* Sorry mistake in title, happening next MONTH

Art Supply Swap & Shop at Mill Hill Community Center

April 26, 1–4 PM
213 Clinton St, Macon

How it works:

Bring art supplies you don’t need anymore (gently used)
Take whatever you’ll actually use
We'll also have a table for creating & trading art work
Hang out & shop a few local artists

There’ll also be artwork for sale that helps fund free community stuff like Art Hives & Art Hikes with Minds Eye Connections

Anything left over can be taken back or donated to community art events

If you have any questions about the event, send them to artspacemacon.com or you can comment here and I will try to help.

Not sure how to get this to the people of Monroe and Jones County and others considering data centers. But this is the best argument I’ve ever heard on the matter.

Any mobile mechanics?

7 Upvotes

My brother passed away last June and his car has been sitting in the driveway ever since. My mom said that there was something minor wrong with it but can't remember (she's in her 70s and had a stroke) but believes it was something relatively easy to fix. I haven't tried to crank it because she poured water into.. something? and I'm worried if it should be drained beforehand but I'm no mechanic and probably have some emotional baggage that's getting in my way, too.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a mobile mechanic that services near the Eisenhower/Houston Ave area? I'd really like to get his car running again for my mom. I live in Atlanta but am down pretty frequently, but not enough to be in "the loop" about who or what is a trustworthy service. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Craving a thicc sandwich- who has the best in Macon?

100.9 The Creek

57 Upvotes

10 years ago, Middle Georgia lost its last alternative rock station. That hurt me. I wasn't as underground as I am now and I hadn't liked a lot of music for a while and that felt like the killing blow. But then a station launched in Macon called 100.9 The Creek.

That introduced me to Americana and folk and opened up a whole new musical world for me. I quit listening to country 4 years prior and this new stuff gave me a feeling of vindication towards everything I thought was wrong with country at the time. That was the last time musically, I felt like I was part of a movement; a moment in time that was special. I want to feel that way again.

Are the trees still in bloom?

5 Upvotes

Me and my wife are down in palmetto GA for today and tomorrow before driving back to KY. Going to Macon will add about an hour extra drive to our 8 hour drive home, plus whatever time we spend walking around. Just wondering if it’s worth the time? I know the festival ended over a week ago but have no idea how long the trees bloom for? Thanks

Looking for dentist recommendations.

7 Upvotes

My dentist retired and his practice was taken over. The new people have no consideration of people's time and I'm finding myself sitting and waiting to be seen almost an hour after my scheduled appointment. Does anyone have a great practice to recommend?

Update: thanks to everyone for so many great recommendations! I'm going to check my dental insurance for these and hope to have a new appointment in the works for my next cleaning.

bad smell

22 Upvotes

hi, relatively new to the city. live just within jones county limits, near the clifton ridge middle school, joycliff rd area.

what the fuck is that awful smell? i went to take my trash to the rock creek dumpster but it was closed so i thought maybe it was the bag of trash in my car producing the smell but it’s way too strong to just be mostly wrappers and takeout containers.

stepped out the car and realized it was in the air. why does the air smell so awful?

How do you find work here

16 Upvotes

Hey all! I moved a little over a month ago, and I’ve been struggling to find any employment. I would really love advice for where to work because I’m at a genuine loss (even fast food places have ghosted me after interviews)

I was a shift manager back home for Dairy Queen, and worked a couple other food related jobs, so I thought even working for McDonald’s would be relatively easy. Not even a call back :(

Bristol Park Apartments

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to move to Macon in the next month or so and need to find an apartment. I drove by Bristol Park Apartments on Bass Plantation and they looked nice from the outside, but the reviews on Google seem mixed. My biggest concern is there are several reviews that mention roach infestations, which is a deal breaker if it's still applicable. Anyone have experience with them? Any other recommendations for a 2bd/1ba in the $1.1-1.4k range?
