I am a African American woman that will be going to school in Cumming , GA and I wanted to know how is it to live , work and go to school there. I won't be living in Cumming but close to it (Alpharetta). I ask this question because when I did bring it up to my parents they mentioned it being a sundown town and told me about the Forsyth County tensions in the 1980s but I have friends who are white , African/African American and South Asian that told me it's not like that or you'll be okay but if you're in certain areas (it makes me feel uneasy). Can anyone tell me how it is to living in Cumming,GA as a minority?

Regardless of incumbent or not why is the republicans always at the top?

Georgia Power is harming our climate with fossil fuels, and the Public Service Commission is letting them get away with it. We can help fix this by electing people who will stand up to Georgia Power and promote clean energy like solar.

37 students from around Georgia participated in this video series to spread awareness of this issue. Please watch the videos to learn about the harm Georgia Power is doing and how our votes can help. It will only take 15 minutes of your time. Thank you.

So yeah this might not be that uncommon but I've never voted in my life and I'm now 40 yrs old and care about the way things are going in our country and want to be able to throw my 1 vote in. Is there a way to find out what elections are happening and where we can vote? I'm totally clueless as far as this kinda stuff goes so if you're going to roast me in the comments you'll have plenty of material. I did find out that somehow I was already registered to vote in Georgia

I was looking up at the sky and saw a parachuter and jokingly said "What if he just started free falling" and then a gust of wind looked like it inverted his parachute below him and he got caught in a insane fast spiral that went from like 500 to 100 in 3 seconds and just like that he was behind the treeline and I didnt see him. Then right on the side of the highway I see a parachute going insanely fast right above a gas station. I didnt catch the landing but I just was wondering if anyone else saw or has any information.

I talked with a GDOT worker about the Furys Ferry Road widening errors in Evans, GA.

I said that the left turning lane from Furys Ferry Road (SR 28 southbound/eastbound) to Malone Way (at Whitney Drive intersection) is marked as a u-turn lane instead of the left turning lane, that error needs to be fixed. Also the white sign (for lane split) on Furys Ferry Road (SR 28 northbound/westbound) towards (actually next to the yield sign at) Hardy McManus Road is too small that is hard to see from a far distance, especially for people on the left lane. If the project is complete and people in the left lane want to stay of SR 28 (soon SC 28) north after the roundabout, most drivers will miss seeing the sign, which can cause illegal lane changing during going through the roundabout, which can also cause multiple accidents. I also told them that putting big green guide signs (also showing lane split) located advanced away from the roundabout can help drivers being warned about the upcoming lane split before approaching the roundabout.

They respond to me with a bad attitude saying their paper planning map shows Malone Way neighborhood does not exist, therefore they were contracted to put that turn left lane as a u-turn lane. And they say that small white sign is a normal sized GDOT standard road sign.

I did submit a form to GDOT, but I don’t know if they would respond or do anything about it.

Looking at the county numbers we definitely see Republicans underperforming. This is relevant because usually Dem counties, in GA and every other state, like VA, pick up a lot near the end, especially if the highly populous counties open up new voting locations for the end of the voting period.

Also in Georgia the election day vote is usually better for Democrats than in other states because their voters vote later than you'd expect due to demographics.

Everyone needs to keep showing up, talking to everyone they know, and wearing their I Voted stickers around to encourage others in the community.

My wife and I are taking my daughter and four of her friends to the mountains for her 16th birthday this weekend. We are going to try and go out to dinner on Saturday. Any good suggestions for Italian or something that is nice but not overly pricey. Thank you.
