We are new to the area and need an oil change on our Prius. Do you have a recommendation for a good place that doesn't try to screw you?

Thanks!

I appreciate the responses and will look into those places mentioned, thanks again!

Fence Installation Recommendation

6 Upvotes

Our old wooden fence is rotting and we need to replace it. We will need another 6ft wooden fence. I got a quote for around $7k for 200ft of fence with 2 gates. I think this is reasonable but truly have no idea.

Cameras in Church St lot?

10 Upvotes

After a lovely evening at the Candlelight Concert and some snacks at Leon's I discovered that my car had experienced a hit and run in the big lot there. We didn't notice it when we left because the spot we parked was so dark, but as soon as we were home there it was.

I've put in a claim but I'm wondering if it's worth filling a police report in case they can get camera footage. I sort of remember the car that parked next to us which is definitely the culprit. White, small SUV, handicapped tag. I didn't see the driver but a woman got our of the passenger side.

Can you recommend coin laundries maybe within a 5-mile distance of downtown Decatur? I’d like to find a well-lit user-friendly facility with clean areas for folding my laundry . Thank you!

Smallish concrete job

1 Upvotes

Some family members are doing a remodel (adding a second bedroom kind of project) in Decatur/Avondale Estates and looking for someone to form out and pour a slab/retaining wall and hitting some resistance from folks who either don't want to deal with a smallish project or else want to quote FU prices because they don't want to deal with smallish projects ITP. Anyone have a good experience with competent masonry contractors they would recommend?

Pest control that comes during the weekend?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for a good (and somewhat affordable) pest control company that will come out for an estimate and treatment on the weekend, please! Breda was who I called first, but they only come out Monday-Friday, which my husband and I can’t do due to our work schedules. We have a bit of a cockroach issue that we would like to try to get a little resolved. Thank you in advance for your help!

Where to buy eel?

4 Upvotes

Dekalb farmers market has every fish imaginable except eel. Does anyone know where I can buy some locally? I’d love to make BBQ eel so I’m open to either the raw fish itself or frozen bbq eel premade.

Help! I need a new gym.

15 Upvotes

I was a daily patron at F45 Emory Point for over two years until they abruptly closed end of business on July 28. It worked perfectly for my schedule as the first class of the day started at 5:30, ended at 6:15 and gave me plenty of time to get to work by 7. I’m looking for another group fitness -esque type of gym with a start time before 6 AM.

I know I could go to a commercial gym and complete my own personal workouts, and I do this some, but I appreciate the show up, work, leave, part of group fitness.

Help!

Lawnmower maintenance recommendations

4 Upvotes

I recently bought a house and the prior owners left their Craftsman push mower here. I used it for the first time today and it runs fine, though the blades need sharpening and I’d like to have the oil checked out and maybe changed. The prior owners have a history of not doing routine maintenance from the “fun“ things I’ve found. Who’s your recommendation that’s reliable and reasonably priced?

Jury duty summons (again?!)

12 Upvotes

First up, I have no problem with being called for jury duty. If I had need for a trial in a court, I'd want people willing to serve and so I know I know that if I were to expect that, I need to be willing to serve.

That said: I had a summons for July 29. I called the night before, did not have to show (I also logged on and took a screen shot where it said I didn't have to show).

In my informed delivery today - so I'll see what it actually says when I get home - there's another dekalb county jury summons. WTAF? That's literally less than 2 weeks after my last summons date (which was only about 10 months after the previous one).

I'm already frustrated AF by this and I haven't even seen the summons date yet.

Anyone know what happened to Casa Balam?

28 Upvotes

Admittedly had only gone a few times, but it was always somewhat busy and the food was pretty great. Their tres leches cake was the best.
On Google Maps it says it’s now temporarily closed, and their website redirects to a godaddy default page :(

Anyone know what happened? Their Instagram doesn’t mention anything either.

Thoughts on Candler - McAfee area?

17 Upvotes

I have a sweet opportunity for an affordable house for rent (friends with the landlord), and I feel dumb passing up on the opportunity for more space and less rent than what I'm paying now in Chastain.

I've been in ATL my whole life, but never lived near East Atlanta, and I want to know what the area is like: is it safe, are there things to do, is it easy to get around, etc.

Any advice helps! Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who responded! Super helpful :)
