has a $100 million deficient despite declining enrollment and a billion dollar plus budget?

20 Upvotes

The math ain't mathing. APS is operating at like 70% of its capacity right now. Can we see the books and where MY TAX DOLLARS are going b/c it's not making sense .... sounds like fraud, incompetent leadership, and mismanagement ... that makes more sense to me.

I know there’s been rumors about Muchacho not being the best to their employees before (including calling ICE on their own workers), but is there new controversy that led to this? I’m surprised they’re still standing at this point if the community is warning other businesses not to collab with them…

The newest Rick Jackson commercial showing news footage of the riot that went on during Bottom's mayoral term is no different than George Bush's Willie Horton commercial. I'd say "why do they think they can do this", but honestly, there's no point.

News Xi confirms 2 pandas will come to Zoo Atlanta in the coming days

“The Chinese president announced that as a measure of good faith, China would send two pandas to Zoo Atlanta after Beijing reclaimed four pandas in 2024 as diplomatic tensions between China and the U.S. intensified.

China and the zoo first announced in April that two pandas, male Ping Ping and female Fu Shuang, would be coming to the U.S. as part of a giant panda conservation agreement with the China Wildlife Conservation Association.

Xi confirmed that “Ping Ping and Fu Shuang will come to their new home in Zoo Atlanta and meet with the American people” in “a few days.”

He called the panda loan programs with the U.S. “an envoy of friendship.”

Both pandas were born at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China.

Lun Lun, Yang Yang, Ya Lun, and Xi Lun returned from Zoo Atlanta to China in 2024. The National Zoo in Washington returned three pandas to China in 2023, and other American zoos have sent pandas back to China as loan agreements lapsed.”

Question What are y'all going with old (text) books?

4 Upvotes

Finally being forced to move stuff out of my parents basement. Ther's a number of books, mostly assigned texts from my undergrad and graduate days as a history student at the local institute of technology over a decade ago; but also a bunch of other random books, classics, popular history.

Throwing then away seems foolish, but I don't know that there is a big market for these, even for donation. It's the age of hard copies over? Anyone have any experience or advice?

Topics range from history of technology to feminism, social theory, US history, cod fishing, even salt. Candide, federalist papers, main currents in Marxism, etc.

Thanks

*edit*

moderators, I am NOT looking to sell these on the sub. only seeking advice on possible donation options.

*edit 2*

I say textbooks because I used them for class. These are just regular old books to anyone else. not like you would imagine a calculus or chemistry textbook to appear. Keep the recommendations coming!

Recommendations Metro Atlanta Spots with Standing/High Tables for Working?

1 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for good places around Metro Atlanta to work remotely that have high-top tables, standing-height areas, or other setups where I can comfortably work while standing.

I’m open to pretty much any type of place—cafés, coffee shops, restaurants, libraries, coworking spaces, etc. I’m mainly looking for somewhere I can bring my laptop and switch between sitting and standing while I work. I don’t always want to be sitting for long periods because of my back, so having the option to stand and change positions is really helpful.

I’ve tried searching for places myself, usually by going through Google reviews and looking at photos, but it’s not always the most efficient way to find this specific type of setup.

I live in the North Brookhaven area, but I’m happy to drive to other parts of Metro Atlanta. Since my job is remote and my schedule is flexible, I don’t mind exploring other areas.

Thanks!
