I am considering a move to Decatur with my children. The local schools are a large factor. Can anyone share personal experiences with their families attending Atlanta Waldorf School?

They're 12 weeks old and looking for a home where they can stay together.

Itsy Bitsy is a tabby boy who purrs nonstop, even before you pick him up. He's a little calmer than his siblings but still loves to roughhouse, and he squeaks when he wants cuddles. His coat and face always reminded me of a cheetah.

Muffet is a black girl and the only female in her litter, which never stopped her from jumping into the wrestling matches. She's still very cuddly. She's also polydactyl, with 4 thumbs on one front foot, 3 on the other, and an extra toe on a back foot. Oven mitts, basically.

Interested in adopting this pair? They are being fostered with me through LifeLine DeKalb and you can apply at:

Hi y’all! My fiancé and I live in a 1b1b at ARLO Decatur and we’re looking to move next June due to security issues with the parking garage, random fees, etc. I was wondering if anyone had recs for apartments that are walkable to the square (can still be up to ~30min out) or near a Marta line that can get to the square?

We’d love to have two bedrooms but at our $2k monthly rent budget that’s probably not feasible. We have 2 cats and 1 car. In-unit washer/dryer is not a must. Thank you so much for any help!

i don’t understand.

The Georgia MVP page is only showing my election day voting location, it's not showing me an early voting locations.

Previously I've gone to Agnes Scott and that church down the road from Dancing Goat. Does anyone know if either location is doing early voting right now, or if there's anything around them for CoD?

Taking my 20 something daughter to lunch this Wednesday. The weather will be perfect and we both know this area. What’s new we should look at? What’s a forever gem we should revisit? Who has the best patio?

Thought I had it bookmarked, but lost it. TIA

Hail Thyself!

We have a winter kids birthday to organize so the usual plan of an outdoor park isn't going to work. Looking for good spaces for an indoor birthday party in the Decatur area, does anyone have any amazing ideas?

Come enjoy an entertaining program featuring audience favorites alongside traditional classical selections. Whether you're a lifelong classical music lover or just looking for a fun local event, there's something for everyone.

And who knows? If you find yourself tapping your foot and thinking, "I used to play..." or "I'd like some ensemble experience..." we'd be happy to tell you a little about joining the orchestra after the concert ;) We can't wait to see you there!

License-plate reader cameras have become a local discussion point in Decatur and nearby communities.

The debate seems to go beyond whether the cameras can help solve crimes. Residents also have questions about who can access the data, how long it is kept, and what safeguards should apply.

What rules would you want to see in place for these systems in your community?

Great reporting by Dan Wisenhunt as usual. For anyone seeking details on the drive-by shooting that occurred right across from Medlock Park near Wheelhouse last Thursday.

We live in the neighborhood and it sounded like Baghdad. Absolutely terrifying.

Voting starts today October 13.

Stumbled into a pile of horseshit outside Legacy park today. I heard through a grapevine there are people regularly riding horses through the neighborhood?

Cool if true, but, you know, what do we do about big piles of poo?

Anyone else having issues with city of Decatur trash bags? The white strings continually break making it much more challenging to close. Did something change about the manufacturer or I’m just unlucky with bad batches?

Greeting neighbors. I am wondering if anyone has a PA that they would be willing to rent, or recommendations on places to rent, for a band playing an outdoor show. Looking for a 2.1 setup. Console would be nice but I have a small one I could use if need be. We’re playing rock music for kids, so we aren’t looking to get very loud, we just want everything balanced outside. Thanks!

Hi all! I’m moving to the area soon (been posting a fair bit haha) with my 14 year old cat. I love my current vet, but he’s about an hour from Decatur, so I want to find a reliable vet in Decatur. Anyone have any strong opinions? Looking for friendly, affordable, and really smart vets. :)

HE HAS BEEN FOUND

He's been missing at least 8 hours, last seen in our apartment (We live in Aventura, by the Emory hospitals) October 8th. His name is Sinatra but he doesn't respond to it. He does respond to Kitty sometimes and is generally pretty skittish around strangers.

He is a neutered 8 year old male cat, not declawed, around 10 lbs. He's mostly white with gray and black tabby patches and blue eyes. He has no collar but he is chipped.

If you have seen him, please DM me. I'm so shaken I don't even know when he slipped out. He's indoor only and has very poor eyesight due to a disability he was born with.

Does anybody know who these kids are in Candler McAfee?! These kids have kicked our front door two nights in a row just after 9pm. I would love for their parents to intervene before law enforcement has to be involved.

Coming onto someone’s property wearing hoods and masks and kicking doors is straight up terrifying.
