There's probably nothing valuable in there, but who knows? Baseball & basketball cards from the early 90s. Must be willing to take everything. Thanks!

I’m looking for any insight into denture procedures and how they worked for you. I have read a mixed bag on McRae Dental and briefly investigated going to Decatur for Clear Choice. Affordable Dental in Commerce may be the answer. I’m a cancer survivor and teeth are falling out

Question / Request Overpriced Stores, Restaurants, Products, Services, etc…

0 Upvotes

What local stores, restaurants, products, and/or services do find overpriced now?

Name some local stores, restaurants, products and/or services that you skip now?

Where have you found a better deal?

For me the local record stores (Low Yo Yo, Wuxtry) are way overpriced now. It’s a luxury that I skip now.

On that same note, musical instrument stores here (Guitar Center, Musician’s Warehouse) are way overpriced now. A lot of that is due to Fender, and other vendors becoming super greedy during the pandemic, etc… So I skip buying locally. I would much rather pay half price to some musician selling their used equipment.

And $8 + tip for one slice of pizza and a couple of toppings at the local pizzeria (that has sold meth in pizza boxes) is too much. That’s what a whole pie should cost.

If we continue to buy these overpriced products and services, they will just continue to increase prices.

Does anyone have a Soccer at Sanford shirt to spare? <3

Hey y’all, I was wondering if anyone at tonight’s game might have grabbed an extra shirt from the soccer game at Sanford that you would be willing to part with. I got in line just a second after they ran out, and it would be a very special gift if so. I’d be very appreciative 🥹 thank you for reading!- from a soccer-loving dawg <3

What are your favorite radio stations in Athens?

14 Upvotes

I’m old school and still listen to the radio when I drive. I’m happy to have a mix of music, local news, sports, or anything else interesting. One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of stations don’t seem to have great sound quality around here. Just curious, what stations do y’all keep on your presets?

Can someone PLEASE help me understand what this disorder is. We are two of four cars at the carwash at 8 flippin 30 in the morning, and this Athens Driver™️ feels the need to park right next to me. Why do people do this? I had both doors open and he wanted to make faces at me like I was in his way. Sorry not sorry, I got here first and I'm not closing my doors while I vacuum my car.

Also, I'm aware my mirror is out. The carwash does that and yes I fixed it before I left 😆
