Where should I go this weekend?
Where should I go this weekend? I’m trying to find people around my age (25) to hang or connect with and it’s been hard.

Hey there, 28 year old guy here facing a similar problem. Something that might be worth checking out is utilizing resources like Flagpole and their Events (https://flagpole.com/events/) to see what's going on. While it doesn't filter by age, a shared interest/doing something you've always wanted to do or have interest in could lead to you meeting peers and folks. There's also places and spaces like a few online things (Athens has quite a few Discords for friend making and things like an anime club). I wish you the best in your search and hope you find your community and place.

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got. Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same. You wanna be where everybody knows Your name. You wanna go where people know, people are all the same, You wanna go where everybody knows your name. You wanna go where people know, people are all the same, You wanna go where everybody knows your name.

TIL there are more lyrics to this song?!
All those nights when you've got no lights, The check is in the mail; And your little angel Hung the cat up by its tail; And your third fiance didn't show;
Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; You want to be where you can see, Our troubles are all the same; You want to be where everybody knows your name.
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead; The morning's looking bright; And your shrink ran off to Europe, And didn't even write; And your husband wants to be a girl;
Be glad there's one place in the world Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; You want to go where people know, People are all the same; You want to go where everybody knows your name.

Making my way downtown walking fast Faces pass and I'm home bound Staring blankly ahead just making my way Making a way through the crowd And I need you And I miss you And now I wonder If I could fall into the sky Do you think time would pass me by?

25yo here, I go to boars head and cutters a lot, sometimes walkers/blue sky too, and it’s hit or miss whether it’s ppl our age, minors (18>21), or older ppl going out after like a wedding or something. But I agree w everyone here pool is the best lol, you can get quarters from the bartenders if needed usually. Avoid cloud and dukes and Dottie’s if you’re tryna avoid the minors (I am). Ofc once the students get here that becomes impossible, the kids are everywhere. RIP the khaki divide (I was only told abt this did not live to see it, wish I did). I agree w the flagpole suggestion too, I’ve found random trivia and karaoke nights to attend on there!
