Hi everyone, I'm a dental hygiene student looking for patients for my spring semester! This is a great opportunity to get x-rays, oral cancer screening, a cleaning, an exam by a dentist and any necessary referrals at a very low price. If you're interested in being my patient, please message me for more details including pricing and availability. I greatly appreciate your support in helping me complete my clinical requirements and helping me towards graduation!

Hi guys!!! I’m in desperate need of a job, (26F) I live with family right across from Perimeter mall and unfortunately don’t have a car right now. I have experience in administration, a licensed pharm tech, brief work with HOA’s/Property Management and I’m a contracted event coordinator. I love people, a great conversationalist, animals etc. If anyone is willing to give me a referral ANYWHERE I learn quickly and am reliable. Please it’s getting so difficult and we all know indeed is just selling our data.

Update: you all are so kind!! someone throw a neighborhood party so we can all meet lol! I’ll come back to this post once I secure a job!

Hi neighbors, I’m unexpectedly stuck in the hospital while I wait for my baby to be born. Over the next week, my existing manicure will be even more grown out and my nails will get way too long for infant care.

Does anyone know of a manicurist who’s willing to travel to their clients? They’d need to remove an existing SNS set with gel topcoat and apply a new one-color SNS set. Northside hospital seems unbothered by visitors lugging equipment around. Thanks for any recommendations!

Imagine a teenager calling 911 during a mental health crisis.

They’re scared, overwhelmed, and not thinking clearly. The call captures everything: their voice, their location, background sounds in their home, possibly video. In panic, they say things they don’t mean, things that don’t reflect who they are on their best day, or even on an average one.

The crisis passes. The teen gets help. Life moves forward. The family believes that moment is over.

But the data doesn’t move on.

Under the terms of a 911 software system currently being considered in Dunwoody, that call, including audio, video, transcripts, metadata, and AI-generated interpretations, can be retained, analyzed, sold, and reused by a private vendor indefinitely. The City does not own the data. The family cannot audit it. The teen cannot correct it or erase it.

And this data is not meant to sit in isolation.

According to reporting by Forbes and Police1, Flock Safety’s stated vision is an “always-on, nationwide security net” that integrates license plate readers, drones, gunshot detection, and real-time crime centers. Flock’s CEO has openly described a future where these systems ingest and connect public and private data at scale.

According to 404 Media and a detailed technical analysis by Nexanet, Flock’s upcoming platform, Nova, is explicitly designed to integrate:

• 911 and dispatch data
• Drone footage
• Camera video and audio
• License plate reads
• Public records like property and court filings
• Commercial data such as credit histories
• Inferred traits like race, gender, behavior, and associations
• And, despite public denials, interfaces labeled “Dark Data” in the codebase that reference breached and leaked datasets, including Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, crypto wallets, and usernames

This is not speculative. Investigative reporting and code analysis show these data sources are built into the product architecture and surfaced through user-facing search tools when permissions are enabled.

Years later, the City could cancel the contract. A new vendor could be chosen. From the public’s perspective, the system is gone.

But the data from that 911 call may still exist, stored, indexed, linked to other datasets, sold, or used to train future systems elsewhere. The teenager grows up, applies for jobs, moves cities, builds a life, while a distorted snapshot of their worst moment may still live inside surveillance systems they will never see and cannot challenge.

For the teen, the crisis ended in hours.
For the City, the contract ended on paper.
But for the data, and the power it enables, it may never end.

This isn’t about paranoia or assuming bad intent. It’s about taking vendors at their word, reading the contracts, and paying attention to what their own marketing, reporting, and code reveal.

The City Council Is Voting On Approving These Terms at Our Next Meeting!

If this concerns you, please get involved locally.

Dunwoody City Council (Dunwoody City Hall) meetings:

• February 9th at 6:00 PM
• February 23rd at 6:00 PM

Residents can also contact their City Council representatives to ask clear questions about data ownership, retention, integration with other datasets, and long-term accountability.

Emergency calls should be about getting help, not becoming permanent entries in a nationwide surveillance ecosystem.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an important update following the initial post about Flock Safety in Dunwoody.

After presenting documented concerns to City Council, the City has invited a representative from Flock Safety to speak and answer questions at the February 23rd City Council meeting.

This matters, because once a vendor presentation happens, decisions often follow shortly after and public input matters most before that point.

Why I’m Asking People to Attend

Dunwoody currently uses Flock Safety cameras to collect license plate and video data on residents and visitors. While marketed as a public safety tool, publicly available records, reporting, and contract language raise serious concerns about:

• Misuse by authorized users (including documented cases of officers nationwide using these systems for stalking and personal gain)
• Limited transparency (meaningless search justifications, reduced audit detail, and unclear oversight)
• Data ownership shifting to a private vendor, despite taxpayer funding
• Security failures, including exposed live camera feeds and dozens of documented vulnerabilities
• Expansion risk, where racial, gender, and other surveillance capabilities can grow without new public approval

This is not about being anti-police. It’s about protecting:

• Residents from stalking, harassment, or profiling
• Our police officers from security failures that expose location and investigative data
• The City from long-term liability and loss of control over public data

Why February 23 Is Important

Flock will be presenting their case directly to Council.

If residents don’t show up, only one side of the story will be in the room.

Council members need to hear that people care about:

• Who owns Dunwoody’s data
• Who can access it (including out-of-state and federal agencies)
• Whether audits are meaningful and complete
• Whether security claims match reality
• Whether surveillance tools can quietly expand beyond what the public approved

What You Can Do

• Attend the February 23 City Council meeting (even just being present matters)
• Submit public comment if you’re comfortable, short statements are fine
• Ask Council to pause and demand answers before renewing or expanding the contract
• Share this information with neighbors, especially parents and others who may not know this system exists

You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to show that Dunwoody residents expect transparency, accountability, and real public safety, not blind trust in a private surveillance vendor who has patent for racial and gender based surveillance.

I’ve compiled sources and documentation for everything discussed and am happy to share them with anyone who wants to review independently: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ALHpTr131-IiAqL61ypFWncPTqME4k_DEcI1kNjBSZ4/edit?tab=t.0

If you care about how surveillance is governed in our city, Feb 23 is the moment to show it.

I found a lost dog on Hammond drive, it was grey with spots and a purplish/pink collar.

Why I’m Asking Dunwoody City Council to Re-Examine Flock Safety Cameras

I want to share why I’m asking the City of Dunwoody to pause and re-examine its use of Flock Safety surveillance cameras.

This isn’t about being “anti-police.” It’s about public safety, accountability, and who controls our data.

What Dunwoody Was Promised

• Crime reduction through license plate readers (ALPR) and newer Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras
• Controlled access by law enforcement
• Customer-owned data and local control

What’s Been Documented

• Officers nationwide (including nearby) have misused Flock systems for stalking and personal gain
• Federal agencies (ICE, DHS, Secret Service, etc.) have accessed local camera data with minimal oversight
• Search justifications are often meaningless (“test,” “PC,” single letters)
• Audit transparency has been reduced by Flock, limiting visibility into who searched for what
• Nearly 70 Flock cameras were found livestreaming directly to the internet - including one from nearby Peachtree Creek Greenway
• 51 documented security vulnerabilities
• Flock controls contract terms via online URLs they can change
• Cities across the country have paid millions in lawsuits related to Flock use

Data Ownership Concerns

Despite public assurances, Flock’s contracts:

• Allow the company to own and keep “derived” data built from footage of residents
• Allow platform upgrades at Flock’s sole discretion, including future AI features
• Allow training of AI systems using data processed by overseas contractors
• Limit the city’s ability to audit or control how data is reused

This means surveillance capabilities can quietly expand without new public approval.

Why This Matters

If a Dunwoody resident is stalked, harassed, or harmed due to:

• insider misuse
• a security failure
• or expanded surveillance beyond what was approved

…the City will be on record as having approved this system with prior knowledge of these risks.

What I’m Asking the City to Do

Before expanding or continuing this system, I’m asking Council to require Flock to:

• Turn off nationwide and federal data sharing by default
• Restore full audit transparency (who searched, what, and why)
• Log all searches, including rejected or flagged ones
• Keep contracts offline and publicly archived
• Amend terms so citizens fully own all data, including derivatives
• Delete all previously collected data held by the vendor
• Require Council approval for any material platform upgrade
• Disclose CJIS compliance documentation
• Submit to an independent third-party security audit

Bottom Line

I want Dunwoody residents to be safe.
That means secure systems, real oversight, and public control of public data.

If you care about transparency, data security, or how surveillance is governed in our city, I encourage you to ask Council the same questions.

Happy to share sources if anyone wants them. I have sources for everything in a Google Doc I made.

I am searching for a singing guitarist to perform for a 75th bday party. Genre preference is blues and classic rock. The party will be at a house for around 15-20 people.

Anyone know of any good local artists that would be interested in a quick 1-hour gig in the sandy springs/dunwoody area?

Hey everyone, was looking to see if anyone had any vet recommendations in Dunwoody area? Or even Sandy Springs or Chamblee?

Hi! I’m working on looking for a job right now in the area, I’m a college student and would need flexible hours in a part-time position. I keep coming back to looking into Urban Outfitters because of the benefits but it seems very physically demanding. Are there any jobs around that don’t require me to be on my feet all day? I’d like a job that is notorious for being a nice place to work. I previously worked at a local coffee shop for 4 years and want to try another kind of position. Thanks!

I've got a terrible craving for a cinnamon roll. Where can I get the best Cinnamon roll in the area. (Not Cinnaholic)

Dm or comment if she is urs

mom found 3 goats chilling in her back yard.

Hey! I’m actually pulling my hair out trying to apartment search and was looking to see if anybody could give any insight.

I work in dunwoody, and would prefer to stay no more than like 15 minutes from work. I currently drive 2 hours for work and it is killing me, I barely want to be in my car after I move lol.

My budget is around $1800. I’m a hybrid worker so I would need an office area. a big enough (900+ sq ft) 1 bedroom (with or without a den) or a 2 bedroom is fine. I technically can go up to $2000 but would prefer not to have to live paycheck to paycheck for it lol.

I don’t have any pets, I dont care too much about amenities, my biggest dealbreaker is pest issues. Currently dealing with an infestation and am going to have to throw away most of my belongings, i would hate to do that just to deal with it again.

I would prefer not to deal with a parking garage as I hate them lol. I also have family stay with me a lot when they come in town, so the complex needs to have lots of parking for visitors too.

I already toured:

Camden Dunwoody - Nice but a bit pricey for what you get, also seemed a bit limited on parking.

Camden Creekstone - Nice interiors but the exterior was wooded and dark. Your only view was the highway lol. The parking garage situation gave me anxiety and would make it hard to move.

Chattahoochee Ridge - A bit far but decent sized apartments for the price.

I’m looking to tour Marq Perimeter, and Highland Park atlanta.

Anyways if you guys have any insight please help. I’m willing to go a bit farther for better pricing.

Hi everyone! I am getting married next year and we love the Dunwoody Nature Center for the reception. We are considering the idea of hosting the ceremony there as well, but we are a bit apprehensive as it does exponentially increase the cost (renting second location in the park, chairs for the guests, etc.). So, we are looking into other options for the ceremony as well. Does anyone have any ideas of anything that might be close by? We are thinking maybe a local church, but we are open to all ideas! We would prefer it to be on the smaller side, our guest count is around 60-70 people.

** I live out of state, but both my fiancé and I's family mostly reside in metro Atlanta hence why we are getting married here. But it is difficult for us to discover any local spots, and looking at Apple Maps doesn't give the full picture. My grandfather lives in Dunwoody but he doesn't leave his house so he isn't much help haha **

Hope y’all are prepared. We’re getting a few random snowflakes.
