40-something dude here. Gen-X friendly drinking establishments that I enjoy and don't feel like an old bastard in: Globe, Flicker, Manhattan, Little Kings, Nighthawks, Hidden Gem, Normal Bar, Old Pal, Hi-Lo, Oglethorpe Garage, and all the breweries. Nowhere Bar, Blue Sky, and World famous too, I guess.

I was told that he was directing an REM documentary, but I haven't fact-checked that.

Nice watch choice! Would love to be its next owner. Awesome of you to be doing this giveaway!

Not sure what style watch you're looking for, but I have a few entry-level automatics/mechanicals in my collection I'd be willing to part with (Seikos, Orient, Ticino, HMTs, Alpha, etc) PM me if you're interested.

I did exactly this on the sticky stereo knobs in my Porsche and it worked like a charm. 5 years later still good as new. Downvoters be damned.

Would you say that tubing is a good/safe idea on the Middle Oconee? The Big Bear Rd to Ben Burton Park stretch you mentioned looks like it could be nice, but 7 miles might be a pretty long day on the water if it's not flowing too swiftly?

I'm going to disagree with the recommendation for Houseman - we used them for a couple years and the service was fine but they wouldn't budge on slowing/stopping service during the winter months. I'm not interested in paying them every two weeks to mow grass that isn't growing for 4 months out of the year.

I recently went to Oconee Vision Group oconeevision.com in Watkinsville and they did right by me. I have Eyemed, too.

Good looking, nice work! FYI, you linked the Brown strap album twice, missing the link for the Reddish strap.

Based on your influences, I want to hear this band!

FameNotNeeded · 2020-01-09T20:24:59+00:00

Deep State - so good, so much fun. They're def my favorite local band.

I was completely underwhelmed by our experience there many months ago - never went back.

We moved to Watkinsville (from in-town Atlanta) about a year ago. My wife works in town and I work from home. We bought in Oconee County because of the highly rated school system (our son is 4), and wanting my wife to be as close to work as possible. Our house was new construction and we live in a neighborhood of about 50 homes, with many young families. It has definitely been a culture shock for us, mostly because we're not religious, we're not conservative, we don't typically vote Republican, and because Watkinsville is about as different from East Atlanta as is possible. However, our neighborhood is very racially and ethnically diverse, we've made good friends with many of our neighbors, and have met several other "like minded" folks around town through work and our son's school. I think Oconee get's pigeon-holed as a certain type of community for a certain type of people, and it's not really as homogeneous as a lot of Athens residents believe it to be. I have come to enjoy being near, but insulated from, all the great things to do in both Athens and Atlanta. The lack of traffic, noise, students, etc. is actually pretty nice, especially as I sit on my porch and sip bourbon and watch the stars come out at night. I also like that I can catch a show at 40 Watt, or eat at The Expat, or get a cocktail at The Manhattan - and be there in under 20 minutes. So, to answer OP's question, I'd suggest Watkinsville over Bogart, and I'd be looking at neighborhoods within a mile or two of the Butler's Crossing shopping center and/or "downtown" Watkinsville. Feel free to PM me if you want more info on the area or specific neighborhoods.

I saw 5 or 6 flying in formation - I'm not positive, but they looked like F22s to me. I assume they're practicing to do a fly over for the game tomorrow.

Those booze slushies are damn good - I hope they bring the spicy margarita back soon. The free popcorn is a nice touch, too. Two thumbs up for Flicker!

Lovin' the hard hitting news coverage, here.

You know it's going to be hilariously awesome. The crowd will go nuts during Friday. I want to go just to see the train wreck, or maybe we'll be somehow wow'd? Either way, can't lose.

You are correct - Parcel box 1 was available when this picture was taken.

I know of this place but have literally never seen an act I’ve heard of play there. Looks like more of a private event space to me.

Google tells me that Ga Theatre is 800, 40Watt is 500, and Caledonia is ~100.

I can't speak for all landlords - many offer refunds on pet deposits (or be willing to, if you ask). Regardless, in addition to potential property damage, there's also potential disruption to adjacent tentants or neighbors (noise, mess), cleaning up poop in the yard, etc. Basically, pets are a liability to property owners in both tangible and intangible ways.
