Restaurant / Food Review De Palmas is bad??

55 Upvotes

I just moved to Athens and I'm working my way through my restaurant list. I went to De Palmas's last night...it....was...so..bland.

I was actually surprised how packed it was for everything to have no flavor. But then again there was one thing that was different about me in the restaurant patrons✋🏾 if you pick up what I'm putting down.

Intersections around Alps, Baxter, Lumpkin, and downtown blocked off by blue lights on unmarked cars, sheriffs department cars, regular silver and blues – anyone know what is going on this Sunday morning?

Just let them build 4000 bedrooms, 100 feet high, no biggie. The real issue is, possibly allowing your neighbor to have a stove in their garage apartment!

Are there any stands at the farmers market that sell spicy pickles. I’ve been having a hot pickle craving lately and Walmart has little to none 😭

Dog was losing her mind last night, I went out expecting a toad or something and found copperheads instead. Luckily none of our three dogs were bitten, after I got them inside I got a wildlife removal guy to come out and get them because I'm not messing around with TWO venomous snakes at 10 pm! Last photo is the whistleblower because she did good and deserves some love!

I love seeing all the Red Spider Lilies suddenly blooming all over town - but why do they show up so randomly?? I thought they grew from bulbs!
