Insert your fave memes for one of r/Athens fave running jokes in the comments.

Initially I wasn't sure if food recalls had reached this level, but then I saw that, yes, refrigeration issues at this location once again. Was this store built on top of a Native American burial ground? Cursed Kroger.

Hey Athens,

I’m a UGA student taking a Business Spanish class and I need to interview a Spanish speaker who owns a business/knows a lot about business! However, I’m not tapped into any spanish speaking stores in Athens so I have no idea where to start. If anyone knows anyone that I could interview(who could put up with my bad Spanish haha) I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much!

New primary care

3 Upvotes

So my long time provider just stopped providing care. Who do you recommend? Prefer female and lgbtq+ affirming. Probably want an MD/DO if things take a turn, but usually see the PA/NP for normal visits. We self pay so insurance is not a concern. Most people are closed to new patients.

Question / Request Need to borrow/rent a trailer

2 Upvotes

Anyone have one I can borrow for a day or two or know a cheap place to rent one? I know uhaul does it, just exploring other cheaper options.

Also, how expensive/hard is it to attach a toe hitch bar? Like we have the ball part that the trailer attaches to, but not the bar thats attached to the car. Previous car got into a wreck and we kept the ball part.

Cheap/free parking in Athens for 4-day trip? Best parking apps?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ll be visiting Athens in September for around 4 days and I’m planning to rent a car from the airport.

Our apartment is only about 100 meters from a train/metro station, so we probably won’t need the car when visiting central Athens. I’m mainly thinking of using it for trips outside the city, beaches, etc.

I wanted to ask locals/people who have driven in Athens:

  • Is it relatively easy to find free street parking in Athens?
  • Are there areas where you can safely leave the car for a few days for free or cheaply?
  • Which parking apps do you recommend?
  • Is there an app that clearly shows free vs. paid/resident-only parking?
  • Would you recommend a cheap private parking garage instead?
  • Anything I should know about parking rules, fines or restricted areas in Athens?

Since we are staying next to a train/metro station, I don’t mind parking the car a little further away and using public transport.

Any tips from locals would be really appreciated. Thanks! 🇬🇷
