I’m an Augusta native with two kids, one of which is younger. I’m f38 now, divorced after a 3 year separation and have a fulfilling career. But I have no friendships of substance anymore, post divorce. I don’t come from a large family and I’m not a party person. I’m Wondering if there are Moms or/and dads like me out here that need a village too? because it’s the single loneliest thing- feeling like im stuck on an island.

work friendships are awesome but I’m lacking a village, my job is remote-ish. Financially, I have all the things I once prayed for but I have it alone and no person is an island.

I guess I’m hoping there’s more people like me who want a safe and stable village/ a community. if there are people like me out there I’d like to know. I’d love to know I’m not alone, this simply can’t be all there is.

Does anyone know of a flower shop or distributor that will sell wholesale in GA. My aunt used to own a flower business in South Carolina and has offered to help do our flowers for our wedding but she does not have a contact in CSRA. If anyone knows please drop their name or message me privately if that is better!

is ANYONE hiring for $12 - $15+? i don’t even care what i need to do or what the job asks, i just need something. i have a good resume and can’t seem to find anything, or am barely getting my application looked at before it is discarded randomly. i feel like i am having to chase down every manager to even get to the interview process of ANYTHING. so many of these application sites are bots or AI that are just filling my email with spam or jobs that don’t actually exist. please let me know where to look or who to call to do whatever the fuck 🫠

Hi all!

So i'm getting married next year around the Aiken area!

I'm going to pick my wedding dress up next weekend. I will need some alterations, was wondering who does the best alterations around the augusta area? Ive researched some but am hesitant on who to choose because of the reviews 😅

Also I still need a caterer and florist!

I appreciate any recommendations!!

If anyone needs some cheap Halloween candy or just candy for yourself the kroger on harper franklin has these items and a lot more for super cheap!! Its only the kroger on Harper Franklin though unfortunately.

Anyone would want to go to the haunted forest(Back To Nature Garden Center, 1815 Kissingbower Road, Augusta, GA 30904) rave together, i kinda want to go but if i go by myself, i would feel weird about it. Hit me up if you would like to go together. Most of my friend have plan with their girlfriend or boyfriend. So i am kinda left alone. I am 19m btw if that information matter.

Good afternoon,

Are there any places in and around Augusta that sell good pies? I'm not talking about pizza. I mean traditional pies, Apple etc.

I already found these places:

The boll weevil Cafe,

Lil mamas sweets and treats,

Teresas treats

Does anyone know any more places? Are there any bakeries like "the pie hole" in Atlanta somewhere in the area?

Hii, 20f and I need some female friends 😅 Some of my favorite hobbies are arts and crafts, bowling and baking! I would like friends who are down to talk and hang out often as am I (not on any clingy stuff tho). Let me know if you're interested! 😀

Food Not Bombs is partnering with The Book Tavern and Moth & Magpie next month to collect donations to help feed our neighbors!

Food Not Bombs is a grassroots collective that provides free vegan meals and clothing to people every Saturday at noon in the parking lot across from Sacred Heart. It's entirely volunteer run and has no requirements or limitations for who's allowed to help or eat. Every week, we feed about 30 people, and the number keeps growing.

Please consider donating at either of these events. A lot of the people we feed are unhoused and a bag or rice and a few cans of beans is so cheap and provides meals to people who might otherwise go hungry that day.

Heads up creative folks! I'm hosting another art night at Le Chat Noir this Wednesday, 7-9:30pm. $10 at the door. Our models this month are characters by Brown Beauty Magic, they're dressing up as Disney villains! It's BYOAS - Bring your own art supplies.

Issue No. 4 of The Augusta Clarion is out!

This week, we talked with the folks behind Misfit Theatre's Dracula, rounded up some Halloween happenings, and found a few more interesting things going on around Augusta.

There's also local art, a grant for Augusta firefighters, and some useful community resources.

I'm trying to make this a weekly paper that helps people discover more of Augusta—especially the smaller events, interesting people, and neighborhood stories that don't always get much attention.

If you know about something happening around town, I'd love to hear about it. Local events, unusual places, community projects, neighborhood history, or just something you think more Augustans should know about.

Here's this week's issue:

Hi everyone! Just moved to Augusta near Summerville campus with my husband and one year old from NYC.
I moved against my will lol ( bc my husband got a job offer here ) So I’m trying to see what’s in here to do since it’s very quit and peaceful which I love but at the same time I miss the chaos of NYC.
I worked in healthcare before ( administration & management ) I heard this area is having big major healthcare system.

Open to any kind of suggestions!

Many thanks 🙏

Hey I just found out there was supposed to be a kpot opening in augusta recently and i was searching online and saw that people have been saying they were supposed to open months ago but it seems like they kind of gave up and they might just toss the idea of ever opening the store. Does anyone have any updates on if they did actually give up on the store or should I still have my hopes up?

Anyone have an ortho y’all recommend? I’m looking into getting braces and wanted to know if you guys know of a good pricing ortho who has a good business around here. I’m active duty so maybe a veteran owned company? Thanks!

What's it like living here? Pros/cons? I am moving to Augusta for a new job and on Google and the actual website, it looks very nice. Seems like there is nice walking trails.

My partner is coming in town tonight, I'm new to the area and our fat asses are looking for an all you can eat sushi place. Shoot your recs down below.

Thx

What do you like about this city? What do you look forward to? How do you romanticize life here? Moving soon and everything online seems negative. No where is perfect, but for those who do enjoy their lives here what do you like about living in Augusta?

That pillar to the Confederate Dead on Broad Street is so fucking vile. I hate it. It's the worst part of this entire city bar none. It's just pro racism, pro slavery bullshit we have erected so close to memorials to a famous black man (James Brown). What bullshit chicanery by the city, to worship dead slavers so close to a man they fought and died to try and ensure he'd be born in chains.

This isn't like a call I'm gonna do anything, probably not even worth it to try and get as much as a petition as it will fall on deaf ears. But I'm tired of holding in how much I hate the racism monument.

Looking to make some extra money. Let me know if you need a dog walker! I’m in the Evans area. Toodles✌️

I’m looking for a contortion/flexibility training for adults. Not quite a stretch lab but something more intense. If not a particular business , then do you know of anyone who does it on the side maybe in a way that’s not quite found on Google or Instagram but a business that they run separately? I’m a bit desperate as this is something I’ve been dying to do for years.

I have an antique quilt I have acquired recently. It’s in very, let’s call it “well loved” condition. My mother and I are both skilled quilters and have decades of experience, but this is beyond our skill set. I was wondering if anyone in the CSRA knows of any professionals I can take this quilt to, to be both cleaned & repaired…. Or at least have it looked at to see if either is even possible. Thanks for any help!

Hey there, anyone else in the area a caver, or interested in caving? Augusta used to have a grotto (caving club) but it is long defunct. So I'm reaching out for kindred spirits who are looking to connect and adventure!
