Question / Request Not sure if this is allowed but within the last week my son’s bike was stolen and the police won’t do anything. This is the exact bike. It was my son’s Christmas present man. 😭💔 if anyone’s seen it let me know.

My usual haunt is closed Sundays, are there any other spots in town apart from sit-down restaurants and fast food that you can walk in and get a biscuit and leave?

Hi! I’m Tim with Take This! Comedy! I’ve been producing/doing improv shows for about 5 years now and have probably 200 shows under my belt at this point 😅 • Every 3rd Tuesday at Athentic Brewing we take a movie and completely improvise it! We’ve already done so many such as Twilight, Star Wars, 10 Things I Hate About You, and more!

Open mic for full bands?

9 Upvotes

Finding open mic nights that are conducive to post hardcore music (or anything more than just acoustic) has been a bit of a challenge.

Does anyone know of a place where we wouldn't be out of place? We have heavy bands here, but how did they get off the ground?

Any paddlers want to meet up?

Post image
30 Upvotes

I’m going to host my first meet up paddle on Tuesday, April 15 at Sandy Creek Park. Bring a kayak, paddleboard, or canoe (and PFD) and come meet folks from the Athens paddling community.

I post these events across multiple groups (Athens Paddlers, Athens Newbies Meetup, and others.) We usually get a turnout of anywhere from 10-20 people and it’s a nice way to meet new people and make some new paddle buddies.

Typically I host these on a weekday afternoon but I’ll try and mix in some weekends and a broad river float as well

Here are the details:

Tuesday, April 15 - Meet at the boat ramp and start putting boats in the water at 5pm and start paddling at 530pm.

Meet up spot: https://goo.gl/maps/msGDmLLseeZSafrE7

Note: the park closes its gate at 8pm and you do not want to get locked in. $2 per person, pay at the gate. High of 80 and mostly sunny. See you then!

Foot Hockey

8 Upvotes

Hey there fellow Athenians! I am 47 years old starting to get back into playing hockey again thanks to the Rock Lobsters! I started playing when I was 4 years old but due to CTE, I'm not able to skate any more because of my balance and vertigo being taken away so I'm opting to play ball/foot hockey. I was wondering if anyone would want to organize a few players to play a pickup game once a week along with me my brother. I have a tennis court in my apartment complex that's not used and we can easily use that. There is no rush on this, just wanted to put a feeler out in the universe. Have a great one!

The Grill Owner

72 Upvotes

What can this community tell me about the current owner of The Grill?

I had a horrible experience there tonight and the manager at the time called him, had them cover their asses, and basically deny and did not acknowledge there was an incident that occurred.

TLDR: Rock in food, chipped tooth. Covering asses.

Written acknowledgement of incident at first, manager calls owner, owner tells manager to get rid of the acknowledgment (1st piece of paper) and to give us a second piece of paper that has their main landline— no other identifying information. Asked to leave the establishment and then found outside by their staff, asked us to pay for the rest of the bill that was not comped.

Is it worth it to see if he will actually be a decent human being and just cover the dental costs or is there some general consensus about this guy? (that would suggest that’s a long fucking shot?)

As the title says, im just going through a lot of emotions right now. I want to heal & find peace. Can’t afford therapy so this is my next shot at just talking to someone. I have no friends & im honestly scared. I feel like im going crazy with these thoughts going through my head but it just keeps coming. I’m so exhausted from crying & I know my new life has started.

Is Tropicalia only my favorite beer because I went to UGA?

40 Upvotes

Or is it my favorite because it’s actually good? Even folks from out of state seem to like Tropicalia more than other IPAs and I’m wondering if I love it because I’m biased or it’s actually that good.

Why has there never been an attempted business between Bon De Paris (RIP) and The Crab Hut (highlighted in red)? It’s just been unused retail space for as long as I can remember.
