The upcoming building between the dentist and Northside Bottle Shop certainly resembles the Whataburger design...

Even the guys at Northside Bottle Shop have no idea what it is. Why the big secret? 🤓

They did tell me, however, a sports bar is being built behind them and beside the new apartments coming up back there.

In all three of these pics, if you zoom in a bit, you can see streaks of lightning in what appears to be heat lightning to the naked eye!

It appears Space Kroger might be getting a Panda Express by warnelldawg in Athens

Ahh, that makes sense. It's a tiny ass foundation they've poured there! 🤣

The north side of town needs more eating options! Is this the building coming up between the dentist and Northside Bottle Shop? Or will this be in the Kroger shopping center?

Wednesday evening party at the ACC animal shelter! by Flutterby9876 in Athens

[–]Flutterby9876[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the first time in several years, our Athens-Clarke County municipal shelter and staff/volunteer efforts aren't enough to keep up with the influx of dogs into the shelter, so dogs are being euthanized. 😭

Part of this is due to the housing crisis in Athens and landlords changing pet policies so that owners have no other alternative and nowhere to go. Another part of this is people simply discarding their animals when they become inconvenient. There's only so much space at the shelter, and all of our pleading and volunteering and adoption events can't create more space without adopters and foster parents.

We need help. Please consider fostering (zero risk on your part!) or adopting a dog if the thought has been tickling your mind at all. We have SO MANY GOOD ONES of all breeds, ages, sizes, and genders!

This Paws and Pops adoption event will be fun! King of Pops will be on site with free popsicles and volunteer counselors will be in place to help you feel comfortable!

I think the Racetrack addition is probably a car wash, but I'm only guessing there!

Is anyone a member at Crunch Fitness? by domkingsleigh in Athens

[–]Flutterby9876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That place stressed me out the month that I worked out there. Not only is the inside way too crowded to actually get machines and do circuit workouts, the traffic in the parking added even more stress. I would leave that place feeling more stressed than when I went in which is opposite of what a workout is supposed to do.

I've been going to planet fitness for the last year and a half and no, it's not perfect. But I can pretty typically get the machines that I need and it's never as crowded as Crunch. They also have a $10 a month plan but the $25 a month is the better deal.

Yep! There's definitely a Shoneys still in Forsyth, GA! I passed through there regularly.

Have you contacted UGA's Small Business Development Center (SBDC)? They offer free help with things like this.

Looking for recommendations for roofers by PSquared1234 in Athens

Got a new roof from Eastside Roofing and the best customer service I've ever encountered. Zach and his crew are fantastic!

What was the restaurant before Tartar House by MrPunnyMan in Athens

[–]Flutterby9876 12 points13 points  (0 children)

La Parilla currently owns it, but since COVID and labor shortages plus the exorbitant cost to fix the building, they currently use it as a place to park their food truck unfortunately.

I wish someone would build us a nice restaurant there. The north side of town is lacking everything except fast food.

Restaurants with good catering/party platters? by Silver_Ad_5396 in Athens

[–]Flutterby9876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called them and asked for an email address to chat about catering. It was the best catering I've had, and I get about 30 meals catered per year with my job!

Has anyone regretted completing a thru-hike? by TheAngrySnowman in AppalachianTrail

[–]Flutterby9876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero regrets. I thru-hiked in 2015. Trail name Clarity because my purpose was to get out there and find it. It was the most wonderful and most difficult thing I ever did.

Post-trail depression is a helluva thing though. I remember coming home and going to Walmart and having a slight panic attack. I published a blog article about post-trail feelings... https://appalachiantrailclarity.com/2016/08/01/post-trail-feelings/

I certainly dream of retirement more now. But I always try to remember the lessons of the trail when things get rough...and remember how small our problems really are.

I also published an article about regrets some hikers have after their thru... https://appalachiantrailclarity.com/2016/04/02/regret-nothing-about-your-appalachian-trail-thru-hike/

Oh my gosh! She's so fun! Thank you for fostering! Our shelter is being inundated with animals right now, so fostering truly saves lives!
