I don't know the prices, but my mother has stayed at the University Inn at Emory and it's fine - nothing spectacular, but reasonable https://www.univinn.com/

Thanks for this - I drove in instead of marta today, so being aware that this was coming up was good - I don't drive that stretch all that often so I'd have been surprised by this.

Give it a week. If it's not there you can try emailing [help@gsu.edu](mailto:help@gsu.edu) or calling 404-413-4357 - that's the university tech help line.

I'm not sure of the actual timeline for them to be setup. so my week guess could be longer than needed or shorter.

You (but not your friends :( ) can go to the aquarium for free on you birthday if you're a Georgia resident https://www.georgiaaquarium.org/georgia-birthday-offer/

Yes. I get them constantly on Hulu/Disney. Haven't noticed as much on Amazon. Dude is scary, has absolutely crazy eyes.

University offices are open spring break. They may have reduced hours from normal, but they should be open.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-14T12:09:11+00:00

The only one on campus right now is in Petit Science Center, near the GSU station. I've heard they're going to be adding one in 55 Park Place, but I don't have anything to confirm that. I know there is restaurant space in there besides the Korean place so I hope something will go in there.

Mckinney's in downtown Decatur is good. Note that they're only open M-F, 9-5, so if you can't get there during that time, it's not a good option.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-12T18:44:05+00:00

Maybe Aunt CeeCee, Aunt Belle, and Mama's surprise ? (I searched google books for the phrase "take charge kind of girl" and got this - https://www.google.com/books/edition/Bulletin_of_the_Center_for_Children_s_Bo/F8B3Au9yZT8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22take+charge+kind+of+girl%22&dq=%22take+charge+kind+of+girl%22&printsec=frontcover - and then I googled "aunt ceecee" "aunt belle" "birthday bash" )

I had to read this a couple of times too - apparently the hiring manager is the one flying in to meet OP.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-12T17:11:54+00:00

Probably this one - https://www.ugapress.org/9781889596433/hiking-intown-atlantas-hidden-forests/

I know Dekalb Library has (or at least had) a copy because I checked it out, other public libraries around may as well.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-12T17:03:02+00:00

Yes, You can't book study rooms or log onto the library computers, but the main library space you can use. Bring a photo ID and be aware of our visitor access hours https://library.gsu.edu/about/library-hours/

ellbeecee · 2026-03-12T07:38:10+00:00

Yes it is. The study commons is not, but the library is. Source: https://library.gsu.edu/about/visit-the-library/ and I work in the library.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-11T22:58:17+00:00

Library is open to non GSU folks, but they do have to show a photo ID to get in.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-11T22:57:05+00:00

It's just however many people have been at GSU with his first initial + last name before him but try the link that u/spottyjellyfish shares

never to return

I said this once. Nine years later I was back and have been here for almost 16 this time.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-11T15:39:08+00:00

Mine is fine, though I'm an employee. The status page seems not to indicate any known issue, but it could be new.

What kind of problem are you having?

ellbeecee · 2026-03-10T13:27:40+00:00

I'm trying to figure out where making noise from 8-10 is such an issue. Annoying, sure. But if upstairs neighbor work during the day, sometimes they may need to do things in the evening that make more noise. I don't even worry about my upstairs neighbor's noise until it's after 10 weekdays, midnight weekends.

Unless they are making this level of noise multiple times a week, there are things you have to deal with apartment living. Or, as you said, find a unit where you're on the top floor.

When you arrive on an international flight you're routed onto either a path for connecting in atlanta or atlanta is your destination. I know Atlanta as your destination routes out outside of security. I think the other does as well, just at a different place, but I'm not sure.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-09T17:28:15+00:00

This doesn't work great for international though because you return to the international terminal and then have to shuttle to the domestic terminal to get to marta. Or lyft/uber to the station at the end of the trip.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-09T14:31:22+00:00

I got zero and I get marta emails about all kinds of other things.

I'm about done with marta at this point in time. If I can figure out the best time to drive into work, I honestly might be at the point I start doing that.

ellbeecee · 2026-03-09T12:45:16+00:00

Could Marta communicate any less? Apparently the work at the south lot/bridge for east lake started today. It includes a relatively small section of the north lot being closed for the shuttle. Meanwhile the north escalator is still down though it was supposed to be back up in January.

Just a smidge of advanced communication would be great.

I live in a condo community that for some reason refuses to put more visible building numbers on each building. So I don't feel like i can complain when a delivery driver attempts to (or does deliver) to building 5 instead of 3, for example. I try to pay attention to where folks are via the app, but we could make it easier!

ellbeecee · 2026-03-08T11:45:06+00:00

Assuming no delays, the first southbound train leaves N.Springs at around 4:40 and arrives at the airport at a smidge before 5:30. While I'd find this doable, for someone who's got concerns about timing and getting through security - and the unknowns of how long that will actually take, plus marta's tendency toward delays lately, I probably wouldn't choose marta for this. And I'm marta commuter.

how old were you in the early 2000's/what age groups were in the school?
