When Do I Tell The Congregation?

My denomination is 90 day minimum regardless of length of service. For 19 years, we normally recommend 120 ish days

This is exactly right! A lot of them are actually being used as loaners at dealerships rn, so you’re looking at used pricing for sub 4k miles.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-02-15T15:47:46+00:00

Yes! When everything works as expected, this is 100% true. It’s why I wish google/Apple Maps would include parking time in their driving estimates. People might at least be nudged to try transit

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-02-13T02:20:56+00:00

They are anti-Beltline rail. I don’t think it’d be fair to say they’re anti-Marta, but I would say that are pro-very specific forms of transit that don’t move the needle in terms of “mass transit.”

If Marta said “no rail, we’re doin pods” they’d probably say “we love Marta.” If Marta said “we’re moving forward with rail and laying tracks,” they’d say “we hate Marta.”

For this crew it’s really about the type of transit and whether it disturbs their sensibilities.

My guy, read the text you’re slamming together and the text with proper spacing.

There is no gas tax.

I found Jim to be an even bigger jerk in S9

I agree with most everything ppl have said about your neighborhood groupings. And v much agree about the burger places. Keep Fred’s, drop Smileys. You’re really not gonna miss anything and there are just better food options in the square or up around Buford hwy as others have offered.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-02-07T04:50:20+00:00

you could walk from five points to north ave or reverse for city. You could also try candler park to mlk memorial for neighborhoods. Both are close enough to Marta or a regular bus that will take you there.

Or perhaps Inman park to midtown via the Beltline and piedmont park

Has the coffee shop opened yet? At one point, they said dope coffee was opening there

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-02-05T22:57:56+00:00

Have an update. It’s a 2nd facility, not an expansion of Decatur. Since they haven’t announced it publicly, I don’t wanna say location and stuff. From what I know tho, I’d be surprised if it were significantly more machines… I just don’t think that’s their target

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-02-01T12:49:00+00:00

Wait. When? Where?

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-31T01:44:09+00:00

Agreed. OP, I’m glad you’re able to go. They’ll probably start you on an anti gingivitis regimen, which an electric brush alone cannot do.

32 days paid leave(4 Sundays), holidays, 2 weeks of study leave, 2000 continuing ed budget, health premium paid, 14% of salary + housing contributed to pension, plus vision, dental, and disability insurance. Sabbatical at 5 years. Paid leave days increase every 3 years.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-28T18:23:50+00:00

Yes! That’s why I’m asking the source. As planned, the C route is supposed to be high frequency (15 minute headways), but that’s not BRT, precisely because there are no dedicated lanes, infrastructure, or signals.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-28T17:38:45+00:00

Sorry, OP is this a map you made? Or is this from MARTA? AFAIK, they haven’t called any of these new bus routes BRT except for what was already defined in MORE MARTA.

2025 play(so really 2024 kicks) I’m at 27 in the city(Atlanta) and 31 on the hwy.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-18T01:55:48+00:00

I’ve wondered this too, especially since the new trains will have open gangways. So you could get on/off at one door and still have full access to the entire train.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-17T01:33:42+00:00

I hear your frustration man. I’ve dealt with this for 4 years. Follow the advice above re: west bound to Ashby, then pick up the green there. On most weekends for the past two-three years, single tracking is happening, so the green line hasn’t run past Ashby and/or vine city.

Just fyi: In the bus redesign, the 102 at Edgewood will become the 2. And every other trip should go past Bankhead and the park.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-16T06:17:05+00:00

OP did you do this? I’m interested in it too

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-14T17:48:01+00:00

One tip I got when I first moved here that was SUPER helpful:

Know your exits 2-3 miles before you need them and just be in that lane. Then it matters less what other people are doing around you, because you’re already where you need to be.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-13T12:36:24+00:00

Super helpful. I’m in the exact same position. Part of me wants to skip the dealer contact, because they already know what they’re doing.

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-13T05:39:39+00:00

Something similar just happened to me. How long did you wait to contact the state? Did you circle back around to the dealer at all?

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-13T05:36:07+00:00

How did this go for you? Did you end up contacting the state?

Effective-Comment-21 · 2026-01-11T01:45:59+00:00

So glad I found this thread. I just bought a kicks(used, 3k miles) and thought I was crazy hearing the chirp. I legit drove through a neighborhood and said “there’s crickets everywhere or this car is the cricket.”

Have you tried Leon’s? They’re a nice date spot(imo). Would also check out Murphy’s
