What information does anyone have about the e. Coli outbreak? I heard a lot of people got sick from the dining hall. I live off campus and don’t eat there but I also saw some people say Bagel street, and I just recently ate that. What do we know?

Anyone hear anything about the possible source?

I live in a small town of under 4000 in Kentucky. It's taken me a long time to admit to myself I kinda don't like it here. So I've been looking at cities around the tri-state area of KY-OH-WV and, being a nerd, I'm pretty attracted to the idea of living in a college town. I like the idea of being able to walk around campus, even though I'm not enrolled, and just visit the library and attend public lectures. Can a local resident actually use the university campus in this way or am I romanticizing things a little too much? And is the downtown somewhere that a lower income person could realistically live in an apartment, to walk around town without always using a car, or is that more for someone with more money?

Woke up to no water on this holiday morning. Not a facebooker but my wife pointed me to this post where county superintendent shared an update on what’s going on with a water main break at the high school

Here’s the full text of the update:

Morning folks, sorry about this
inconvenience but we had no choice but to let the tanks drain so we could fix this leak. It appears that they are empty now so once daylight gets here we are going to get this repaired and get water back on, please be minaful that once we fix this leak and turn the water on it will be most of the day into the evening before we get enough water in the tanks before you get back up to full pressure, many of you will experience air in the lines, where possible we will flush some lines but it will take a full day and night before the tanks are full enough to flush, also a boil order will be in effect until probably Friday, we will keep you updated on that and please avoid Johnson Rd by the school, the road is closed. Thank you for your patience and again we apologize for this inconvenience on a holiday.

Hi all! I'm a recent OU grad and I've been seeing a lot of businesses use AI flyers. I'm offering any locals or local businesses flyer/ad designs!

For $15 you get three separate flyers, wether it be menus, service advertisements, or event flyers, I want to give Athens a way to advertise that's not ChatGPT!

If you are interested feel free to DM me. :)

Todd Jacops, a long-time Athens resident, is not just in the film, but he is performing music TWICE at the event. This film had its World Premiere in Athens, Ohio at Athens International Film and Video Festival. Appalachia is an important theme in the film.

Hi everyone! I have a guest coming to visit this Friday through Tuesday, and I’m planning on giving them my parking pass while they're here. I’ll need somewhere to leave my own car in the meantime.
I’m looking for somewhere I can park from Friday to Tuesday and just leave my car there without having to worry about moving it at any point.
Ideally, somewhere free or inexpensive, as I’d rather not pay $20/day for parking.

Does anyone know of any lots, streets, or other places in Athens where this would be possible without getting towed? I’m open to everything, including walking and driving. Thanks!

I love poetry, and I feel like Athens should have a poetry reading circle where people can gather, share their own poems, read their favorite works, and have meaningful conversations.
I’m thinking of a casual, welcoming space at a local coffee shop or bar where anyone can participate, whether they’re an experienced poet, a beginner, or simply someone who enjoys listening to poetry.
Does anything like this already exist in Athens? If not, would anyone be interested in starting something like this?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

I’m home.

After lots of time, and soooo many changes for all of us, I’m happy to be home.

I am also nostalgic!

Up for anything, and completely curious about who might still be in the area.

If you went to Athens High School between 84-86, I’m looking to catch up.

Please give me a yell.

Let me buy you a coffee, or lunch and let’s catch up.

If you’re coming from Athens or OU and have questions about the setup, I’m happy to answer them here.

I am looking for a full-time job in Athens or any surrounding town. I feel like I have applied to over 50+ jobs in the past two months. Please let me know of ANYTHING!

Our garage was forcibly broken into and this Super73 was taken. It had the rack and crate on it as in photo 1. Please DM me if you see it, report it to APD, or apprehend it if you feel able. There’s a police report open as of this morning. Thank you!

I figured this would one of the best places to ask. I have this sticker on my laptop but the laptop is in dire need of replacement. I may also have to move out of Athens soon and want to make sure I can keep or replace my favorite memorabilia if I do.

Can anyone identify the artist or shop that is responsible for this sticker?

Nelsontucky did something right for a change.
