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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

From approximately Friday noon till 4pm. Unless he has functions in both locations, based on the flight restrictions now posted, it appears he's landing at Dobbins and going to Dalton. Hopefully via Marine One, but possibly via motorcade. Either way, expect traffic issues in the region.

Hi everyone! I'm a high school student from Forsyth County, and a few friends and I have started an initiative to help immigrant-owned small businesses and mom-and-pop shops with digital visibility and marketing.

We're currently looking for a restaurant to work with for our first pilot, since we had to choose a specific type of business to focus on. COVID was especially hard on smaller restaurants, and as more people rely on the internet to discover places to eat, having a strong online presence has become increasingly important. We want to help these businesses adapt and reach more customers, especially those that might not have the time or resources to focus on digital marketing themselves.

We'd be able to help with things like creating or improving a website so customers can easily find information about the restaurant, updating its Google Business listing so its hours, location, and menu are accurate, and improving its social media presence through content ideas and branding. We'd tailor the help to what each restaurant actually needs, and everything would be completely free.

We know there are a lot of small businesses that could benefit from this kind of help, but we've honestly been having a hard time finding a restaurant to work with for our pilot. If you know an immigrant-owned restaurant in Georgia that could use some help, or know someone who might be able to connect us with one, please let me know! We'd really appreciate any recommendations or introductions.

Just finished early voting in Chatham Co. The place was busy but they kept the line running smoothly.

There was no intimidation from anyone towards anyone, no aggression, or tomfoolery anywhere. There actually wasn't much chatter among people at all. It was comfortable and easy.

I've followed Georgia EV for a long time. It has a lot to tell us about the final results. I'm expecting at least 3.2 million early votes this year, but it could go as high as 3.8 million. In 2024 IPEV+Mail was ~4,000,000. Unlikely to get that high this time but we will see.

We saw 1.9mil in 2018 and 2.3mil in 2022. 2.7mil in 2020. I expect the number could be much higher this year.

But depending on the first week I might revise my projection to be more EDay heavy.

If you see big lines while out voting today, be fascinated to hear what county.

Iirc there were ~150,000 EVs on the first day of 2022 statewide. Given that 2024 had way more early votes than 2020, wonder if we can crack 300k.

Hey y’all! I’m looking for some honest recommendations on the best OB-GYNs and hospitals for labor and delivery in the Atlanta area.
I delivered my first baby at Emory Midtown. I wouldn’t say I had a bad experience, but this time around, I really want to explore my options. I’ve been leaning toward Northside, but the mixed reviews on different hospitals and doctors have me all over the place.
My next pregnancy would likely be considered high-risk, and I’d probably have a planned repeat C-section. I really want an OB-GYN who is experienced, attentive, compassionate, and actually takes the time to build a relationship with their patients. Ideally, I’d love for the doctor who cares for me throughout my pregnancy to be the one who delivers my baby.
For those who have delivered in Atlanta, who was your OB-GYN, where did you deliver, and would you recommend them? Especially if you had a high-risk pregnancy or C-section!
I’m looking for the BEST care, from the OB-GYN to the labor and delivery nurses and postpartum staff. I’d love to hear your experiences, good or bad! ❤️

Saw this just now (6:35ish) above Milton. The dot on the left was slowly moving left, leave the bright stuff in its wake. What the heck is it?

Just saw this outside before taking the kids to the bus. It’s also 6:38am. We’re in Powder Springs/Marietta GA. Please don’t mind the kids in the video haha

We are near a military base so guessing it’s something related to that?

Anyone know hair stylist that do these type of cuts or just alternative cuts near atlanta? I’m near the peachtree city area, but i will travel an hour or two out if needed!! Looking for a hair stylist that does shaggy type cuts, doesn’t have to be curly hair specifically ^^

No its not AI it was in powder springs. 2 small local gas stations that regularly troll each other decided to have a gas war. When I went gas was 1.24 then dropped to 1.19. It was crazy. A full tank for 15 dollars.

(Also if it says screenshot I took the screenshot from a video I took on my ig)

I know its everyone's individual preference on whats good and whats not but does Georgia have any decent haunted houses or tours? Like no kids allowed type. I saw a post that said :

"This was the best haunted house ever, I was terrified! My toddler really enjoyed it."

Yea, no. I will not be attending.

My mom and I flew out of Hartsfield-Jackson airport and went through the TSA Pre-check line. We put our carry ons in the bins and proceeded to go through the scanner when a supervisor came up behind us and took my mother’s cane from her. He insisted that it had to go on the conveyor belt. My mom is 90 years old. When I tried to explain that she needed the cane, he again refused to give it back and told me that I should just help support her instead. I was shocked, but held my mother up and helped her walk through the security detector. Is this standard procedure?
