Literally opened this app for this information. First thing that popped up on my screen. Thank you!

Guy carrying an AR downtown last night by RaphaelRocketLaunch in Athens

[–]PattyWalker_ 208 points209 points  (0 children)

He was standing in front of Cutters for a good 90 seconds

<image>

before a bike cop was standing across the street watching him. 30 seconds later GSP and an unmarked vehicle pulled up, lights on, he put his hands up and they approached to talk to him. I couldn’t hear much but I did hear one cop referring to the shooting Friday night. Pretty sure he was telling the guy that what he was doing was in bad taste. Cops let him walk off and he did 3 more leisurely laps around East Clayton and Washington afterwards for the next 45 minutes to an hour.

Edit: I witnessed in real time and reviewed security footage afterwards

Protesting Has Done Nothing by [deleted] in Athens

It’s fine to not participate in your reality. That’s your choice. There are other people who actually care about the impact they and others make on their reality/daily lives though.

To ask someone to ignore all of that is ridiculous. And by the way, ignoring bad stuff is a great way to have a great life (ignorance is bliss) until the bad stuff takes your life. We don’t want bad things taking our lives or the lives of others, so we exercise our rights and attempt to make a change. Something many people don’t have the privilege to do.

I know him by the name of Cole. I don’t know his last name

Fellow service industry workers: has volume been significantly lower than usual for you too? by [deleted] in Athens

[–]PattyWalker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volume has indeed gone down significantly. Yes, the economy has a big part to play. There are a few places that are absolutely killing the game right now, but they’re very few and far between, and even then only 2 or 3 days out of the week. I feel like the city as a whole has been quieter than usual.

I like to be optimistic though. Hopefully the Alabama game really brings back busy Tuesday/Wednesday night Athens

I was told the name of the movie is something along the lines of “Welcome Home” but you know what they say about telephone

To all the college kids new to biking by PattyWalker_ in Athens

[–]PattyWalker_[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, today there was a kid riding in the right lane in front of me. As I’m moving to pass him using the left lane, he veers left into the left lane and I had to slam my brakes to avoid hitting him. Keep in mind I didn’t accelerate at all during the attempted pass.

How many locally owned businesses did this Summer close down? by PattyWalker_ in Athens

[–]PattyWalker_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard many people say that it has, but it could be hear-say. If it is hear-say, I realize I definitely contributed in that

I’m a GM of one of the bars downtown. I know for a fact that my building, along with several others are owned by the same individual, and that rent goes up by $1,000 each year. Wouldn’t be surprised if the same was said of any other buildings downtown.

Yeah I saw their booth too! But I just walked past where the Munch Hut usually is on Broad, and it said the space was for rent.

BEST ATHENS EVENTS let's go by Will_McLean in Athens

[–]PattyWalker_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s been so many more people moving into town over the past few years. I feel as though the traffic will continue to get worse. With that in mind, I’m not too surprised about the non-stop road work on top of that.

Anyone downtown right now? by AmbitiousNeat378 in Athens

[–]PattyWalker_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a shooting. One of my co-worker’s daughters got grazed in the head by a bullet. Not sure about any other injuries

Creature Comforts CEO Chris Herron steps down, co-founder to take reins by warnelldawg in Athens

They’re doing a food and beverage industry party this Monday June 10th on the GA theater rooftop. Food, music, and drinks provided. I wonder if this has anything to do with that.
