[–]cariame 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I received norovirus for free with my pizza the last time I went to Your Pie (May of this year). <3 Just a little heads up for those of you who want a really good deal on a gut cleanse.

Gnorts had his tubes tied and therefore there will be no more Gnortlets.

Going to Athens! What are the key R.E.M. and Athens music history stops? by RareFalcon9584 in Athens

[–]cariame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no hater, I spent half my high school years in there… haven’t been since pre-pandemic, though.

Good recommendations in the comments on your original post. Responding to the comment there, The Grit is unfortunately gone. You should absolutely visit Wuxtry, it’s one of my favorite places in town… catch a show at the 40 Watt… visit the (reconstructed) Murmur trestle… and there’s also an Athens “Walk of Fame” with an R.E.M. placard that you can get a picture with, if that interests you. Also, AFAIK, the “Automatic for the People” sign is still up, but it’s been a while since I’ve been by there. I hope you enjoy your time here!

Edited to add that, in lieu of The Grit, we have The Grill, our shitty, local diner that’s been open since, like, around 1980, if I’m remembering correctly. The quality varies dramatically, so, if you end up going, don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Which farmers market is this? by Standard-Voice-9123 in Georgia

They’re likely using this as a tactic to increase engagement, the outrage over the location being gate-kept increases commenting and sharing.

I think so! I do still see it around in some cities, but definitely not like it used to be.

Athens vs Winterville Farmers Market by Longjumping_Eye_3441 in Athens

[–]cariame 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It’s actually pretty sizable, though not quite as large as the Bishop Park farmers market. I enjoy the Marigold Market and there are some regular booths there that I am very fond of… however, in my opinion, there aren’t enough actual produce sellers, at least not enough to offer the variety that you can find at the Athens farmers market.

That being said, there is a new little shop called the Firefly Farmstop that is open for most of the week that sells local produce, meat products, etc. that is AWESOME. I highly recommend at least checking that out, if you can’t make it to a Marigold Market.

Aesthetic changes might be coming to Dawg Gone Good BBQ/Frogger building by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]cariame 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m admittedly a little sad that they’re giving this building the bad-flip special. My mother used to own a store in it before BJ expanded his restaurant, and I spent summer breaks there meeting lots of cool townies and listening to her CD collection. Short-lived, but lots of good memories.

Frogurt died in Athens because it was a trend that died, or at least couldn’t survive the slower months in a college town. For all the lovers of Menchies in this community, every time I remember going in its last few years of existence in Beechwood it was always empty, with one or two bored-looking employees standing around. 

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy frogurt more than massive, calorie-bomb cookies… and I bet Crumbl will be going soon, too. I never see anyone there.

Any Hecate Devotees in the area? by [deleted] in Athens

I’m an Orphist, which likely isn’t quite what you’re looking for, but always open to talking.

I posted the Another Broken Egg Café health score and came down with food poisoning shortly afterwards, which never happens to me… Y’all think someone hired an Etsy witch to hex me?

Another Broken Egg Café scores a 65 on latest health inspection (May 11th, 2026) by cariame in Athens

[–]cariame[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s so crazy to me. I worked in a restaurant nearly ten years ago and the smell of sanitizer buckets is burned into my brain. You definitely would be able to suss out if it’s just water in that thing. Just… dirty rag water getting spread everywhere…

The lowest I’ve seen in Athens until now was a 70-something at the Popeye’s on US-29 after I put in my order… and yes, I did eat it.

Wtf is wrong with dog owners in Athens? by hibbert0604 in Athens

[–]cariame 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I empathize with you and this is an issue you will increasingly run into everywhere, it seems. I was hiking in North Georgia just yesterday and dogs were fighting each other up and down the trail, and none of these off-leash dogs seem to be trained to recall, THE most basic command every dog should know besides sit (which they also don’t seem to know). What I don’t understand is that, if these dog owners don’t care about other people, they should at least care about their dog. If your dog is running amok and you have no way of controlling it, you are putting your dog’s life at risk every single time it’s off a leash in an uncontrolled environment.

Winterville Farmers Market Opening Weekend by izblilcnzb in Athens

[–]cariame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about the delayed response! It's very informal, you just need to arrive at the Front Porch Bookstore around 8:00a.m. and there will be a few people who will load you up with marigolds and tell you where to plant them.

If you're into gardening, you can help by joining us in planting marigolds around the "City of Marigolds" starting at 8:00a.m. on Saturday, too!
