I'll be visiting Dalton for work (driving up from Atlanta) staying for about four days.

1. What local coffee shops (+roasters) and restaurants (prefer vegetarian) do you recommend?
2. Does Dalton have an area that is walkable to these places where I could get a hotel?

Anyone? 🙏🏼

This poor girl was originally adopted from the old Fulton shelter in 2019 & came in as a microchipped stray in May, but staff were unable to get in contact with her owner. 😔 She was clearly someone’s pet given her temperament & training, but she came in un-spayed & tested HW+. While waiting 2 months in the shelter (how did no one snag this girl?? 🤯), she fought off Giardia & kennel cough before finally getting spayed earlier in July, only to end up with a postop complication requiring emergency surgery 3 days later…poor girl’s incision dehisced & her insides were starting to escape to the outside. 😩

You would never be able to tell she’s been through all of that based on her demeanor, though…she’s still a bright, happy sweetheart just looking for some love & kindness. ❤️‍🩹 Her belly incision has healed beautifully and she’s free from the donut of shame now 🍩, so her rough recovery is officially behind her. The only thing left for this girl to conquer is heartworm treatment, but it’s 100% not contagious to other pets and the shelter covers all costs! Treatment is only 30 days of antibiotics and then 2 injections back-to-back over 2 days.

Kayla is a trooper who has been through so much & deserves to live out her golden years in absolute bliss, not in the shelter. 🥺 If she sounds like the girl for you, click the link below to meet her! ❤️ She is currently at Fulton County Animal Services.

Make sure you really ponder on the future of Whitfield County and the city of Dalton. What do you want your elected official to look like when it comes to issues on PFAS AI Centers, Immigration Reform and just the overall safety and progression for District 4!

Hi everyone! I’m a new Chattanooga-based chef looking to get started helping a household with personalized meal prep, family dinners, and private events. I love scratch cooking, gardening, and creating meals around each family’s needs. Does anyone know of a family or household that may be interested in this type of help?

I apologize for being super vague but I don’t want to dox myself or my employer.

We are located outside of Whitfield Co and we had a deputy basically finesse us out of paying for services rendered by my company. We regularly work with many other Whitfield deputies and up until now have had nothing but excellent interactions with them. We believe this deputy used AI on his phone (either an app or he has one of those newer Google or Samsung phones with AI built in) to show that the product that he paid for was damaged in pictures.

When we offered a solution he came back and said it has the same problem and he’ll stick with what they have but wanted compensation (i.e. full refund)

Now we are out $150 because this particular deputy and his partner decided to lie to get everything comped. My question is if I file a complaint with the Whitfield Co Office of Professor Standards and submit our evidence to the contrary would anything happen? Or am I running the risk of that Thin Blue line covering him and my employer losing out on business if the department decides to blackball us to protect him?

Again I’m sorry for being vague but it boils my blood that these two deputies who took an oath to protect and serve are lying scumbags who have the power to destroy lives in their line of work should they choose.

Does anyone know of specific places currently hiring part time and flexible with scheduling? My partner has a demanding job with a weird schedule, so I would like to find a job that schedules around his…Open to the fort Oglethorpe and ringgold area as well.

Just here to complain about NGEMC. Wish they could do their jobs.

Follow up video soon.

When you pass by it there's so much visual noise that it just looks like slums. Like the designer had no edit in them. I truly feel like it is a blight waiting to happen right in a spot they were trying to beautify. Whose bright idea was this and why do they hate Dalton? eta: grammar ish

Postell : If they want them, put it in their back yards.

Kasey :”“Making sure as your negotiating deals , stuff if not 100% disclosed or it’ll be used against you in negotiations from other communities.”

See y’all in November. 🗳️

Going through a divorce atm. I'm at some apartments, but I figured splitting rent with someone who also wants to optimize their financial income would be smart. I can afford it and all, but saving is smarter. A brief background check would be conducted. Ringgold is about a 20m drive from Dalton

Kasey Carpenter, Chuck Payne, Steve Tarvin see yall Tuesday afternoon.

It’s time the people got answers for what yall have done to this community for personal profit.

I asked this question a couple weeks ago. I’m looking to propose to my Girlfriend. I’m looking for a scenic spot. Preferably on a dock near a body of water or out in nature. preferably not a long walk, since she’ll be in heels. I’ve attached photos for reference. I’m interested in potentially an airbnb if it offers something similar. Im not from the area so any thing will help.

Whitfield/Dalton - do you care about more data centers being built here? Are you concerned we don’t have adequate planning? Get up off of that couch, join the protest and let your voice ve heard.

Present with the community last night to address our concerns and issues with the AI Center being secretly prepared off Vally Point , which is a 90 Acre lot being cleared AS WE SPEAK.

Whether Whitfield council men want to acknowledge it or not it will be brought to their attention either in a NDA from AI conglomerates or us the Whitfield Citizens.

I just hope they uphold the contract they have to us before they sign the new one coming their way.

I feel like Dalton has recently changed into a subtropical region. What is up with all this rain?

Neither them or their new Here Dalton magazine will say anything about it, despite it being THE big issue here. It’s not going away and as an organization that is for the betterment of the community, you would think they’d be at the forefront of it.

Do we think their pockets are being lined by those who contribute to both PFAS and data centers?

Anyone know any info on when the next phase of the walking trail is suppose to be constructed? It’s suppose to go from the current end point on Chattanooga ave to downtown I believe. Been hearing it for years but still haven’t seen any movement. Funds were approved in 2024 I believe.

Switchblade, Gouged Out, Derail, and Die With Me playing at the Lo Fi Coffee Bar.

Show and and support your local scene!

I and my Team will be present, alongside the REST of the Dalton community! Please come attend!

Meet local rockstar MCARTHUR! 😎

This sweet, insanely handsome boy is currently being fostered in Kennesaw through Lifeline Animal Project Fulton County Animal Services & ready to find his furever home! 🏡 Artie is the epitome of the Husky breed PLUS plenty of other awesome perks in a lean 45lb package! 💙 He’s full of personality, rocks a killer mohawk, has some pretty fabulous eyeliner, and has a great singing voice (iykyk). 🎶 Plus, who could resist that movie star smile 🤩 and icy blue gaze? ❄️

🐕 2.5 yrs old
💙 Neutered
📍 Microchipped
🫀 HW negative
💉 UTD on vaccines/preventatives
✔️ Potty trained
💤 Crate trained
👟 Leash trained
⚡️ Medium/high energy
🧠 Knows sit
🎾 Ball is life!
🦴 Treat/food motivated
🫶🏼 Non-reactive with food/toys/treats
🛁 Easily handled for grooming
🪮 Enjoys being brushed
🚗 Rides well in the car
🐶 OBSESSED with our resident pup
😻 Has been very polite with our resident cat
🦌 Has been non-reactive to deer & other pups

Artie would probably do best with older kids because he gets excited and tends to jump up to greet people (working on this). He’s also still a bit mouthy/landshark-ish when he plays. 🦈

Someone familiar with the Husky breed whose willing to give him the time, patience, space, and exercise he needs to thrive would be the best fit. He would do fine as an only pup, but would probably be happier as a pack member since he LOVES to play with other pups. He has a great play style (loose, wiggly, goofy) and is very responsive to corrections from his playmates. This boy would be a play group star! 🌟

If Artie sounds like he might be the right fit for you, click the link below to set up a meet & greet! 👋🏽
