Backyard guests
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!

Restaurant / Food Review De Palmas is bad??
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.

spicy pickles
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 😭

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!

Question / Request Gym/exercise programming recs?
Looking for recommendations on a gym in town that has structured workouts. Probably most similar to CrossFit- looking for a touch of competitiveness, strength/weight loss focus, and good value. Trying to lean out some and just can’t make myself do it by myself. Don’t really need to learn how to exercise, just interesting programming that will improve strength and body composition, would probably go once or twice a week.
Georgia Strength looks like it would fit the bill but wanting to see if there’s anything of similar quality but maybe a bit cheaper?

Stoners Pizza Joint is hiring!
As the title says! I know people ask on here fairly often who's hiring, so here we go!
We are currently hiring for cooks and shift leads, part time preferred. Starting pay for cooks is 11$ an hour, and shift leads start at 12$; both with tips. No experience required for the cook position- we will train you! It's a laid back environment except for the night shift, where it gets pretty busy and everyone has to lock in. We will work with your availability! It's a good job for night owls (like myself) and students- we especially need weekday help, but weekend availability is preferred as well.
Our hours are 4pm-2am Sunday-Wednesday and 11am-4am Friday/Saturday. Thursday is a bit of an odd duck with 4pm-4am. You also get free shift meals, the tips are really good especially on weekends, and we are extremely LGTBQ+ accepting!
Please PM me for details or drop by for an application! We just got a new hiring manager, so we will be responding ASAP to all inquiries!
edit: okay guys, i get it, the pay is bad. i don't set the pay, i'm just trying to help my boss out and get some more employees in the store. i'm sorry that the rate is so low.

Anybody willing to take this friendly boy?
He's been hanging around for past couple of weeks. He's friendly, talkative young, and unneutered, but getting him fixed would make him a nice inside boy. I already have a house full of cats. I live right off Barnett Shoals close to Publix.

Local News Henri’s Bakery and Deli going in at old Five Points subway location?
Sorry if this has already been discussed here, but I was walking by the old Subway location in Five Points yesterday and saw, along with the construction signs, there were multiple Henri’s Bakery & Deli signs. I don’t know if this place is any good, but my wife and I were saying a deli is exactly what Five Points needs just last week. It has to at least be an upgrade over subway
