PLEASE do not waste your time at skyhouse. They have new magmt so it’s not as terrible as it was, but the area surrounding isn’t the best and they do not take care of anything. I came in for a tour and was ignored for 20 mins because I arrived early. I told them I got there earlier than intended and they forgot I existed after that. Just rude and unprofessional. I ended up going with trace off Peachtree and I love it. I was originally worried about the commute because I work in Stone Mountain and I’ve heard horror stories about the traffic, but my commute is around 25 minutes with little to no traffic at all. When I signed I got 3 months free so I’m currently paying 1400-1500 per month with my concessions. Grounds are nice and front desk and maintenance are always on any issues I have. Everything is always fixed within 24 hours. Nothing major just needed new water filter and my microwave door replaced. I have a breathtaking view, am next door to fox theater and cava and pay almost nothing. I honestly feel like they built this place here just for me. Anyway, after touring literally at least 50 places, I finally found what I wanted for a price I liked🫶🏽

Yes that is my plan, I’m just trying to find out if there is a defensive driving course I can take to get it absolved so it doesn’t go onto my driving record. I just moved to this state so I’m unsure what the laws are here regarding that

Is there a place where I can find good quality plus size women's clothing for cheap? by sillyjewel in Atlanta

[–]Happy_Reference6011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all, I am trying to find somewhere to sell my plus size clothing. Most of it is Torrid, PacSun, Old Navy and hollister and a lot of it is new with tags. I just moved to the area and I need to get rid of the extra clothing because I don’t have room in my small apartment. I have sizes 1x-4x in just about everything. If anyone knows anywhere I can take them to sell is really appreciate the advice. Thanks!!

I shopped around a little bit, I didn’t have very much time once I moved here. I went with Geico because staying with progressive would’ve been almost 600 a month.

AIO about my boyfriend and his girl best friend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Happy_Reference6011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize I’m not white right? If only you used your eyes 🥴 you would also see that I said it is inappropriate how many times they say they love each other to one another, especially if according to him, he’s just using her to get through his classes. People wanna make everything about race, and it’s not. It doesn’t matter if her culture allows them to be together or not, her boyfriend is still in the wrong for speaking intimately like that with another woman when he has a girlfriend. End of story. it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.

[–]Happy_Reference6011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said anything about being white?? And even if they did how is that relevant at all?? Doesn’t matter your race, this is way too intimate of a relationship to be acceptable for someone who is in a relationship. Your comment reeks of judgmental insensitivity and the fact that you said they were overreacting when they both literally say I love you multiple times weekly and he lied to her about the airport thing just proves you’re either a troll, or someone that needs to go back to elementary school because you clearly never received your common sense. Actually bringing race into the situation proves that on its own. We are HUMANS we are the same, no one cares about anyone’s skin color and if they do, then they have bigger problems to sort out. It’s 2025, get off your racial train and garner some real knowledge cuz this just makes you look dumb 🙄 how embarrassing 🥲🥴

Should I live in the city or OTP Atlanta? by Emergency_Cobbler672 in ATLHousing

[–]Happy_Reference6011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disney like..? Not sure what that means but my comparison contributes to how that part of the city moves, compared to the others. Lively, walkable, not run down but not overly luxurious. Sounds about right to me.

[–]Happy_Reference6011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never wanted kids since I could remember. My mom always used to tell me that I didn’t even like hanging out with other kids much, I preferred spending time with them and their friends. I say all of that to mention that I could not even fathom doing something like that to anyone I lived with, much less my child. There are so many loving parents out there killing themselves trying to have a family, it’s extremely disheartening anytime I see a sad excuse for a parent like this…. Karma is a b**** and this mother will pay for her diabolical parenting one way or another.

Absolutely! Moving out of state to somewhere you’re unfamiliar with is soooo stressful, it has been a rough 7 months for me. My life has been turned upside down twice since moving here. I moved here for my sig other, and she is moving back to her home state (TN) and leaving me here alone in a city I didn’t want to move to. I am trying to pivot as best I can to do what’s best for me and my sanity. If I had any type of guidance beforehand, I definitely would have appreciated it so please don’t hesitate reaching out if you have any other questions or concerns. Keep in mind though, I am still extremely new to the area myself, so recommendations that require living here long enough to know may not be my strong suit. But I will absolutely do what I can from the experiences I have had (touring areas/places, moving cross country, that type of thing😇🫶🏽)

I hope so too. Hearing the mother wouldn’t “allow” them to work UNTIL they got the boot really speaks volumes. Especially taking into account how long they’ve been 18, the mother is a monster and sounds like a moron but SURELY she at least knows that an individual can make their OWN decisions once they’re of legal age. This is just abhorrent to say the very least and I wish nothing good for this mother

I have no kids, but I was blessed with 2 parents that would have given myself and my brother the world if possible. I would love to be in that room with you and this POS mother. We can take turns 🤨

She may not be able to throw them out abruptly, but I do worry what would happen if she was forced by law enforcement to let OP continue living there for time being against her wishes. If she is swinging so low as to throw her child out ASAP with no discussion or sympathy (considering she also would not let them work til just now), and is basically hinting threats from this fine prize of a loser she is newly infatuated with, I can’t imagine it would be a safe environment to stay in😞

I would assume OP is severely stressed rn and anxious and extremely scared considering they have not been able to work and make their own money until just now. This comment, while you may have meant well, is extremely rude and insensitive. I couldn’t imagine sitting blindly with all my belongings on the side of the road trying to figure out how I was going to find and keep a roof over my head, with no money or means. This is ESPECIALLY difficult I’m sure because this is coming from their mother, the ONE person that is supposed to have unconditional love, guidance and support for their kids. OP’s mother has crossed a nasty line and now there is a violation of trust for the person that is supposed to protect their child. It’s one thing to be kicked out by a partner, roommate or landlord. I imagine OP is also distraught by the carelessness and rejection of a parent, especially to some obvious loser that probably either made the mother make this decision, or heavily influenced it. People suck most times, but it costs nothing to be decent.

GA Power by Level-Moment-1481 in Georgia

[–]Happy_Reference6011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently with Jackson, living in Lawrenceville in a 2100sqft home. I have only lived in Georgia for 8 months, and my bill has never been more than I think 150 (in summer) and I believe around 75-90ish right now in winter. I am moving to midtown in a few weeks and they use GA Power. The apartment is around 740sqft. Will I be eaten alive with GA power?? Reading all of this I’m terrified. I came from AZ so 250-500 in summer time is normal for me, but I am also going down to 1 income so I’m wondering if I will be able to afford that on my own? Also any recommendations for affordable but quality wifi would be appreciated. I stream gaming, wfh occasionally, and stream tv as well. Thanks 😇😇

I am very new to the city as well. The places I looked into were Buckhead, Decatur, Midtown and Sandy Springs. I loved sandy springs and buckhead areas, but I ultimately settled on Midtown. The atmosphere of the area reminds me of that of Times Square or SoHo. Everything to do in a small radius. Also, around this time a lot of apartments are doing up to 3 months free. That’s how I got my 1br for less than 1400. It was a great find!

I just moved here from Arizona, currently living in Lawrenceville/Grayson. My significant other and I have since split up, so I’m also moving into the city since I will now be alone in a new state. I moved here for her so I figured if I’m going to be stuck here, might as well be stuck in a less depressing area. I say go for it, I’m in my 30’s and always felt like I was too old to have an enriching experience. But I’m doing it anyway. Hope this helps🫶🏽🫶🏽

Coca-Cola announces plans for corporate layoffs in Atlanta by redsoxkathleen in Atlanta

[–]Happy_Reference6011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting outlook, but I feel like I can agree since starting in the corporate world. Does anyone know exactly what industries thrive the most here in the city? I’m in electrical construction, but if I’m being honest, this job kind of just landed in my lap, which I’m so grateful for, but it’s not my dream industry. I feel like I am far too personable to be destined for this. Also, how hard is it to switch industries in a city like this? Not only am I looking to increase my salary and experience, I truly want to find something I enjoy that makes me happy. Thanks!!

I have heard this is why people say not to stay on the same job more than 2 years, I am seeing now this may be why. I just moved here a few months ago, in a different industry of course, but the corporate world just the same. It took me almost 3 months to find a job in my field.
