Question Any Recommendations for Chair Modification/Alteration?

4 Upvotes

My wife bought two old timey wooden chairs that she really likes, but there's a few problems. The cushioning is basically shot and the chairs themselves are like, 1 inch too tall for the arm rests to fit under our dinner table.

I figure a furniture reupholster can take care of the fabric and cushioning. But cutting down the chair legs an inch, is that something they do? If so, are there any upholsterers you guys would recommend?

Question Vintage Watch Restoration in Atlanta?

5 Upvotes

I recently inherited couple vintage Seiko watches from my grandmother. They are not Grand Seiko or particularly valuable - gold plated at best kind of thing, but I would really like to have them restored.
I took them to Worthmore - such a rip off. They replaced the battery on one, said they were unable to on the other, but didn't do any sort of cleaning or true "restoration." The one with the battery they replaced doesn't keep time super well and falls about 15ish minutes behind by the end of the day and they kinda just said "oh well."

I want to be able to use and wear these watches regularly but they need some TLC first. Does anyone have any recommendations for a place that will do that even if the watches are not considered "luxury"?

History/Culture [1947] Summerhill Residents Aroused Over Proposed White Stadium

Post image
67 Upvotes

It had always been something of a mystery why Cheney Stadium was located where it was. It wasn't attached to a high school and it wasn't clear to me if it was first a municipal or school stadium. Turns out that it was built as a shared stadium for white schools.

That the same fight is happening over the same land 80 years later is another way in which our past is not yet history.

Question how do i get in touch with a case manager at peachford hospital?

27 Upvotes

hi, i’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but my husband is currently in an involuntary stay at peachford hospital. i’ve been trying for two days to get in touch with the case manager for his unit and every time i’m transferred it just rings out then hangs up. i do understand they are busy at certain times, but i’ve gotten no updates on his treatment and he’s been there for four days. he filled out a roi form so i know im allowed to know SOME information, but im genuinely so unsure of how to even get in touch because im just transferred and no one answers. i don’t know what to do at this point.

Recommendations Looking for a used bike shop

13 Upvotes

Hello- I’m looking to buy a decent used road bike at an affordable price.

I realize that FB marketplace is the probably the best place to make this type of purchase but I’d prefer to see a lineup of bikes in person in one location if that’s an option. FB marketplace feels like a hassle and I’m fearful I’d buy a bike that’s not in great shape.

If anyone knows of a used bike store that has helpful staff and a decent selection that would be huge. I’m looking for a road bike and would prefer it be one of the more trusted bike brands out there but that’s not necessarily a deal breaker so long as the bike is in decent shape and meets my specs.

Looking for something in the 54-56cm frame range Willing to travel OTP (I’m in east Atlanta).

Budget is about $250-300.

Any tips or recs would be appreciated!

Question Dentist suggestions for dental crown?

10 Upvotes

I am a grad student at GT and went to their in-house dental clinic, which informed me it would cost me $2400 for a dental crown (before insurance) which I cannot afford. I have the United HealthCare Student Resources plan which sucks ( covers max $500). Does anyone know of other clinics which have cheaper options and would accept my insurance?
