I’ve been looking everywhere for actual green peanuts to make boiled peanuts with.

I’ve gotten some peanuts from Hardy Farms (very pricey compared to what I’ve found, randomly, at local markets, and minimum purchase amount is a lot) but they didn’t seem any more green than other peanuts I’ve found in stores/markets. When boiled, the shells were not so soft that you could eat them, which is what I’m looking for.

I may be wrong, but I thought green peanuts were supposed to be able to achieve this type of “edible shell softness”.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Does soaking them over night soften the shells? I heard it was simply a function of age and there’s not much else you can do.

Either way, please help me if you know where I can get green peanuts and how to make sure they are SUPER soft?

Hey looking for an adult softball league in the Sandy springs/buckhead/brookhaven/Chamblee area! If any are starting soon for the upcoming year!

I just received this ticket for obstructing the sidewalk in front of my house. Its a very wide sidewalk, so still about 3-4 feet of walkway between my car and the fence. And honestly? Guilty as charged, I shouldn’t park on the sidewalk, and I wouldn’t if the sidewalk wasn’t already impassable.

What infuriates me however, is that my car is not the main obstruction of this sidewalk. The lot next to my house is an empty overgrown jungle, and the city won’t do anything about it. I’d be a bit more understanding and sympathetic if it was abandoned by a family or something, but the lot is owned by a real estate investment firm, its not like they don’t have the means to maintain it.

How am I going to get a ticket for obstructing the sidewalk but the city does nothing about this property becoming so overgrown it makes the sidewalk disappear? If this leads to that lot getting cleared out and maintained, I’ll gladly pay the $100 fine, but the selective enforcement is BS.

Hi! I know on paper Marta requires dogs to be in an “inescapable” crate - has anyone had any experience with Marta enforcing this? Have they allows people to bring their dog in one of those backpacks where the dogs head is above your shoulders? Or even just leashed? Trying to get from my home near a station to the beltline and would love to use Marta rather than drive.

Just a homesick dude in Florida right now missing his home in Georgia.

I only lived there for a couple of years, but it had a profound impact on me. Atlanta was one of the most beautiful cities I had ever seen. So much so I actually took this photo while exiting I85 since the angle and composition were damn near perfect. I didn't even have a chance to review it, but after I parked, I saw the stars in the sky contrasting with the lights of the buildings.

Made me tear up a bit looking at the photo again today. I miss Georgia. I miss occasionally visiting the city.

I don't miss the traffic, but I'd gladly be stuck on I75 again if it meant my next exit was in the metro area.

What's on your mind, Atlanta?

Hi everyone, I lost my Indian passport last night (Saturday, Nov 14) between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM in the Perimeter Center area.Where I was:

• Inside or right outside Hawkers Asian Street Food at Ashford Lane (1230 Ashford Crossing)

• Walking along Olde Perimeter Way and Perimeter Center West toward The Kinsley apartments on Potomac Rd

Item Details:

• Official Republic of India Passport (Dark navy blue booklet with gold emblem on the front, no cover/case)

• Name on Passport: Hemanth Reddy

I am already checking with Hawkers when they open at 11:00 AM, Ashford Lane management, my apartment leasing office, and Dunwoody/Sandy Springs Police.If anyone happened to walk by and pick it up or turn it in somewhere, please send me a DM or chat here on Reddit. Thank you so much for any help!

Playing a lot more golf recently and finally going to upgrade my over 30-year-old irons. Want to do a fitting to find something appropriate for my game. Who or where do you recommend?

I have some opened boxes of tampons and pads that I would like to donate. Everything is individually wrapped but the outer box has been opened.

reporting a potential main break on Monroe Dr 30324 between Allen and Piedmont Way, probably around 1752 Monroe. Bubbling up from under concrete driveway and cascading down street.

Is there really no way to report this via 311? I tried the website no dice. finally got to the chat to report a case, and after clicking "report a possible main brake" I am directed to call the watershed department. currently on hold with them, just trying to do the right thing. they even state via voiceprompt that "prefer chatting? use ATL311" LOFL.

u/ATL311 I know you monitor here, what gives? REALLY no way to report this other than staying on hold for a saturday afternoon?

Considering all the nonsense wondering what wait times are like.. Been back and forth to the airport three times in the past two days

I’m looking for a photographer that’s more on the fun, artsy side rather than traditional. My fiance and I would really like someone that captures our personalities. Does anyone have any recommendations? We’d be doing our engagement session at a bar in Atlanta and our wedding in north Georgia.

Looking for somewhere that does trivia earlier than 7. Po’Boy Shop started at 3:00 yesterday, and while their vegetarian red beans and rice was slammin, I feel like their trivia skews toward the older crowd (probably why they start trivia at 3:00😂😂). I have a pretty wide variety of pop culture knowledge and one of the questions last night had an answer that included the tv shows Baa Baa Black Sheep and China Beach. I used to watch old ass shows all the time as a kid and I’ve never even heard of those lol

Are all the clubs pretty diverse with the girls, or are do some have a majority of one ethnicity or another?

Any recommendations are welcome.
Thanks

hey all! i have a friend stuck at the Atlanta airport. i live in chattanooga currently but was looking at renting a van to come get her and taking her back to knoxville. anyone else needing to get back to knoxville or even chattanooga? i know rental vehicles are pretty much booked up at the airport itself.

Putting this out there on a prayer

At about 5:45 this morning a coworker’s tailgate fell open heading east from the Quiktrip on S Fulton Parkway and dropped several thousand dollars worth of Milwaukee packouts & power tools.

A driver behind him eventually flashed him to pull over, but by the time he got back it had been picked up. He’s offering a reward if anybody can help. SB is written the tools and boxes.

Hope y’all are having a better morning than we are!

Ground stop has me stranded in Atlanta. First time here. Great people. Only hotel room I could get is in Fairlie-Poplar (downtown? I don't know). Any good beer bars near here?

Trying to plan a trip and wasnt sure if this is a realistic plan or not. Never been to atlanta but have a 730 pm show and not wanting to pay what it costs to stay near venue.

All flights across the country have been ground.

Ground stop: All flights in the United States are grounded until further notice, “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety,” the Federal Aviation Administration said.

• Cause not yet known: The reason for the ground stop was not immediately clear, but an FAA spokesperson said there is a communications problem impacting Air Route Traffic Control Centers, which handle flights going across the country.

• Rare instance: The last time there was a nationwide ground stop was in January 2023, when a pilot notification system went down. Prior to that, the last nationwide ground stop was issued after the September 11, 2001, attacks.
