Decatur Metro

Decatur Metro From reporting news, to saving animals, to helping auction a $2,000+ beer. For 7+ years, it's been all the mess of community. We laugh together.

For 7+ years, Decatur Metro has worked to strengthen the community of Decatur, GA. Yes we "report news" to some extent, but we do other things that are just as, if not more, important. We mourn together. We talk about our favorite places. We save animals in distress, wild and domesticated. We try our best to have difficult, yet respectful conversations. We help do wacky things - like help auction

off $2,000+ beers, create fake ads about the city, and promote Little Free Libraries before they were cool. Come check us out! You won't want to miss the comments section.
