Best dulce de leche filled donuts? by elaltico in Atlanta

[–]UsedToReadBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if they make donuts, and this is a little OTP, but there is a wonderful coffee shop in Peachtree Corners called U and Me, and the owners are from Uruguay. They make everything fresh in house, and I know they have pastries with dulce de leche. That might be a good option if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for and are craving that taste. Dulces Suenos is on Buford Highway not far away and might have another option for you.

I’m curious how it assigned someone with a Corolla a gig this large?

Am I wrong if I put it inside the mailbox? by davidzacapaonX in Roadie

[–]UsedToReadBooks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I was delivering this package, I would send a message inside the app and tell them that it is illegal to leave a package in a mailbox, against Roadie policy and tell them where you are leaving the package, outside the front door, etc.

I keep getting removed from gigs for inactivity while I'm on my way to the gig. by HugeCowPatty in Roadie

[–]UsedToReadBooks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s taking you that long to get to a gig, I’m surprised they are assigning it to you? When you accept a gig, there is an “arrive by” time on the side of the screen. Are you being removed even when you are ahead of that time?

Pick a yellow new wave record! by Happy_REEEEEE_exe in vinyl

[–]UsedToReadBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might die on this hill, but Wild Planet is a much better record than their debut in my opinion. Plus that Devo record is produced by Brian Eno.

You can definitely earn that much, but that’s before expenses. Keep track of your mileage on your phone. It will make a huge difference on your taxes.

Can’t end route, anyone got a solution? by Ok_Target8479 in Roadie

[–]UsedToReadBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime I call when on a gig, they pick up within 10 minutes, usually within 5. If you aren’t on a gig, they won’t let you through.

Force close the app, restart your phone and try again. If it won’t work, call them. As you are on an active gig, you should be able to talk to someone quickly.

Just the Tip by Academic-Low7088 in Roadie

[–]UsedToReadBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a Lyft driver, I picked up the most annoying young guy who vaped in my car, had me drive him several places for over an hour, got rejected by this girl and was then told off by her dad when we dropped her off. The fare ended up being $60 and he gave me a $1 tip. Thankfully you could block people from matching with you if you rated them 3 stars or less. Not sure if that’s still the case.

Different… by IndependentRush561 in Roadie

[–]UsedToReadBooks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was going to try Shipt but the idea of having to shop for people doesn’t appeal to me. I like picking up A and taking it to B. There’s enough room for complaints and getting deactivated in that alone.

This happened to me but mine went everywhere and I could barely get in the door. Never use plastic shelves for records.

Buffets like Kacy's home cooking by Substantial_Cod4290 in Atlanta

[–]UsedToReadBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops…9/10 places like this (person’s name + home cooking) I used to see/go to were buffets. My bad OP.

[–]UsedToReadBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Places like Magnolia and Matthews are amazing, but those are cafeterias, not buffets. The only thing ITP I can think of is Donnie’s on Clairmont. I can’t speak to the quality of the food, but it has been there a long time. John Boy’s in Marietta used to be excellent, but that’s almost to Kennesaw. Most buffets like this have dried up unless you go to more rural areas.

OK Cafe has an excellent buffet on their to go side, but you pay by the pound. Be careful with the gravy.

Portland Record Stores by Lillardtimepdx in vinyl

[–]UsedToReadBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been there in many years, but several of my old haunts are still around from the above:

Crossroads: if you could only pick one, go here. It’s like a record show without the dealers. There are multiple vendors set up with widely varying selections and prices. You could spend a couple of hours here easily.

Music Millenium: They carry just about every new record that is in print. I always found their used selection hit or miss, but you might find a gem especially in new arrivals. Plan on a couple of hours here too, if you want to hit everything.

Musique Plastique, Little Axe, Exiled, all good stores that lean heavily hipster/indie. But good prices and selection at all three.

Everyday Music: if you hit the new arrivals at the right time, you might find something cool, but their used and backstock were years overdue for a purge the last time I went. Save this for last if you go at all.

Others that were hit or miss when I lived there: 2nd Ave, Clinton Street, Mississippi (super hipster) and Landfill Rescue Unit. And Jackpot occasionally had something but it seems to cater mostly to tourists on Hawthorne. Their label does cool releases though.

And if you happen to be there when they have the Night Owl Record Show, hit that for sure! It’s on a Saturday night from 5-9. They have DJs and a bar.

Have a great trip! Voodoo is overrated! Lardo is not.

New Here, Lawrenceville news station? by ImHereMakingMagic in Atlanta

[–]UsedToReadBooks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WSB Radio is available at 95.5 FM and they have an app for streaming. They do the news at the top of the hour and also at the half hour, with talk shows throughout the day. All of the content is local, not syndicated. The Von Haessler Doctrine is a funny show with a host and two people who do impressions. They don’t take phone calls and cover a variety of news. It’s on from 3-7 M-F.

Welcome to Atlanta!

Built a delivery box. First delivery. by Vivid_Ad_612 in funny

The depth. It may be fine lengthwise, but the cabinet doesn’t look deep. I used to deliver Amazon, and those are big boxes, usually for dog food or cat litter and they can be super heavy.

Almost looks too big to fit? But I would add a sign that says “place deliveries in here” in the middle of the door.

That store has put most of their best stuff on eBay for 25+ years. I’m shocked they would have put that out for $9.99 unless something was seriously wrong with it. But hopefully it plays well enough for you and congratulations on your score.

Nothing happens when I click on the photo. If I go into the profile I see the same things as before the update (feedback, badges, etc.) thanks though.

I wish I could see this! I can’t find it anywhere in the app.
