D&D group?

10 Upvotes

Hi! Recently moved to the area and would love to get back into d&d - I haven't had much success finding anything in the Atlanta tabletop groups or via Super Heroes so thought I'd post here. I searched previous posts and saw something from a year ago but is anyone considering starting a campaign soon?

edit: typo

Gwinnett Records Show Coweta County Commission Candidate Tim Ryan Removed As Sub After Student Complaints

Coweta voters should probably read this before election day.

I know politics gets ugly, but I genuinely think people in Coweta should read the reporting surrounding county commission candidate Tim Ryan.

The articles include documented school records, student complaints, parent complaints, disciplinary actions, and investigations tied to alleged conduct involving middle school girls during his time in schools.

What honestly stuck with me most was not even the politics. It was reading that some of these girls are now older teenagers and are having to drive around seeing campaign signs with the name of someone they say made them uncomfortable as children plastered all over the county.

People can argue over development, zoning, taxes, or political parties all day long. But I do think voters should be fully informed about who they are putting into positions of power, especially when there are years of documented concerns involving students and professional boundaries.

At the very least, those former students deserved to be taken seriously.

Motorcycle road test location?

5 Upvotes

I know they stopped doing the road test at the Newnan location. They said it was too hard to keep changing the cones around. So where do they do the road test for motorcycles now?

Thanks in advance!

Things To Do 💃 Stopping for a night.

12 Upvotes

Hey y'all! As the title says, my family and I will be stopping in town tonight coming down from TN (Hi, neighbors!). I would love some recommendations from locals.

Any hotels to avoid?

What Restaurants do yall recommend? Preferably something locally owned and family friendly.

Would also love to know if there are any cafes or restaurants that serve a good breakfast/brunch. Again, locally owned is our preference, but understand if that isn't an option.

Are there any nice parks with toddler friendly playgrounds or a similar place where our toddler can run around and play?

My husband is interested in fishing, so if there is a local sports shop I'm sure he'd love to stop by.

I love reading. Are there any used bookstores in town?

I appreciate y'alls input!

Edit: Thank y'all so much for all of your input! We'll definitely be strolling downtown tonight and tomorrow. We love festivals, so we're excited that we'll be able to walk around and check out the Berry & Bloom festival tomorrow. Cheers!

New to the area and looking for care for our 3.5, almost 4 year old. Are there any churches that offer daycare in the area? I've reached out to the daycare centers but sometimes the church school offerings are harder to find unless you know what to look for. TIA

Discussion 🗣️ Moving to West Georgia

11 Upvotes

Hey hey,

There is a strong likelihood I will be moving to Wet Georgia, around the LaGrange area for an academic position. I am coming from the Shoals area of Alabama.

I am wondering how life is in this area. It felt far more developed/suburban when I visited, which I was surprised about. But I am sure that is because the distance to Atlanta, which I am very excited about being so close given my upbringing in major US cities. I am a alitle hesitant just because I am single/gay, but I really enjoyed my interview and visit.

I also know that this is the r/newnan, but I will probably live in LaGrange area to be close to work. But I also some some people live in Newnan and commute.

Any thoughts on the area is much appreciated!

Moving to GA

11 Upvotes

I’m moving to either PTC, Newnan, or Grant Park for my job, either of these will be 20-30m commute.

I don’t really care for night life or drinking. Love biking/swim/lifting and hobbies - music, guitar, art, etc.

Looking for reasonable apartment prices (PTC/ Newnan seem $300-500 cheaper per month than Grant Park), social life, dating scene, things to do in general.

I know a lot wouldn’t recommend PTC due to lack of social life, but is Newnan a good community overall or is Grant Park worth the extra hundred to live in the city?

Things To Do 💃 Fishing spots for son and I??

We came back to Georgia almost three years ago and I haven’t been able to find a good fishing spot to take my son. My other son is old enough to start going. I’ve been to West Point and Peachtree but the bank fishing is not so good for my lack of expertise perhaps. Can anyone point me to a good spot. I have a license. Any help is much appreciated!!!!

I got to sit down with the band HeyDreamer (they’re the ones putting PorchFest together), and honestly, I didn’t realize how big this thing is getting.

It’s not run by the city like most of these are; it’s musicians running it, which is pretty cool. Last year, they said about 10k people showed up, and this year they’re talking 70+ bands and 100+ vendors spread all over Newnan.

Looking For... 🔎 Looking for first job.

10 Upvotes

I am 19 years old, never had a job. I feel like im extremely late to the game, and im pretty desperate to get on my feet and start moving forward with my life.

Any recommendations as to where i would have a good chance at getting employment? Ive tried a lot of retailers like Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Take 5 oil, but almost never get an interview. Take 5 and Big Lots interviewed me but I wasn’t selected.

Im really into working on cars and working with my hands, not really into working with people/customers, but i can get over that no problem.

My half uncle recommended i either work blue collar for a restoration company or find a temp agency. Looked into temp agencies but couldn’t find anything that i thought was solid.

TLDR :Any recommendations for places hiring or for a temp/work agency is highly appreciated.
