I've been missing this so badly. So, are y'all gonna flex outfits you've been holding off for the past month? Or... just me?

I know people in town have talked in the past about needing a local place to get film developed. We finally have the "Athens Film Lab". I'm not affiliated, but this announcement just came thru the UGA listserv. They do 35mm rolls, disposable cameras, and 120 film.

Seems like they operate through insta and google forms:

Happy snaps!

I like live music, all sports, video games, magic the gathering, and drinking 10 beers on a weekday. Where are the people gathering?

I’ll eventually get over you tagging my favorite spot in all of Athens, but did you really have to spray paint the plants too? 😭

Pardon my Karen moment, this place just has a lot of sentimentality attached to it for me

In childhood, at the YMCA summer camp there was a story they told the kids to stop them from sneaking out of the cabins back in the 80s. It was about a local cryptoid named the Chicken Lady.
She was a creature that haunted the camp and ate the kids who snuck out at night.

She was a jogger who was taking a short cut home at night, a short cut that required crossing the 4 lane highway running around town. In her rush to get home she ignored a wise man’s words “look both ways before crossing the street”

Her lapse in judgement resulted in her stepping in front of a semi truck carrying a load of chickens to slaughter. The moments following the entanglement of metal and flesh are the moments where the vail between dimensions opens and the unexplainable becomes reality.

The chicken blood ran down the asphalt and blended into the puddle of blood rapidly growing beneath the jogger. The energy seeping from the open vail allowed the fusion of DNA between the lady and the chickens; saving her life as the sheer volume of chicken blood allowed her lifeless body to slowly regain strength.
As the tow trucks showed up and pulled the truck off the woman, or once was a woman, the people on scene reported hearing a screech that echoed into their bones and in a flash a feathered fury dashed away from the wreckage and into the woods.
They never recovered the woman’s body.

For years following this incident, there was never a real report on what happened to the lady. An empty casket buried. A cross on the side of the road with faded fake flowers. And summer after summer the troubled kids always find a way to disappear at camp. Some say they got picked up by their parents in the middle of the night and went home. Others say they go to jail for sneaking out.
But those of us who were smart enough not to get caught knew we were one wrong step away from going a foul.
Becoming rotten egg.
A haunted hen.
Up next for slaughter for the Chicken Lady.

Can I see a show of hands for people that think it’s okay to go from the far left lane on the bridge all the way into the turn lane? With absolutely no regard for anyone else? Just trying to get into the mind of the enemy. I’ve seen full semi truck and trailers move over two lanes into an already full turn lane. Is it that much of an inconvenience to get into the turn lane before the light where Krispy Kreme is or what?

I need to run to Costco at some point this weekend. I hate when it’s crowded there though. I was thinking of maybe going during the game tomorrow and that there might be fewer people there. Thoughts?

We are now accepting vendor application for Game Central Station X!

The event will be April 3rd-4th 2027 at the Jackson County Agricultural Facility, in Jefferson Ga.

(Sorry Athens we needed much bigger space, but can't afford the classic center...yet!)

Vendor application link is on our website...

GameCentralStation.net

If you sell games, retro toys, gaming related arts and crafts, TCG, or anything gaming related, you will fit in perfectly! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions pertaining to the event.

We also have some sponsorship opportunities if any local businesses would like to get involved!

I just found myself REALLY craving a breakfast with some panfried blood sausage... does anyone know of any restaurants or butchers in the area that carry it?

Sammy left M&K Nails and he was my absolute favorite. Does anyone know where he went?

If UGA doesn't have to pay any fees for any services, that could be ruinous.

If anyone has a spare ticket for Sugar, I will pay you medium bucks for it. You can contact me right up until the show starts if you have one and your plans change.

Thank you!

Spotted this months ago in Winterville. It’s gone now but I assume it’s relocated in Watkinsville now off Daniel’s Bridge Rd.
Anyone seen this ??

Is it the same location as last year? Or how do I find out?

Meant to say PBJ I think.

Inspired by a couple different posts here in over the months and years, it's finally a real thing. NEXT Saturday, Oct 24th, come on down Southeast Clarke Park (4440 Lexington Rd) at high NOON and join us in pool noodle sword fights with friends and strangers. Completely free. Screaming is encouraged. Metal music will be provided if needed.

There will be 34 pool noodles available for use, just please don't take them home with you, we gonna need em for next time. If more people show up, we'll have to rotate. If no one shows up, I'll just be sad and alone.

I'm gonna tag some users from said previous posts in a comment below that indicated they might be interest in such a thing.

And please no comments about the flyer, it was made by an autistic eleventeen year old child for zero compensation.

Why does this exist? Who makes this? Why am I now and have I always been on the mailing list? Is someone trying to tell me something? Are you in danger? Make it make sense!

I can't recommend this place enough! Its a pan latin restaurant in Oconee. The food is incredible and the family and staff operating it are so nice! Definitely keep it on your list!!!

Miami fans 👀 i’ve seen y'all out here. where are we watching UM vs FSU tomorrow night??

We are looking for a local grocery store that sells buckwheat. We like it as a healthy and tasty alternative to rice, but have yet to find it in a local store.

We are currently getting it at the Bosnia Market in Lawrenceville, but that is not a quick drive.

We are hoping for something closer that we didn't consider yet. Thank you

I was using American Pest Control, it was $75 per treatment, then switched to Scout who offered me $50 but are now raising it into $60
