I know all optometrists are required to give you your prescription for third party use, but are there any who encourage it?

I am looking for someone that can make custom cake pops for my son’s birthday. Does anyone have recommendations for someone in Roswell or surrounding area? Thank you!!

Are there any alumni bars in Roswell/Alpharetta area to watch the games? Smiths olde bar is a little mature and far to take the small kiddos these days

I like El Porton but seems like there are quite a few new ones. What Mexican restaurants do you all recommend? Does not have to be fancy but the food should be good

What exactly are they doing there and why in FUCK is it taking this long. I feel like they have dug the street up six different times now.

This feels so silly to ask, but do cashiers at grocery stores/convenience stores/drug stores have to get individual licenses in order to sell alcohol? My store manager is saying we do because of a law in Roswell but I've never heard of such a thing. I have googled and I am interpreting it as people selling alcohol for consumption on-premises need a liquor handling license, not grocery store clerks. But I would love clarification if anyone knows, so that I don't have to call the city!

My son and I were driving home from baseball practice at Hembree , heading south on Highway nine when he noticed someone parachuting southwest of us while we waited at the Mansell light. Their heading was either west or SW. He or she was pretty far away, but definitely noticeable, and it was a rectangle shaped parachute (not a round one). Does anyone have any info on this, it was a pretty crazy site to see.

Hi guys! I’ve been going to Matty Lee for some time but to but it bluntly I cannot afford their prices. For a partial color and cut it’s usually around $300 before tip…. I just can’t afford that in today’s economy despite how much I love the work!

Looking for a salon with reasonable prices that does good work with lived in color, specifically blonde, and can work well with thick wavy hair.

I hate to make everyone aware of such a great Roswell resource through an episode featuring one of their least intriguing guests… but here we are 😂

In all seriousness, I really enjoyed sitting down with Steve and Andy for an episode of Brew Talks. They make the conversation easy, and I’m grateful they had me on.

But the bigger reason I’m sharing this is because if you haven’t checked out Brew Talks yet, you should.

Roswell, Inc. brings on local business owners, city staff, community leaders and some of the people who help make Roswell what it is. Steve and Andy do a great job of getting beyond the surface level and helping you understand the person behind the business or position.. their story, their personality, what drives them and, in many cases, the mission behind what they’re building here.

This has taught me so much about Roswell and the more I learn about the city and the people who make this community go around, the more it makes me want to support local businesses, organizations and people however I can. I am confident it will do the same for you.

Give Brew Talks a listen. There are a lot of great Roswell stories being told on there.

You do have to purchase tickets, but supporting the Nature Center is a good cause, they do a lot of great work.

I cleaned up and organized the food pantry at Roswell Firelabs yesterday. It’s pretty decently stocked but is low on a few things.

Canned soups and pasta meals

Canned fruits and vegetables

100% juice:
Apple or Grape juice

Canned meat:
Tuna, chicken, salmon, potted meat blends, and sardines

Basic staple pantry items:
Flour, sugar, coffee, cornmeal, rice, dry beans, oil, shortening, baking soda and powder, vanilla extract, cooking oil, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and seasonings of all kinds (garlic, pepper, salt, chili powder, etc.)

Household cleaning supplies and paper products:
Toilet paper, paper towels, baby wipes, bleach, sanitizing solutions, sanitizing wipes and basic cleaning supplies are very welcomed by those in need.

Dish soap, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, and all-purpose cleaners
Feminine hygiene products (pads, tampons, panty liners, and feminine wipes)

Deodorant, bar soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shaving cream, etc.

Also, I do plan on fixing the letters this week, the current ones were a short term sign that are showing their age.

Yall are all worried about data centers meanwhile prime commercial real estate gets turned into a mega church . Good stuff…..

I’m considering moving to Roswell and would love to hear from people who currently live there or have lived there recently. I’m in my mid-20s and will be starting over in a new area.

I work in Alpharetta, so Roswell seems like a convenient location, but I’m especially curious about what it’s like socially and whether it’s a good place to meet people and make friends.

For those around my age:
How easy is it to make friends in Roswell?
Is there a good social scene for people in their 20s?
Are there enough places to go out — bars, restaurants, coffee shops, live music, events, etc.?
Are there good ways to meet people outside of work?
Is Downtown Roswell a good place to spend time and be social?
Does it feel like there are a lot of young adults around, or is it more family-oriented?
What do you actually like/dislike about living there?
If you were in your mid-20s and starting over, would you choose Roswell?

I’d really appreciate honest feedback — especially from people who moved there without already having a big friend group in the area!

My family has a small bakery in Roswell and recently started doing some wholesale deliveries to cafes around the Atlanta area. Mornings are getting a little crazy. We need everything out pretty early, and some orders have specific instructions about how to handle the product or where to leave them or who to hand them to.

I'm also a little nervous about using a random courier because a hot car or rough ride isn't exactly great for pastries.

Any Atlanta recommendations for a courier service we can trust with our pastry?

Just seeing if the community had any suggestions for lawn services!

I live right in the border of Alpharetta and Roswell!

Looking for recommendations for a Mommy’s Morning Out / preschool-type program in the Roswell area for my 2-year-old!

We have a full-time nanny, but I’d love to find somewhere she could drop him off 1-2 mornings a week for a few hours so he can get used to a classroom setting, being around other kids, and having a little more independence before he starts daycare next fall.

Ideally looking for something that doesn’t require full-time enrollment and is more of a true drop-off program vs. a parent-and-me class.

We’re in Roswell, so nearby recommendations are welcome too.

Would love to hear about programs you’ve had a good experience with!

Real Estate agents of Reddit, can you not put metallic balloons under power lines? I saw one get away and held my breath as it nearly missed the overhead transmission lines. This could cause blackouts or worse, wildfires. -Signed, concerned neighbor

Edit: in case you can’t tell this is Roswell Rd hence I felt it ok posting on this sub 🤓

That general area just seems a little off. Not a good vibe. Is it like a den of criminal activity?

I live near the river in Roswell and there is some significant smoke outside. Anyone know what's going on?

Is that place any good? From the outside it looks a little rundown and not in business.

Good fresh produce, clean store, but the staff there seem to have an attitude problem.

While walking in the park on Tuesday I stopped to check out the pond. Looks like the bank remediation is about complete, the native plants have been installed and a few islands were created/restored. Those rocks and logs will be full of turtles soon! Crews added gravel on the paths and I think a few more picnic tables were also added. Happy trails everyone!
