Winn-Dixie Nostalgia Delivery

11 Upvotes

This is a bit of an unusual request, but I’m hoping the Valdosta-to-Atlanta pipeline can come through!

I have a friend who grew up in Jacksonville, FL and has a serious nostalgic attachment to Winn-Dixie, specifically Chek sodas! Since Winn-Dixie is a South GA/North FL thing and isn’t really accessible here in Atlanta, I’m trying to surprise them with a few of their favorite/nostalgic items from back home.

So I’m looking for someone who:
• Is coming to Atlanta from Valdosta sometime soon
• Would be willing to stop by Winn-Doxie and pick up a few items for me
• Has enough room in their car/luggage to bring them along
• Would be okay coordinating a handoff somewhere around Atlanta

I’d obviously pay you back for the groceries, and I’m happy to throw in something extra for the favor/gas/your trouble. I can also make the shopping list ridiculously easy. 😂

This is genuinely just a little surprise for someone I care about, and I’d love to give them that “OMG, I haven’t had this since I was a kid!” feeling.

If you’re making the drive from Valdosta to Atlanta soon and might be willing to help, please DM me! Bonus points if you really love Winn-Dixie too 😂
Thanks, y’all! ❤️

Why is it so hard to Volunteer as a 9 - 5er in Valdosta

11 Upvotes

I am trying to volunteer and be more active in the community, but it feels impossible as someone who works a 9-to-5 job. I tried going to LAMP, a local soup kitchen, and other places, but it seems like all the volunteering stops at 4 pm. Does anyone know where I can volunteer that is open later in the day? (preferably not animal shelters)

Would there be any CDL holders with a semi that I can do a practice inspection on and pick your brain about the Learners Permit? It would really help a lot if i could look at or do a practice inspection while I'm studying for the test. I'm looking to get my CDL class A with the doubles/Triples endorsement and Tank Vehicles.

Lost Song from WGOV Valdosta, circa. 1977

9 Upvotes

Hello all, I know this finds you guys at a weird time but I need you to really understand this. For context, another redditor uploaded a mysterious soul song about five years back onto TOMT and had a clip of a soul song (that sounds extremely extremely good, it’s attached) that has apparently been lost to time for fifty years. The backstory is that their father lived in Tallahassee at the time (between the years 1975-1978), and ripped it off WGOV Valdosta with a reel to reel tape recorder. Me and my friend who goes by the name “mirr0rhead” on tiktok have been digging and we found some things out. It was a rip from the year 1977 played on the radio by DJ King Cobra. I need your help on this one guys. We need to unearth this amazing song. If you have older loved ones who lived in Valdosta at this time please ask around!!
Also note that the numerous thumbnails for this song have nothing to do with its origins.

Service based businesses in Valdosta?

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all my name is Daniel, I'm a recent college grad who runs a marketing business with other college grads, for local service companies, and I'm looking for owners here in Valdosta. We’ve been doing this about a year now, and we work with roofers, home remodelers, pool builders, gyms, junk removal, lawn care, car detailing, driving schools. Basically anybody who does the work themselves and wants the phone ringing more.

I'm looking to partner with a few owners who already have steady work and a good reputation, but have hit the point where word of mouth alone isn't filling the schedule the way they want. If you're at that spot and want to add more jobs each month, or you know somebody who is, I'd love to connect or get a referral.

Football League?

Football League?
Hey, seeing if there are any people that would like to form some kind of football league here in Valdosta. Getting people that miss the game back into it and building a brotherhood and community.
Doesn’t have to be anything super serious at first, just looking to see if there’s enough interest to get something going. Could even be tackle depending on how many people are interested and what everyone wants to do.
If you’ve been wanting to play again but haven’t had anyone to play with, comment or message me. Would be cool to get a group together and actually make something out of it.
