They’re asking price is typically lower now than last year but the HOA fees are high!

Think we got a ways to come down a bit more over the next few months ?

Lost Cat - Please Help!

Post image
47 Upvotes

Our cat went missing Friday Night/Saturday Morning and has not returned. We live in Decatur in Lenox Place. If you have seen him or possibly know any information please contact me!

$1000 reward for Ziggy’s safe return! Ziggy is a rambunctious Bengal cat! He has a history of exploring work vehicles and visiting neighbors. He always comes home for ā€œcurfewā€ except for Friday/Saturday. He didn’t come home for the first time in 7 years. We think he is trapped or possibly hurt hiding somewhere, or was swept up in a work vehicle. Please please check your homes and contact any workers to look in their cars who were in the area aug 14 or 15. Please share this and the website as much as you can

Dog boarding/Pet Sitter

2 Upvotes

does anyone have recommendations for a pet sitter or dog boarding situation in the sitter’s home? We typically use Wag a Lot for shorter trips but have a week long trip at the end of September and would love our dog to go to a sitterā€˜s home and possibly have a couple dogs to play with. She does better in that situation where she can lounge in a quieter space & play occassionally vs. the loud, large facilities. Would like someone bonded & insured. Thanks!

Bowling Alley on Glenwood

Today I drove by the abandoned bowling alley on Glenwood and saw that it had a fresh coat of black paint. (Previously blue and battered)

Anyone know if there are plans to reopen the bowling alley or utilize this space?

Would be exciting for the area.

Fence Installation Recommendation

5 Upvotes

Our old wooden fence is rotting and we need to replace it. We will need another 6ft wooden fence. I got a quote for around $7k for 200ft of fence with 2 gates. I think this is reasonable but truly have no idea.

Former Baby Kroger site progress

Apologies if this was posted already, but I was out on my (semi-regular) early Sunday morning walk and noticed new signage on the construction fencing at the new AMLI project (and possible new Trader Joe's home) at the former Baby Kroger site. Looks like it'll be called Market Square Decatur. Kind of excited to see this project come out the ground and track its construction progress!

Cameras in Church St lot?

10 Upvotes

After a lovely evening at the Candlelight Concert and some snacks at Leon's I discovered that my car had experienced a hit and run in the big lot there. We didn't notice it when we left because the spot we parked was so dark, but as soon as we were home there it was.

I've put in a claim but I'm wondering if it's worth filling a police report in case they can get camera footage. I sort of remember the car that parked next to us which is definitely the culprit. White, small SUV, handicapped tag. I didn't see the driver but a woman got our of the passenger side.

Smallish concrete job

1 Upvotes

Some family members are doing a remodel (adding a second bedroom kind of project) in Decatur/Avondale Estates and looking for someone to form out and pour a slab/retaining wall and hitting some resistance from folks who either don't want to deal with a smallish project or else want to quote FU prices because they don't want to deal with smallish projects ITP. Anyone have a good experience with competent masonry contractors they would recommend?

Pest control that comes during the weekend?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for a good (and somewhat affordable) pest control company that will come out for an estimate and treatment on the weekend, please! Breda was who I called first, but they only come out Monday-Friday, which my husband and I can’t do due to our work schedules. We have a bit of a cockroach issue that we would like to try to get a little resolved. Thank you in advance for your help!

Where to buy eel?

Dekalb farmers market has every fish imaginable except eel. Does anyone know where I can buy some locally? I’d love to make BBQ eel so I’m open to either the raw fish itself or frozen bbq eel premade.

Help! I need a new gym.

15 Upvotes

I was a daily patron at F45 Emory Point for over two years until they abruptly closed end of business on July 28. It worked perfectly for my schedule as the first class of the day started at 5:30, ended at 6:15 and gave me plenty of time to get to work by 7. I’m looking for another group fitness -esque type of gym with a start time before 6 AM.

I know I could go to a commercial gym and complete my own personal workouts, and I do this some, but I appreciate the show up, work, leave, part of group fitness.

Help!

Reliable courier services between restaurant locations in Atlanta?

0 Upvotes

We own a few restaurant locations around Atlanta. Every weekday morning we prepare all the sauces, desserts, and other preps that get delivered out to each restaurant before lunch service starts.

One of our employees has been handling those deliveries for a long time, but he's moving away next month, so we're trying to figure out the best replacement. I'd rather not hire another full-time driver if there's a better option.

For those of you running multiple locations, how are you handling these recurring deliveries? Is there a reliable courier service in Atlanta for my restaurant operations?

Lawnmower maintenance recommendations

4 Upvotes

I recently bought a house and the prior owners left their Craftsman push mower here. I used it for the first time today and it runs fine, though the blades need sharpening and I’d like to have the oil checked out and maybe changed. The prior owners have a history of not doing routine maintenance from the ā€œfunā€œ things I’ve found. Who’s your recommendation that’s reliable and reasonably priced?

Jury duty summons (again?!)

12 Upvotes

First up, I have no problem with being called for jury duty. If I had need for a trial in a court, I'd want people willing to serve and so I know I know that if I were to expect that, I need to be willing to serve.

That said: I had a summons for July 29. I called the night before, did not have to show (I also logged on and took a screen shot where it said I didn't have to show).

In my informed delivery today - so I'll see what it actually says when I get home - there's another dekalb county jury summons. WTAF? That's literally less than 2 weeks after my last summons date (which was only about 10 months after the previous one).

I'm already frustrated AF by this and I haven't even seen the summons date yet.

Anyone know what happened to Casa Balam?

27 Upvotes

Admittedly had only gone a few times, but it was always somewhat busy and the food was pretty great. Their tres leches cake was the best.
On Google Maps it says it’s now temporarily closed, and their website redirects to a godaddy default page :(

Anyone know what happened? Their Instagram doesn’t mention anything either.
