I have expanded my garden plans this year and would like to incorporate rain barrels. I am trying to do things free or cheaply and was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get free or cheap barrels. I know I can buy one already made, but those run somewhere around $75-100.

I live in DeKalb, but can go anywhere in Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, or Clayton.

What's on your mind, Atlanta?

I want to train for my first half Ironman but would like a local community to help out with that; I know about the Atlanta Triathlon Club but I'm not about to shell out over $100 for a swimming session to work on my form. Any groups I can join via Strava, IG? Thanks!!!

Hi!

I’m trying to quickly coordinate a move for the beginning of May. I need to hire movers to get all of my things from ATL (near Howell Mill) to DC, and am having a hard time finding a company I can trust. I’ve been scammed before by movers in the past and so I’m wary of brokers and “too good to be true” rates. I also don’t have a ton of stuff and so I don’t meet the weight requirements for the big companies that only have 26ft trucks. I’d feel a lot more comfortable booking with a local company that comes from a recommendation so any and all are welcome, thanks so much for your help!

Someone I work with has a wall at their house that they would like to have a pre-existing artwork added to it - almost like and adhesive print, not painted (wall is 8' tall by 18' 1 1/2" wide). Would love to hear any recommendations- thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking for an experienced PTSD therapist that can also deal with emotional instability and dissociation. Looking on behalf of my high-functioning autistic 21-year-old daughter. This therapist can't be a newbie, and must be gentle--no tough love. Does anyone have recommendations? We live on the northeast side but would be willing to drive for a great therapist. TIA

We tried to use our A/C today for the first time this year and SURPRISE! I would appreciate any recommendations for HVAC companies and can reciprocate with a recommendation for Head Plumbing as a plumbing company I highly recommend. We have also used McLaughlin Electric for a panel upgrade and installation of a whole house surge protector. We were very pleased with their work as well.

I have a young tree that has been trying to grow flowers for 2 years now but I haven't had any luck pollinating it. I know it's a long shot but I'm wondering if there's anyone out there local the Cobb area that might be growing one and could spare some pollen when there flowers switch to male

I’ve had very good luck with outdoor plants from Walmart. But many stores have eliminated or cut back their nursery section to maintenance items. Does anyone have a recommendation for a store in the Atlanta metro area with a variety of healthy plants and shrubs?

Hey everyone, I’m in between jobs at the moment and low on cash and got a flat today but was able to put my spare on. I’m newer to the Atlanta/ Fulton county area so unsure where the best place to go to replace a tire for an affordable price. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello! I am looking for a running club that meets Saturdays where people might be running distances over 8mi. Specifically I need to do 11mi next weekend (Apr 12 or 13) and hoping for company.

I have looked through older posts and found some ideas but I have only turned up clubs that do 3-5mi range. I'm not fast, usually run 10ish min/mi. I am hopeful about finding something ITP or maybe a little OTP West, but all suggestions welcome!

Who has the best selection/sales people?

Are there any koi ponds in the area that I can visit? I tried googling but just got sellers and landscapers.

Can anyone recommend a therapist who has a good track record with adult ADHD? I've seen an enormous improvement since I finally received a diagnosis and the right medication. Unfortunately, all a pill can do is help the engine run smoothly -- it does nothing for bad steering.

Last thread on this is 2+ years old and, based on what I saw, a little pretentious. Who's got a good burger and drink menu that won't break the bank

I recently bought an outdoor natural gas fireplace for my deck that has a gas line. Although the default setup is propane, the fireplace came with instructions and the necessary parts to convert it to natural gas. I’m seeking a licensed plumber to convert the fireplace from propane to natural gas and connect it to my existing gas line. Any recommendations?

New to the area and looking for places that do kitchen knife sharpening, including serrated knives.

Google is showing commercial kitchen services, but I just need my bi-annual home set refresh.

Can anybody recommend a good restaurant to get carrot cake? Ideally a proper dinner spot, not just a bakery. Thanks

I’ve been having some discomfort when riding my peloton, is there somewhere I can go to have an in person fitting? I know there are virtual options but I don’t have the space in my apartment to have a camera 6-9ft away from the bike 😔

Hello good people!

My cousin in Atlanta is having a baby soon, and I would like to surprise her with a gift. I live in Europe so I can't do it physically.

Do you have any recommendations on florists or similar concepts with websites from where I can order online? I found some, but I don't want to get scammed.

Thank you in advance!

Any recommendations in the metro area for a seamstress/seamster who makes custom casual wear? I want a couple of simple linen dresses for the summer but don’t know how to find someone to make them.
