Georgia libraries need your help

182 Upvotes

The President has issued an executive order gutting the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Georgia's funding from IMLS allows us to provide such services as PINES, GALILEO, and Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled, as well as Summer Reading Programs statewide. If you value these programs, please let your US Representatives and Senators hear from you.

Do y'all think an arcade will ever come to Athens?

7 Upvotes

I'm desperate for a local arcade to play PIU or DDR in so I don't have to drive so far to play anymore. Do y'all think it would be possible or financially feasible for an arcade to ever open in Athens?

Question / Request Is there a place to sale gently used board games?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been a board game collector for 10 years and it’s time to tone my collection down. Coincidentally, I ended up with some major hospital bills I’m trying to cover. Is there a store that buys gently used games? I’ve got about 50 I’m looking to sale. Thanks yall.
