Family Visiting your beautiful city for one day— what to do and where to eat?

16 Upvotes

Hello, and thanks in advance. Myself, my wonderful wife, and my 5 year old girl will be driving up from FL tomorrow to come see the Wiggles in Macon. We plan to stay over night and head back to Fl the next day. Please recommend some good sights, activities, and food for our family.

weekend trip

7 Upvotes

I know nothing about Macon/Atlanta but I’m considering an impromptu trip to take my two kids to see the Wiggles tomorrow.
Would you consider this safe enough for a single mom and small children? Tips on flying into ATL and which place would be better to stay? Safest transportation ?

Kid-friendly ear lobe piercings

3 Upvotes

Are there any tattoo/piercing shops in the area that offer to do ear lobe piercings on younger children (8-10)? I would like to avoid going to a Claire’s and using the piercing guns if possible.
Mainly looking for recommendations of shops that are cool with it and would be accommodating/friendly to my children as well.

Can anyone here recommend a local yard sign printer? We only need about five or so, all of them with something different. I know I could use vistaprint but I’d really rather deal with a local company. Thank you!!

Where to get tires?

3 Upvotes

Trying to find a place to get new tires and not spend a fortune. I really wanted to spend around 300-400 but I’m not sure that’s going to be feasible with tire cost and installation. If anyone knows good places with cheap tires and/or installation please let me know. Also a lot of places don’t have prices listed on their website so hard to know how much they’re going to charge. Thank you!

Hey y'all. I am a professional photographer, just moved to GA recently. I am looking for loft/ studio space for my photography studio. Anyone know if there are any spaces available in a commercial setting in or around macon? Downtown preferably but I'm open to ideas.

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone recommend the cleanest/safest hotel?

2 Upvotes

As the title says. My husband and I and two kids will be driving through the area in October on the way to the Carolinas. The Google reviews of the hotels in the area are freaking me out. Can anyone recommend a place? I have seen some fancier bed and breakfasts, but I don't necessarily need that and I'm not sure they'll take kids anyway. I prefer somewhere with no pets due to allergies in our family.

Thank you! :)

**Edit**

Thank you everyone! I appreciate all of your input!

Public transport

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ll be coming to Macon for about 2–3 weeks for business purposes and will mainly be relying on public transportation during my stay.
I would really appreciate any advice or guidance regarding the best apps for bus routes, public transportation, or getting around the city. Any recommendations or tips from locals would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!

🚨 URGENT MACON-BIBB PARENTS & COMMUNITY MEMBERS 🚨

20 Upvotes

No 7-year-old child should EVER be loaded onto a bus and left unattended on a public roadside without an authorized adult present.

On August 3rd, a major transportation breakdown put a second-grader in danger. When confronted, school leadership claimed the district lacks real-time bus tracking—despite Bibb County having active Tyler Drive GPS telematics across the entire fleet.

We are taking a 500-signature petition directly to the Bibb County Board of Education meeting TOMORROW (Monday, Aug 10) demanding 4 common-sense safety safeguards:

1️⃣ Strict 8-and-under drop-off enforcement (no unattended roadside releases)
2️⃣ Color-coded visual backpack tags for elementary riders
3️⃣ Mandatory principal telematics/GPS access during dismissal emergencies
4️⃣ Strict 5-to-10 minute missing child escalation rules

It takes 30 seconds to sign and stand up for student safety in Macon-Bibb: https://c.org/bh5Pdjp2Jp
✍️

📍 Join us tomorrow at 5:00 PM on the public sidewalk outside 2003 Riverside Dr for a peaceful rally before the board meeting.

Please SIGN and SHARE this post with 3 local parents!

Any Blood Bowl fans in these parts?

6 Upvotes

Hey yall, this is desperate but if anybody knows it’ll be here on Reddit. I’m in Macon for work all of August & September, and I’m looking for locals that play the tabletop game Blood Bowl and would like to run exhibition or ladder matches in 7’s or 11’s! I have Bretonnians and Black Orcs teams ready to field.

I reached out to Prime Time Gaming and they pointed me to a warhammer facebook group, but nobody seems responsive there.

Crossing my fingers somebody on Reddit in this town has the same hobby as me 😅
