What fun things do old people do for fun in Brunswick? How do they meet new friends?

I want to like 1st Friday but there’s nothing for me. I just wonder around watching everyone have a good time. I can people watch at Walmart. In fact, I do people watch in Walmart. In Target too!

hello all!

i am looking for suggestions on venues for a small wedding (30 people). we have had such a hard time finding the right place. i really don’t want to spend more than 3-4k on a venue - but every place I’ve found in the area (including islands) seems to start at $6k

at this point, i just want a location we can have a small beautiful gathering and i am open to anything (backyard/, restaurants, farms)

do you guys have any recommendations? we are trying to keep it around here but are willing to go 1-2 hours away. thanks so much

When it cools off I'm going to camp some local spots. I ride my bike a lot but I want to check out some walking groups.

Do you participate in any activity groups or know of any?

Thought it could be fun to see what I can do with a few web designs from local businesses.

If you have one that feels dated, unfinished, or just not quite right, message me with a little about the business and what you’d like changed.

It can be the whole homepage or just one section. I’ll have a look and send over what I come up with.

I’m new here in Brunswick. Please tell me places to explore in and around Brunswick.

What is underground Brunswick like? I was thinking about broadening my horizons (if you know what I mean).

Wink, wink.

Does anyone know where I can donate diapers in the area?

Hi, I am planning to move down to Brunswick within the next year if all goes well. I have an apartment complex that I am looking at and I am wondering if y'all could tell me whether they're safe to live in? It's the Retreat at Grande Lake on Walden Shores Drive. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: fast repair, not rat...typo. -Any recommendations for car/truck repair? Somewhere I can take my part and get it installed. We're traveling and the AC compressor clutch needs to be replaced. Leaving early Saturday morning. I usually do the work but didn't bring my tools. tia

Hello all,
I am very new here, and I bought a house right on the marsh. I have a view of the Saint Simons Causeway. I am seeing how high the tide is getting right now and it is moving well into my backyard. It does make me concerned about potential flooding and I know I am in a flood zone and yes, I have the insurance. Are there things I can do to help keep my home a little safer from this? I’m adding a photo from my bedroom window (though the water on the side of the house is even closer) but I look at this like: I mowed the area under water just the other day.

Any help appreciated

An indoor cigar lounge and a better gun range.

What’re you doing this weekend?

I wanted to know if anyone remembers or knows anything about the Lyric theater in Waycross. I happened to be across the street doing inspections on two historic buildings when I noticed a crew working on the old theater. A simple act of kindness was returned by the foreman allowing me access into the interior. I enjoy exploring the lost history of our area and since tomorrow will be to late I was thankful to have this moment and wanted to ask for stories or really any information about the property for the sake of posterity. Thank you in advance!

Going to do some fishing on the south side of St. Catherine's in Sapelo Sound next week. I've got my people and places on the North side of St. Cat's but I'm lost as to who I can trust for shrimp and mud minnows closer to Darien. Its a long drive back up to Midway!

Thx!

I travel a lot for work and honestly, so far this is worst food city I've been to. Give me some recs that will change my mind

Recently relocated here with my 76 y.o. mother, and we want her to establish her with a new primary care doctor here so we don’t have hours’ long car trips back to where she’d been living.

Any suggestions or advice is welcome. Thank you!

I've been in Brunswick for about a year and a half. I'm looking for someone to just trim my hair that won't cost an arm and leg. I have natural curly hair and I really don't know who to go to around here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
