I have been hired by a local fire extinguisher company and I’m looking to get in touch with
As many safety managers as I can around the area all the way up to Jefferson and as far down as Macon. The problem is that these positions aren’t normally posted on website and easily accessible. Besides just calling every warehouse and building in the area to find them. Would anyone maybe know a trick to getting in touch with people in these positions to show them how my company can save them money?

Emergency funds help Gwinnett area. Emergency rent situation. Any pointers??

I’m looking for more bakeries! I’ve been to GA French Bakery and had their delicious croissants, but I’d love to try some more places.

EDIT: Well now I have SO MANY places to try! Thank you so much, everyone!

I’m wondering if anyone knows of a good place that does adult frenectomies (tongue tie release) that also does myofunctional therapy (basically physical therapy for your face).

Looks like most of these places are in Atlanta, which is fine, but I’m still researching different places. It’s expensive so I may have to wait a bit lol. 😛

Hi I’m a student in college recently just left my full time job to go back to school. Now I would like to do school full time and use the rest of the time for myself but unfortunately I like to stay productive and always learn something new. Is there any business or companies in gwinnett that is actively offering part time/ seasonal/ internships for college students?

Currently majoring in Engineering Tech, considering business or marketing as well.

I also have experience in commercial sales and the automotive industry.

Hey y'all.

Looking for recommendations for a reasonable-cost bathroom remodel. The bathroom is a really small footprint and hasn't been touched since the 90s at least (except for a god-awful cherry red paint job). Want to remove the tub, do a walk in shower, retile the floor. The works.

We've gotten some quotes from big brand name companies that were truly outrageous. Would love to support a local business that's done good work for one of you.

EDIT: Budget around $8k.

Hi. Looking for recommendations for a realtor in the N/E Atl area (Tucker, Snellville, and surrounds). This is for a buyer. TIA

There is just too many police in Norcross and Duluth like its excessive. Most time there just pulling people over for traffic violations and hiding out in bushes. There kinda of a nuscence to us now.

Has anybody ever thought about creating a group where people who are getting hired actually help other people get hired?
For example, say you land a job somewhere and they’re hiring more people. If someone in this community has a similar background, experience, or credentials, why not give them a good look? Put their name in front of the hiring manager, refer them, or even offer to be a reference if you genuinely believe they’d be a good fit.
There are a lot of people who are qualified for jobs but struggle to get past that first step because they don’t have the right connections.
I’m not talking about blindly recommending strangers or putting your reputation on the line for someone you don’t know. I’m talking about building an actual network where people help each other when they can.
“I got in, so let me help somebody else get in too.”
Would anybody in Gwinnett actually be interested in something like this? Or does a group like this already exist?

Ps: It’s my words, but I had ChatGPT arrange it for professionalism of the post.

Ok. I'm giving this a try as my mental health has taken a huge dip, and making friends is hard.

I'm a 33 year old mom of 2.

Cozy gamer (stardew, pokemon, pokopia, palworld, etc)

I love crafts (cross stitch, crochet, sewing)

Reading

Collecting

Music preference is all over the place from rock to straight up musicals.

I like to go to karaoke if I'm ever invited.

LGBT friendly

I don't drink, just for my own personal health. But ok with friends that do.

I'd like to start a crafting meet up or something 🥹

Starting over in gwinnett and looking to get active again. Anyone know any adult basketball and tennis classes for beginners?

I am moving to suwannee and excited but also a bit worried seeing how much of it seems very car dependent. I am aware of the downtown area, but are there other areas where you can walk to public things like restaurants/bars that are in the north gwinnett high school zone? I used to live in a very walkable area in a city downtown which obviously i know its different moving to the suburbs, but some suburbs are still walkable.

My car needs some repair work. Anyone have a trustworthy mechanic/shop that will actually properly do the job and won't try to upsell me on some bullshit? I've had pretty bad luck with mechanics/shops in the past, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Where is a good spot to buy loose leaf tea? I live in Lawrenceville - Mall of GA area.

Context: I lived in Decatur for a couple of years, but moved out earlier this year to stay with family while reassessing my living situation. Staying with family wasn’t sustainable and was isolating from my social life.

I found myself missing my ATL social connections, even if they aren’t strong. My social life consists of two weekly events across ATL I like to attend, specifically west ATL and Decatur. These gatherings are my primary way of staying connected.

Present dilemma: After weeks of searching around ATL and surrounding suburbs, I found a lovely private studio in Duluth in a quiet neighborhood, no shared walls, nice landlord, good build quality. Everything else in my budget ($1,300-1,400/month maximum) in the perimeter seems to have consistent reviews mentioning weed smell, trash, break-ins, noise issues, and unresponsive management. I know city living comes with occasional noise and incidents, but it’s hard to discern which properties are actually decent, especially with my health needs.

The catch: from Duluth it’s 40-60 minutes to West ATL and 30-45 minutes to Decatur, both via I-85 and 285. ATL traffic stresses me out even on good days, but as a remote worker I can be flexible with timing.

So my question is if choosing a more sensory/health friendly apartment is worth being farther from my social connections if it’s only once a week and on a weekend. Or is this isolating and not worth the distance?

The Board of Commissioners meets Tuesday (10am work session, 2pm business session). From the official agenda:

The property tax appeal system is apparently swamped. Commissioners are asking the Grand Jury to expand from one Board of Equalization to eight, just to handle appeal volume for tax year 2026 (2026-1058). Alongside it: a proposal to switch hearing officers from $175 per parcel to a flat $385 per hour (2026-1073). If you followed the millage and assessment discussion here last week, this is the other side of that story: enough people are appealing that the county needs seven more boards to process them.

Retiree health benefits, two moves at once: a ~$586K increase to the current Humana Medicare Advantage contract, plus a new 2027 contract just under $7.9M (2026-1085).

Where the money's going:

• $2.4M renewal with Xylem for water and sewer valve inspection, the fourth and final renewal before this goes back out to bid (2026-1036)
• $2M for watershed improvements required under county water permits (2026-1020)
• $1.67M in traffic signal hardware, 2017 SPLOST funded (2026-1038)
• A painting and maintenance contract getting a $188K mid-year bump to $1.47M because Parks and Rec ran through it faster than expected (2026-1055)
• $274K to redo the restrooms and locker rooms at Bethesda Park Aquatic Center. Fun detail from the bid file: the county solicited 400 vendors and got 2 bids (2026-1066)

Public comment is at the 2pm business session. Every item number is searchable on gwinnettcounty.com, so check my work. Full version with charts: The Gwinnett Docket, free plain-English email a week on what your commissioners actually vote on.
