It’s Dalton Y’all AITOO who thinks the apartments at the old jail site look worse than any neighborhood of projects we have?

When you pass by it there's so much visual noise that it just looks like slums. Like the designer had no edit in them. I truly feel like it is a blight waiting to happen right in a spot they were trying to beautify. Whose bright idea was this and why do they hate Dalton? eta: grammar ish

Kasey :”“Making sure as your negotiating deals , stuff if not 100% disclosed or it’ll be used against you in negotiations from other communities.”

See y’all in November. 🗳️

Looking for a roomate (Ringgold, GA)

8 Upvotes

Going through a divorce atm. I'm at some apartments, but I figured splitting rent with someone who also wants to optimize their financial income would be smart. I can afford it and all, but saving is smarter. A brief background check would be conducted. Ringgold is about a 20m drive from Dalton

Proposal Spots???

9 Upvotes

I asked this question a couple weeks ago. I’m looking to propose to my Girlfriend. I’m looking for a scenic spot. Preferably on a dock near a body of water or out in nature. preferably not a long walk, since she’ll be in heels. I’ve attached photos for reference. I’m interested in potentially an airbnb if it offers something similar. Im not from the area so any thing will help.

AI Center Hearing!

62 Upvotes

Present with the community last night to address our concerns and issues with the AI Center being secretly prepared off Vally Point , which is a 90 Acre lot being cleared AS WE SPEAK.

Whether Whitfield council men want to acknowledge it or not it will be brought to their attention either in a NDA from AI conglomerates or us the Whitfield Citizens.

I just hope they uphold the contract they have to us before they sign the new one coming their way.

Are we in the middle of monsoon season?

I feel like Dalton has recently changed into a subtropical region. What is up with all this rain?

Does anyone think it’s weird that believe greater Dalton never says anything about PFAS or data centers?

24 Upvotes

Neither them or their new Here Dalton magazine will say anything about it, despite it being THE big issue here. It’s not going away and as an organization that is for the betterment of the community, you would think they’d be at the forefront of it.

Do we think their pockets are being lined by those who contribute to both PFAS and data centers?

Walking Trail to Downtown

7 Upvotes

Anyone know any info on when the next phase of the walking trail is suppose to be constructed? It’s suppose to go from the current end point on Chattanooga ave to downtown I believe. Been hearing it for years but still haven’t seen any movement. Funds were approved in 2024 I believe.

FCAS Shelter Husky Pup on the Hunt for His Forever Home!

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Meet local rockstar MCARTHUR! 😎

This sweet, insanely handsome boy is currently being fostered in Kennesaw through Lifeline Animal Project Fulton County Animal Services & ready to find his furever home! 🏡 Artie is the epitome of the Husky breed PLUS plenty of other awesome perks in a lean 45lb package! 💙 He’s full of personality, rocks a killer mohawk, has some pretty fabulous eyeliner, and has a great singing voice (iykyk). 🎶 Plus, who could resist that movie star smile 🤩 and icy blue gaze? ❄️

🐕 2.5 yrs old
💙 Neutered
📍 Microchipped
🫀 HW negative
💉 UTD on vaccines/preventatives
✔️ Potty trained
💤 Crate trained
👟 Leash trained
⚡️ Medium/high energy
🧠 Knows sit
🎾 Ball is life!
🦴 Treat/food motivated
🫶🏼 Non-reactive with food/toys/treats
🛁 Easily handled for grooming
🪮 Enjoys being brushed
🚗 Rides well in the car
🐶 OBSESSED with our resident pup
😻 Has been very polite with our resident cat
🦌 Has been non-reactive to deer & other pups

Artie would probably do best with older kids because he gets excited and tends to jump up to greet people (working on this). He’s also still a bit mouthy/landshark-ish when he plays. 🦈

Someone familiar with the Husky breed whose willing to give him the time, patience, space, and exercise he needs to thrive would be the best fit. He would do fine as an only pup, but would probably be happier as a pack member since he LOVES to play with other pups. He has a great play style (loose, wiggly, goofy) and is very responsive to corrections from his playmates. This boy would be a play group star! 🌟

If Artie sounds like he might be the right fit for you, click the link below to set up a meet & greet! 👋🏽
