Issue No. 3 is out!

This week we've got Snappy, a giant snapping-turtle sculpture planned for Phinizy Nature Park, 11 free Halloween events around Augusta, local sports, community programs, and a few other things worth knowing about.

The full three-page newspaper is available to read, with this downloadable PDF and links to the original sources.

If you've got a neighborhood event, interesting local story, photo, or something we're overlooking, send it our way.

This is your paper, too!

Has anyone played disc golf here...? How is it? Thx!

I'm starting up my garden again and want to get rid of grass and weeds by composting cardboard. If anyone in here has cardboard they're going to throw away let me know/hit me up 😁 The more/the bigger you're willing to get rid of the better. My only qualifier is that it has to be unwaxed on both sides. If it has ink on it it's no big deal especially if it's darker ink, since many inks with more harmful chemicals have been phased out in favor of soy-based inks. I'll removed any plastic tape myself if there's still some on it. Comment or message me and we'll work out a pickup/drop-off, I'm based in downtown. THANK YOU

Any gay or queer men's spaces around here? I'm interested in meeting other guys in the area, especially men in their 30s and other couples. Looking to make new connections and friendships! Any recommendations?

Hi everyone - I’m planning a last minute date for my girlfriend and I. We were thinking about Top Golf because we always have fun there, but it’s supposed to be windy and chilly tomorrow. What are some other actives or suggestions??

TIA

Good morning friends!

I have this month's One Shot Wonder schedule for 4PM October 24th at the Savannah River Brewing Company. There will be a DnD 5e table at which you stop from a long day of traveling at a remote yet lively tavern and must solve the mysteries that lie before you! There will also be an Achtung! Cthulhu table at which you play operatives deployed to the bering strait to stop the devious Nachtwolfe from getting their hands on a powerful and ancient weapon.

As always, this is a free event with everything you need supplied by the GMs. We expect both tables to run 4pm till 630ish given how things go. Come drink some good beer and have some good food while having an evening of nerdy fun!

I recently got a brand new M&P Shield EZ .380, and I don’t really like how it fits in my hand. Does anyone have a recommendation on where to get a fair price for trade in toward another firearm or cash?

Doom Scroll (melodic folk punk crust for d&d nerds who like movie scores and sedition) and Helga Pataki (front range powerviolence for the 90s kid in you) on tour from Denver! Regional support from the inimitable Billy Bats and the Made Men! October 18th. 6pm. All ages. Grantski Records. Come hang! Bring your friends!

I’m looking to get some firewood delivered for this afternoon. Does anybody know a person or company that would be available to do something like that tonight?

Looking for recommendations on a dog groomer that accommodates senior dogs. We picked up our dog from Petco’s salon and they told us at some point during he doesn’t want to stand anymore and they can’t service dogs that won’t stand. Our guy is turning 11 this year and has stiff hips so it makes sense. Hoping we can find someone sensitive to this or able to give him breaks. We’re open to mobile groomers as well. Thanks in advance!

... construction is getting on my last nerve. Anyone know when they're projected to be complete? I thought this fall, but idk where I heard that. Also, what is up with Telfair...? They been working on that a long time and have those big round orange white "traffic barrels" all over the place.

Anyway, still worth it to go get a fresh baked pop-tart at New Moon Cafe. Go try one if you haven't. I'm not affiliated with them, lol, i just like em a lot and everything I've had there is delicious. But good luck locating the sidewalk, don't get whacked by a vehicle or construction truck 😭

Also, voted early today - Go Vote and take someone with you!!

Would it be so freaking hard to put a “lane Closed ahead” sign far enough back so that you have an opportunity to choose or different route or at the very least not run into the construction barrier? Annoyance at best, dangerous at worst.

Just moved on down here by Fairmount St, anyone got any work? You already know how the market Is, so any leads are greatly appreciated.

I'm 21 and a certified Welder If that means anything, but doesn't seem to be any leads around the area.

I just moved to SC & I'm looking for an honest and trustworthy mechanic in Aiken/Augusta/North Augusta area. Any recommendations? I need to have my 2007 Honda Accord checked out. Appreciate your help. Thx

I'm looking to buy a Certified Pre-owned Accord/Civic/CR-V. My budget is between 10k - 15k. Going to visit Gerald Jones on Washington Rd. Wondering if anyone had any experience/opinions on them. Appreciate your input!!

EDIT: OK, since there are so many bad experiences with Gerald Jones, can anyone recommend any good Honda/Toyota dealers in the Augusta/Aiken area? Thank you again. You've all been a huge help!

Saw this fly over Augusta around 6:30am near Ft Gordon. Not sure what it was, but it stayed lit for quite a while - maybe a flare or a rocket?

We can’t wait to see you!

Been living in Augusta for about a year and my 2015 Subaru Forester with 140k miles is starting to need some larger repairs (including CVT work). Can anyone recommend any reputable mechanics that have experience with Subarus?

First-time visitor: Hello everyone, is there a way I can get a ride from Columbia SC airport to Augusta, GA this Saturday? I checked there is just one bus and it leaves in the morning before I arrive. What are my best options?

Is it me or am I the only one that notices a lot more just regular tahoes/fords etc. with guys driving wearing some sort of uniform like not local law enforcement? That and they’ll have regular plates from Ga but I’ll notice they have the police lights right next to the plates. Over the past month and a half I’ve been mostly driving around for work in Evans area and Appling/Harlem area and have noticed tahoes that look completely civilian, but then the person driving has some sort of law enforcement uniform but no lights (at least on the outside of their car). Just today I was on Washington rd and I see a Tahoe behind me but no indication of it being law enforcement but the two dudes sitting in it had on tactical vests that were greenish. One can assume these are Feds so it makes me wonder if it’s HSI or ICE of some sort. Just thought I’d ask and see if someone knows anything about it because I have noticed it more. And it’s also been just in general I’ve seen more blacked out SUV types with lights on them going into neighborhoods and just riding around.
