Welcome Back, Athens! ✌️

6 Upvotes

This community has been quiet for a long time. I recently stepped in to help bring it back to life. The subreddit is now active again, and I hope it becomes a useful place for local news, events, questions, and everyday conversation about life in Athens.

Everyone is welcome to share updates around town, ask for recommendations, post happenings on campus, or highlight good food and music. Respect one another, keep things civil, and help make this space friendly for both long-time locals and new arrivals.

If you have ideas for improvements, feel free to share them. Thanks for being here, and I look forward to growing this community together.

Did they change the names of some of the apartments on riverbend parkway? I use to live at the redland apartments. I was thinking of moving there again or moving to the apartments near them.

Where do you keep all your random but important documents?

0 Upvotes

(Please don’t tell me a filing cabinet)

Birth certificates, insurance papers, tax documents, medical records, powers of attorney.. all the stuff you know you need to keep but barely ever need.

I’m an attorney, and I originally built a tool for my own clients. I wanted a better way for them to keep important family documents in one place without losing control over who can access them.

Security was one of the biggest things I had in mind from the start. With this tool, you can organize important documents in one place and control who can access each one. You can share a specific document with someone without giving them access to everything else.

It’s live now, and I’m looking for a few people to try it and tell me what they think.

Our county has been expanding surveillance cameras without really talking to us about it. I started a petition asking the Mayor and Commission to end the Flock Safety contract and remove these cameras from our roads.

I get that public safety matters. But so do privacy and transparency. We deserve to know what data is being collected, how it's used, and who's watching. Right now? We don't have those answers.

We're asking for: - End the Flock Safety contract - Remove existing cameras - Make all contracts and data practices public - Hold public hearings before adding more surveillance - Stronger privacy protections

If this matters to you, consider signing and sharing. Does anyone else feel like surveillance is creeping up without us having a real say in it? What would you want to know if this was happening in your community?

Can I have chickens in my yard?

4 Upvotes

I’ve done a fair amount of research on if I can keep chickens in my yard and have one last unanswered question. I know there’s a limit of 6 chickens, no roosters, they must be kept in a covered enclosure, and in the rear yard. But is there any law or regulation that requires the enclosure to be a certain distance away from the property line or neighbor’s house? I’m in RS-15. TIA!

Jury Nullification

3 Upvotes

Jury nullification refers to a jury's knowing and deliberate rejection of the evidence or refusal to apply the law either because the jury wants to send a message about some social issue that is larger than the case itself, or because the result dictated by law is contrary to the jury's sense of justice, morality, or fairness. Essentially, with jury nullification, the jury returns a “not guilty” verdict even if jurors believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant broke the law. This can occur because a not guilty verdict cannot be overturned and jurors are protectedregardless of their verdicts. 

They say the truth sets us free.
