Indian Motorcycle has officially unveiled its 2026 lineup, marking what the industry calls a "cyclic year" — a season of refinements rather than revolutions. The big story is the debut of the Sport Scout RT, a bold new addition to the Scout family that bridges the gap between performance cruiser and light sport-tourer. With its 1250cc liquid-cooled engine producing 105 horsepower, moto-style bars, 19-inch front wheel, and locking hard bags, the Sport Scout RT delivers both aggression and practicality. Starting at $16,999 and available in Black Smoke, Sunset Red Metallic, and Chalk, it's the most performance-oriented Scout yet. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Beyond the new model, Indian's 2026 range sees fresh paint, updated graphics, and new accessories across its Scout, Chief, and Touring lines. The PowerPlus baggers and tourers continue largely unchanged, aside from color updates and new accessory options like handlebars, seats, luggage liners, and audio upgrades. While Indian continues to appeal to younger riders with modern tech and styling, the brand still lacks a truly low-cost entry model—a gap that could become crucial as the next generation of riders leans toward $6K–$8K machines. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Overall, Indian's 2026 strategy focuses on refinement and appeal rather than reinvention. The Sport Scout RT is a standout move that adds excitement to the lineup, offering a stylish and capable option for riders who want performance without sacrificing comfort. As Indian and Harley-Davidson continue to battle for market share and younger customers, competition is fueling innovation—and that's great news for riders.

Top Stories for November 8th Publish Date: November 8th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, November 8th and Happy Birthday to Margaret Mitchell I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Lawrenceville's Hooper-Renwick Themed Library earns Redevelopment Project of the Year honors Rick Case Bikes for Kids Accepting Bicycle Donations Gwinnett Tech boards earn statewide honors for exemplary leadership and governance All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: Lawrenceville's Hooper-Renwick Themed Library earns Redevelopment Project of the Year honors The Hooper-Renwick Themed Library in Lawrenceville just snagged the title of Medium Redevelopment Project of the Year at the Metro Atlanta Redevelopment Summit—and honestly, it’s well-deserved. This isn’t just a library. It’s a reimagining of the historic Hooper-Renwick School, once the only public school for Black students in Gwinnett County. Now, it’s a space that blends the past and present—a library, a museum, a place for storytelling and connection. The project preserves the school’s legacy while creating a vibrant community hub. STORY 2: Rick Case Bikes for Kids Accepting Bicycle Donations Got an old bike collecting dust? Rick Case Bikes for Kids is back, and they’re asking the community to help spread some holiday magic. Through Dec. 20, Rick Case dealerships are accepting gently used bicycles to give to kids who might not otherwise have one. For 44 years, this program has delivered over 122,000 bikes to children through groups like Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, and local schools. “A first bike is unforgettable,” says Rita Case, CEO of Rick Case Automotive Group. “For many of these kids, it’s their first taste of freedom.” Drop-offs are easy—locations in Duluth and Roswell are open daily. STORY 3: Gwinnett Tech boards earn statewide honors for exemplary leadership and governance Gwinnett Technical College is having a moment—two big milestones worth celebrating. First, the Gwinnett Tech Foundation Board of Trustees was named a 2025 Role Model Board, a pretty big deal in the world of technical education. Why? Because it’s only given to boards that go above and beyond in leadership, advocacy, and making a real difference. And then there’s this: for the 16th year in a row, every single member of the Gwinnett Tech Board of Directors earned certification. Sixteen years! That’s dedication. “These achievements show just how committed our boards are to student success and workforce development,” said Dr. Glen Cannon, Gwinnett Tech’s president. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: Stolen trailer leads Gwinnett police to cache of guns and drugs in Doraville home What started as a stolen trailer report in Norcross turned into something much bigger—a stash of guns and drugs uncovered in Doraville, according to Gwinnett County police. It began on Oct. 30, when officers used Flock license plate readers to track the stolen trailer to a vehicle tied to Matthew Davis. A visit to Davis’s home revealed the trailer, now sporting a swapped license plate. But that wasn’t all. A search warrant led officers to more than 30 firearms, fentanyl, meth, and prescription drugs inside the house. No charges yet, but detectives are asking for tips. STORY 5: Mall of Georgia preparing for the holidays and visits with Santa Santa’s back at the Mall of Georgia, and he’s ready for his close-up! You can catch him at the Simon Photo Experience all the way through Christmas Eve. Pro tip: hours vary, so snag a reservation if you can. But Santa’s not just sticking to photos—he’s making the rounds. On Nov. 15, he’ll join the Grinch and Papa Elf for the Tree Lighting Ceremony (7 p.m.), complete with live reindeer, face painting, and *The Polar Express*. Got a furry friend? Pet photos with Santa are happening Nov. 23, 6:30–8:30 p.m. And for families with special needs, there’s a quieter event Dec. 7, 8:30–10 a.m. STORY 6: FIRST LOOK: COhatch Lawrenceville set to open Monday COhatch is bringing its coworking magic to Lawrenceville, opening Monday, Nov. 10, at 190 S. Clayton St. This isn’t your typical office—it’s 30 private offices, four meeting rooms, event space, and even a patio for when you need a little fresh air (or just an excuse to work outside). The vibe? Community-focused. Think high-speed internet, shared kitchens, and spaces designed to connect people from all walks of life. “We want to create inspiring spaces right in the heart of neighborhoods,” says COhatch CEO Matt Davis. STORY 7: Gwinnett Stripers Launch 'Hooked on Books' Reading Program The Gwinnett Stripers are stepping up to the plate with *Hooked on Books*—their first-ever free reading program for elementary students in Gwinnett County. Here’s the deal: read four books, “round the bases,” and score two free tickets to a 2026 Stripers game. Teachers and staff? You’re in on the free tickets, too. Schools can join in two ways: - **Campus Assembly:** Chopper the Groundhog and friends bring the hype with a 30-minute pep rally (if you’re within 15 miles of Coolray Field). - **Virtual Option:** A fun video and all the details sent straight to you. The program runs Jan. 12–March 16, with an April 1 deadline. Details at GoStripers.com.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 6th Publish Date: November 6th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, November 6th and Happy birthday to Glen Frey I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett stepping in to help as SNAP benefits partially cut Gwinnett passes latest round of E-SPLOST Democrats take rare statewide election wins Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 2 STORY 1: Gwinnett stepping in to help as SNAP benefits partially cut Gwinnett County is stepping up—big time. With SNAP benefits slashed and the federal shutdown dragging on, officials announced $250,000 to help six local co-ops keep families afloat. “This is urgent,” said Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson. “Over 90,000 Gwinnettians rely on SNAP, and federal employees are already going without pay. The need is only growing.” The funds, pulled from leftover summer lunch program money, will stock essentials like peanut butter, flour, and even dish detergent. The co-ops—Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Duluth, North Gwinnett, Southeast Gwinnett, and Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries—will divide the supplies and distribute them countywide. Meanwhile, the Sheriff’s Office is gearing up for its Thanksgiving food giveaway, expecting to serve 3,000 families. And on Veterans Day, the county’s Stand Down event will offer food, haircuts, and health screenings for veterans and their families. STORY 2: Gwinnett passes latest round of E-SPLOST  Gwinnett voters have spoken—again. On Tuesday, nearly 70% said “yes” to keeping the extra penny sales tax for schools, marking the seventh time since 1997 that E-SPLOST has passed. It’s never failed. “Thank you, Gwinnett voters, for putting students first,” said Interim Superintendent Al Taylor. The $1.5 billion raised will fund everything from new roofs and security upgrades to air-conditioned buses and updated Chromebooks. Not everyone’s thrilled, though. Critics like Laura Hunt argue the school board’s spending is out of control. Still, many parents, like Sara Gard, see it differently. “It’s hard to cheer for more taxes, but investing in our kids? That’s worth it.” STORY 3: Democrats take rare statewide election wins   In a rare shake-up, two Democrats flipped the script on Tuesday, breaking the GOP’s total hold on Georgia’s Public Service Commission. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard ousted Republican incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson, riding a wave of frustration over rising utility bills and calls for cleaner energy. Their wins mark a rare statewide victory for Democrats, who haven’t seen much success here since Ossoff and Warnock’s Senate wins. The PSC, which regulates utilities, now has a 3-2 Republican majority—but Democrats now have a voice. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: AROUND TOWN: Snellville police named one of Georgia's top law enforcement agencies  Snellville’s police department just gave its residents another reason to brag—actually, make that two. The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety named the department one of Georgia’s best, awarding first place for Distracted Driving Enforcement and Education and second place overall for departments with 46-75 officers in this year’s Governor’s Challenge. “This reflects the hard work of every officer,” the department shared on Facebook. And this isn’t their first rodeo. Snellville PD has racked up awards over the years, including the Governor’s Cup in 2019, 2020, and 2022. Clearly, they’re doing something right. STORY 5: Travis, Harris defeat incumbents in Lawrenceville City Council races Lawrenceville voters shook things up Tuesday, ousting two sitting city council members in favor of fresh faces—including a retired investigative journalist. Randy Travis, a former FOX 5 Atlanta reporter, beat Councilman Austin Thompson by a wide margin: 1,062 to 527. Meanwhile, Gwinnett Sheriff’s Office Maj. Bryant Harris unseated Councilwoman Marlene Taylor Crawford, 1,021 to 562. This all comes as Lawrenceville faces big changes—like a vote to annex 19,000 residents.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 4th Publish Date: November 4th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 4th and Happy Birthday to Puff Daddy I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gas South District to host Gwinnett Glows tree lighting event Dacula teen and Gwinnett business owner join forces to spread warmth and hope this winter Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Luzia’ offers a dreamlike escape All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gas South District to host Gwinnett Glows tree lighting event The Gas South District is kicking off the holiday season with its annual tree lighting on Nov. 21, right in front of the Gas South Convention Center. “Gwinnett Glows,” presented by Amazon, runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and is totally free. Expect food trucks, live entertainment, and all the festive vibes. Oh, and hot cocoa—because what’s a tree lighting without it? They’re also teaming up with Rainbow Village to help families in need. Bring a gift to donate to their Amazon Christmas Wishlist, or donate online if you can’t make it. What else? Handmade crafts, photo ops with the Pink Pig, and performances by local choirs. It’s going to be magical. STORY 2: Dacula teen and Gwinnett business owner join forces to spread warmth and hope this winter   Fifteen-year-old Caden Jackson from Dacula High isn’t your average teenager. For the past decade—yes, since he was five—he’s been collecting coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to help kids stay warm in the winter. Through his nonprofit, Loved & Protected, he’s handed out nearly 9,000 pieces of winter gear to those in need. This year, he’s teaming up with Millie Habtemariam, owner of Full Circle Salon & Spa Suites in Suwanee, for the Winter Warmth Drive 2025. Their goal? Collect 5,000 coats, hats, and gloves by Dec. 31. Habtemariam’s salon is a drop-off spot, and she’s even giving donors a free “manifest candle” she makes herself. For Caden, it’s all about the joy. “Seeing kids’ faces light up when they get a new coat—it’s amazing,” he said. Caden’s dream? To take Loved & Protected nationwide. For more info, visit lovedandprotected.org or fullcirclecandle.com STORY 3: Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Luzia’ offers a dreamlike escape   Olivia Aepli and Terrance Jr. Robinson may be relatively new to Cirque du Soleil’s touring family, but they’re no strangers to the grind of life on the road. So, the chance to stay put for a while? They’re loving it. Both performers are part of “Luzia,” Cirque’s stunning “waking dream of Mexico,” running at Atlantic Station from Nov. 6 to Jan. 25. That’s over 50 shows in one spot—an absolute luxury for these road warriors. “Luzia” is Aepli’s first Cirque show, and she’s living her childhood dream. She plays the running woman, performs swing-to-swing, hoop diving, and even pole dancing. Robinson, a Cirque veteran, appears as a hummingbird and also performs hoop diving and acropole. For tickets, visit cirquedusoleil.com/luzia. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 4: Parkview Grad Matt Olson Wins Third Gold Glove Award Parkview grad Matt Olson just added another piece of hardware to his already impressive career. On Sunday night, the Atlanta Braves’ first baseman snagged the Rawlings Gold Glove Award for the National League—his third overall. Olson beat out Bryce Harper and Spencer Steer for the honor, which was announced live on ESPN. He’s no stranger to this award, having won two Gold Gloves back in 2018 and 2019 with the Oakland A’s. This season? Olson was a rock. He played all 162 games, made just five errors in nearly 1,300 chances. Oh, and he’s now only the second Braves first baseman to win a Gold Glove, joining Freddie Freeman. Drafted straight out of high school by Oakland in 2012, Olson’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. And now, he’s cementing his legacy with his hometown team. STORY 5: Lawrenceville may add more downtown parking near square If you’ve ever circled downtown Lawrenceville looking for a parking spot—especially during an event at the Lawrenceville Lawn—there might be some relief on the horizon. Maybe. The city just bought two properties on South Perry Street, near the AutoZone, for a combined $835,000. What’s the plan? Well, that’s still up in the air. Assistant City Manager Barry Mock hinted at a possible parking lot, saying the southwest side of downtown could use more spaces. But City Manager Chuck Warbington isn’t ruling out redevelopment either. Meanwhile, the city also snagged a truck repair shop on Reid Street for $300,000. It’s been there for decades, but officials want to “clean up” the area and hold the property for future redevelopment. As for the AutoZone? No plans to buy it—yet. Break 3: STORY 6: Gwinnett's Co-ops bracing for increased demand as SNAP benefits end Jackie Wells Smith, director of the Lilburn Co-op, says they’ve seen a steady uptick in families seeking help, especially seniors and working parents who rely on food stamps to make ends meet. “For these families, losing SNAP is like losing a paycheck,” she said. Other co-ops, like Southeast Gwinnett and North Gwinnett, are scrambling too. North Gwinnett is shifting to a twice-a-month food distribution model to manage demand. Gwinnett County is stepping in with $250,000 to help co-ops handle the surge, but the need is overwhelming. “We’re planning for a 25% increase,” Smith said, “but honestly, I think it’ll be more.” Donations of food, hygiene items, and money are desperately needed. Co-ops are asking the community to step up—because the families coming through their doors have no other options. STORY 7: Aurora Theatre ready to celebrate 30 years of Christmas Canteen Thanksgiving’s still weeks away, but the Aurora Theatre? They’re already decking the halls. Their beloved holiday tradition, *Christmas Canteen*, returns Nov. 28 through Dec. 21, and this year’s show promises something extra special: a horn section joining the orchestra for the first time. Think big, brassy, and festive. Now in its 30th season, *Christmas Canteen* is a high-energy mix of dazzling dance, laugh-out-loud comedy, and music that’ll stick in your head long after the curtain falls. But this year’s show is bittersweet—it’s the final one under the musical direction of Ann-Carol Pence, Aurora’s co-founder. What started in 1996 as a WWII-era tribute has grown into a multigenerational tradition, blending Big Band nostalgia with modern carols, comedy, and heartfelt moments. Tickets are on sale now at auroratheatre.com. Don’t wait—this one’s a holiday must-see.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 30th Publish Date: October 30th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 30th and Happy birthday to Henry Winkler I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Walgreens and InCommunity partner to offer free vaccination clinics in Norcross A state representative steps down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on carrots All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 9 STORY 1: Walgreens and InCommunity partner to offer free vaccination clinics in Norcross Walgreens and InCommunity are hosting free vaccination clinics around the metro area, including one this Friday in Norcross. No insurance? No problem. Everyone’s welcome—individuals, families, whoever needs it. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., head to the Gwinnett Academic Assist Program Training Center at 1600 Oakbrook Drive. Flu shots, COVID boosters, RSV, shingles, pneumonia—you name it, they’ve got it. Licensed Walgreens pharmacists will be there to handle it all. And yes, it’s completely free. If you’ve got Medicaid or insurance, they’ll process it, but it’s not required. Walk-ins are fine, or register online through Walgreens. Don’t miss it! STORY 2: A state representative steps down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly  Another Georgia lawmaker is stepping down, adding to the growing list of vacancies in the state legislature. Rep. Marcus Wiedower announced Tuesday he’s resigning after six years in the House. Why? His job at Hillpointe, a real estate development firm, is booming—13 states now, up from one when he started. “It’s bittersweet,” he said, explaining the travel demands would pull him away from the Capitol. Wiedower chaired the House Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government. A special election will be held to fill his seat in District 121, along with three others left vacant by resignations and, tragically, a death. Politics never slows down. STORY 3: Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency   State Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes, is urging Gov. Brian Kemp to step in and help Georgia families who are about to lose their SNAP benefits because of the federal government shutdown. The shutdown, which started Oct. 1, has left Congress at a standstill, and now the USDA says SNAP benefits won’t be issued after Nov. 1. For 1.4 million Georgians—kids, seniors, working families—that’s a crisis. “Food isn’t optional. We have a moral duty to act.” She said. She’s asking Kemp to declare a state of emergency and use Georgia’s $14.6 billion surplus to provide aid, pointing to similar actions in Virginia and Louisiana. Meanwhile, the blame game rages on. But for families relying on SNAP? The politics don’t matter. They just need food. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: GDOT: Expect congestion near Netherworld on Halloween  If you’re heading to Netherworld this Halloween, brace yourself—it’s not just the haunted house that’ll be packed. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is warning drivers to expect traffic nightmares around metro Atlanta’s Halloween hotspots, especially Friday and Saturday. Netherworld, Six Flags, Stone Mountain Park, The Battery, and even Little 5 Points? All on the list of places where traffic’s gonna crawl. GDOT says the worst congestion will hit Friday from noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. And don’t forget the neighborhoods. Trick-or-treaters will be out, so slow down, stay alert, and for the love of candy, don’t drive distracted—or worse, drunk. STORY 5: Helping Kids Shine: Former Athletes Bring KidStrong to Gwinnett to Boost Youth Confidence When Jordan and Shaun Wade moved to Atlanta, they were just looking for something—anything—that could help their 3-year-old son, Shiloh, come out of his shell. Confidence, they thought, was the key. Jordan, a former Team USA track star, and Shaun, an Ohio State football standout now with the Chicago Bears, tried a few programs. Nothing clicked. Then they found KidStrong in Alpharetta. KidStrong, a science-based program for kids (walking to age 11), focuses on emotional, mental, and physical growth. With over 160 locations nationwide, it’s helping 65,000 kids a week. And now, thanks to the Wades, it’s coming to Gwinnett County—Snellville in 2026, Lawrenceville in 2027. Though new to business, Jordan’s no stranger to leadership. A former captain of South Carolina’s track team, she’s ready to bring that same energy to KidStrong. For more info, visit kidstrong.com or email Jordan at jordan.wade@kidstrong.com.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 25th Publish Date: October 25th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 25th and Happy Birthday to Bobby Knight I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Georgia Gwinnett College to host Preview Day on Nov. 8 Midway magic: Netherworld delivers the ultimate Halloween experience New principals named at Gwin Oaks Elementary and Jordan Middle School All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: KIA MOG STORY 1: Georgia Gwinnett College to host Preview Day on Nov. 8 Thinking about becoming a Grizzly? Georgia Gwinnett College is rolling out the welcome mat for future students and their families on Nov. 8, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., for Preview Day. What’s on tap? A little bit of everything. You’ll meet professors, chat with current students, and explore over 45 academic programs. There’s a guided campus tour (yes, they’ll show you the dorms), plus a peek into GGC’s buzzing student life—clubs, events, and all the support you didn’t know you needed. Ready to check it out? Register at www.ggc.edu/PreviewDays. STORY 2: Midway magic: Netherworld delivers the ultimate Halloween experience Sure, it’s football season. And the leaves are doing their thing. But let’s be real—it’s spooky season, and there’s no better place to dive into the chills than Netherworld Haunted House in Stone Mountain. This year’s frights? “Monsters Attack!” and the double feature “Oblivion: Return of the Mangler, Featuring Grendel’s Feast.” Terrifying, right? But the real chaos? The Midway. Between haunts, you’ll find food, games, photo ops, and maybe even a monster or two lurking around. “The Midway is where the energy really explodes,” said co-founder Billy Messina. Think nachos, creepy drinks, escape rooms, and the House of Creeps Monster Museum. Tickets? Grab ’em early at fearworld.com. STORY 3: New principals named at Gwin Oaks Elementary and Jordan Middle School Two Gwinnett schools are getting new leaders, the district announced last week. At its Oct. 16 meeting, the Gwinnett County Board of Education approved Wendy C. McDonald as the new principal of Gwin Oaks Elementary, replacing Dr. Craig Barlow, who’s retiring. McDonald, currently an assistant principal at Trickum Middle, started her career in Louisiana before joining GCPS in 2005. She’s got degrees in political science, early childhood education, and literacy—all from UGA. Over at Jordan Middle, Alex “Hunter” McRae will take the reins from Melissa M. Miller, who’s moving to Bay Creek Middle. McRae, a GCPS veteran since 2000, has a background in music education and leadership. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: Georgia Department of Education recognizes five Gwinnett schools on 2025 Distinguished and Reward Schools list Big news for Gwinnett schools! Jackson Elementary, Mountain Park Elementary, Paul Duke STEM High, and Trip Elementary have been named 2025 Distinguished Schools by the Georgia Department of Education. What does that mean? They’re in the top 5% of Title I schools statewide, based on ELA and math scores. Pretty impressive, right? And there’s more—Arcado Elementary snagged the 2025 Title I Reward School honor, recognizing the top 5% of schools making the biggest improvements over two years. Each school gets a certificate, a flag, and a shot at a national award. STORY 5: Contested mayoral races top ballots in three cities This fall’s municipal elections are heating up, especially in three cities with contested mayoral races. While most ballots focus on city council seats, Loganville, Braselton, and Sugar Hill voters have some big decisions to make. In Loganville, it’s an open race—Mayor Skip Baliles is retiring. Voters will choose between City Councilman Branden Whitfield and local business owner John Soesbe to take the reins. Braselton’s Mayor Kurt Ward is up against two challengers: Michael Cronic, a former school board chair, and Brandon Reed, founder of ReeDesign MFG. Over in Sugar Hill, Mayor Brandon Hembree faces watchdog Amber Chambers in his first re-election bid. Meanwhile, Dacula, Grayson, and Norcross mayors are cruising to re-election unopposed. STORY 6: Lawrenceville City Council races come ahead of big annexation vote Lawrenceville’s city council races are in the spotlight this year—and not just because it’s the county seat. There’s also a big annexation vote looming in May that could add 19,000 new residents to the city. The leaders elected in November? They’ll be the ones managing that growth if it happens. Incumbents Austin Thompson (Post 3) and Marlene Taylor Crawford (Post 4) are both seeking re-election, but they’ve got challengers. Thompson faces former FOX 5 reporter Randy Travis, while Crawford is up against Gwinnett Sheriff’s Office Major Bryant Harris. Thompson, an engineer and small business consultant, is focused on economic growth, affordable housing, and making Lawrenceville a “city of the future.” He’s all-in on the annexation, saying it’ll bring character and opportunity to the city. Travis, meanwhile, is leaning on his decades of local visibility and says he’ll focus on traffic, taxes, and expanding the city’s tax base without burdening current residents. He’s also committed to explaining the annexation’s benefits to those in the proposed area. In the Post 4 race, Crawford, a school counselor and longtime community advocate, is pushing for equity across all neighborhoods—no more blight in one area and prosperity in another. She supports the annexation but stresses the need to expand services thoughtfully. Harris, with a deep background in law enforcement, is prioritizing safety, youth programs, and traffic solutions. He’s for the annexation too but says the city must ensure new residents get the same quality of services current ones enjoy. With so much at stake, these races are ones to watch. STORY 7: Gwinnett Counselor named Georgia School Counselor of the Year Crews Middle School’s Shayla Thompson just got some well-deserved applause—she’s been named Georgia School Counselor of the Year by the Georgia School Counselor Association. “I’m beyond grateful,” Thompson said. “This isn’t just about me—it’s about the incredible leaders, colleagues, and students who’ve supported me every step of the way. I couldn’t do this without them.” The surprise announcement came with flowers, a banner, and a visit from GSCA President Gabrielle Brundidge. Principal Cindy Moffett called Thompson’s work “inspiring,” adding, “She makes every student feel seen and valued.” Thompson, who’s also the 2025 GCPS Middle School Counselor of the Year, said, “Everything I do is for the students.” We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 23rd Publish Date: October 23rd PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 23rd and Happy birthday to Weird Al Yankovich I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. 'Fall back' — Daylight Saving Time ends Nov. 2 Gwinnett Tech hosts inaugural Gryphon Gratitude Breakfast Georgians react to Instagram 'PG-13' rating policy Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sweet tooths All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 1: 'Fall back' — Daylight Saving Time ends Nov. 2 Like it or not, it’s that time again—Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 2, and we “fall back” an hour. Darker evenings, groggy mornings, and maybe an extra cup of coffee (or three). But does this time shift really matter anymore? Dr. Jason Delaney, an economics professor at Georgia Gwinnett College, doesn’t think so. “It was about saving energy back when lighting and heating were inefficient, and air conditioning didn’t exist. That’s not the world we live in now,” he said. “Economically, the impact is minimal.” Psychologist Dr. David Ludden sees it differently: “It messes with your body. We’re not built to adjust quickly—our sleep cycles rely on light cues.” His advice? Get outside in natural light or use bright indoor lights during the day to help reset your internal clock. So, while the time change might feel like a relic of the past, it still throws us off—at least for a little while. STORY 2: Gwinnett Tech hosts inaugural Gryphon Gratitude Breakfast On Oct. 15, Gwinnett Tech Foundation hosted its first-ever Gryphon Gratitude Breakfast, and the room was packed—150 donors, students, and community partners all gathered to celebrate the life-changing power of giving. It wasn’t just about handshakes and thank-yous. Students stood up and shared raw, personal stories—how scholarships kept them in school, how the Foundation gave them a shot at a future they almost gave up on. “Every donation has a face,” said Darcie Johnson, the Foundation’s executive director. “You’re not just giving money—you’re changing lives.” The event wrapped with a challenge: “Fuel Your Purpose.” A reminder to give, to act, to make it count. STORY 3: Georgians react to Instagram 'PG-13' rating policy   Meta’s new “PG-13” filter for Instagram? Let’s just say Georgians aren’t exactly buying it. The company claims the filter will block posts with strong language, risky stunts, or content promoting harmful behaviors—like drug paraphernalia. Sounds good on paper, right? But critics are calling it a PR stunt, not a real solution. Sharon Winkler, who lost her 17-year-old son Alex to suicide in 2017, isn’t convinced. “This feels like another empty promise to make parents feel safe,” she said. Counselor Laura Ladefian agrees. “Filters won’t fix the algorithms that make these platforms addictive,” she said. “It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a broken arm.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: State names Suwanee an 'exceptional' main street city  Suwanee’s got some bragging rights—officially. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs just named it one of the state’s newest Georgia Exceptional Main Street (GEMS) communities. Canton snagged the other spot, but let’s focus on Suwanee for a second. Why the honor? It’s all about their downtown. Public spaces, smart planning, and a vibe that mixes charm with progress. Earning GEMS status isn’t easy. Cities have to prove they’re not just growing economically but also keeping their unique character intact. Suwanee nailed it. STORY 5: AMC brings first new Dolby Experience to Gwinnett since 2017 Big news for movie lovers in Gwinnett—Dolby Cinema is back after an eight-year hiatus. This past weekend, AMC unveiled its brand-new Dolby Cinema at the AMC Dine-In Webb Gin 11 on Scenic Highway in unincorporated Lawrenceville. It’s the first Dolby Experience in the county since 2017, and honestly? It’s a game-changer. Think ultra-vivid colors, insane brightness, and sound so immersive it feels like it’s crawling up your spine. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos combine to make every scene hit harder—like you’re in the movie, not just watching it. This upgrade came after three months of renovations, and AMC isn’t stopping here. They’re planning 40 more Dolby locations nationwide, aiming for over 200 total. For now, though, Gwinnett’s got something to brag about.

Rev. Marshall Clack, the pastor of The Sanctuary of Pentecost church in Acworth (North Atlanta), Georgia, started his first church over 20 years ago in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Clack planted his current church in Acworth, Georgia 13 years ago. What does it take to continue to grow a church and not get discouraged? What do you do when the inevitable subtractions occur? Is it all about numbers?This conversation concludes next week in Part 2.

Top Stories for October 18th Publish Date: October 18th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 18th and Happy Birthday to Chuck Berry I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Sugar Rush takes over Sugar Hill this weekend Glow 5K set for Nov. 9 at Lanier Islands Resort Duluth wins national award for downtown selfie stations All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: KIA MOG STORY 1: Sugar Rush takes over Sugar Hill this weekend Sugar Hill’s biggest bash is back this weekend, and it’s got a little something for everyone—art, music, family chaos (the good kind), and that small-town community vibe you can’t fake. Saturday? Start with the 5K Color Run at 8 a.m. (registration’s at 7, if you’re ambitious). Then, from 10 to 6, downtown transforms into an art-lover’s dream: 100+ vendors, a pumpkin patch, live art demos, and even a biergarten for the grown-ups. Sunday keeps the fun rolling at noon with gold mining, aerial silks, animal shows, and—yes—a mascot dance-off. Because why not? STORY 2: Glow 5K set for Nov. 9 at Lanier Islands Resort Lanier Islands’ Magical Night of Lights is kicking off the holiday season with a festive twist—the Dashing Through the Glow 5K on Sunday, Nov. 9. Picture this: running (or walking, no judgment) through a wonderland of Christmas lights at dusk. Toy soldiers, candy canes, even pickleball-playing elves—it’s all there. The race starts at 5:45 p.m. and is capped at 1,500 participants, so don’t wait. Registration includes a cozy crewneck (or hoodie, if you upgrade), a finisher medal, and Santa bobblehead trophies for top runners. Proceeds? They go to the Georgia Mountain Food Bank. Holiday vibes for a good cause. STORY 3: Duluth wins national award for downtown selfie stations Duluth just snagged some national bragging rights, winning a Silver Circle Award for Graphic Design at the 2025 Savvy Awards. The ceremony? Held Sept. 4 at Planet Hollywood in Vegas—because where else would you celebrate creativity? The city’s Downtown Selfie Stations project stole the spotlight. These colorful, interactive signs scattered around downtown Duluth aren’t just for decoration—they’re an invitation. Snap a pic, share it online, and show off the city’s charm. Judges called it “fun, intuitive, and memorable.” Mayor Greg Whitlock summed it up: “This award reflects our commitment to connecting with the community in fresh, creative ways.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: A legacy of healing — Documentary tells ReCAST Lawrenceville’s journey through residents’ stories Four years ago, Lawrenceville landed a $5 million federal grant to launch ReCAST, a program aimed at building resilience and supporting mental health in the community. Since then? It’s been a lifeline for so many. To celebrate its impact, ReCAST just released a 17-minute documentary featuring three residents—Josiah Hardy, Success Bonds, and Nadia Hill—whose lives were changed by the program. Jobs, housing, counseling—it’s all there. Program manager Marcus Thorne says the work isn’t done. With the grant set to expire next year, the focus is on sustainability. STORY 5: Delta CEO: Employees who 'glorified' murder 'lost the right to serve our customers' Delta CEO Ed Bastian took the stage at the Gas South District in Duluth on Wednesday to talk leadership, but the conversation veered into controversy—specifically, the firing of a Delta flight attendant who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder on social media. The employee’s Facebook post, which read “good riddance,” sparked outrage. Two weeks later, they were fired. Bastian didn’t mince words: “When someone glorifies violence like that, they’ve lost the privilege of being a Delta employee. We serve everyone, no matter their views.” He also revealed Delta’s next big move: direct flights to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, through a new partnership with Riyadh Air. “It’s coming soon,” he teased. STORY 6: Lawrenceville to host Atlanta Christkindl Market The Atlanta Christkindl Market is packing up its twinkling lights and bratwurst and heading to Lawrenceville this December. After years in Buckhead, it’s found a new home at the Lawrenceville Lawn—bigger, better, and ready for more holiday magic. Think mulled wine, handmade ornaments, and that cozy, old-world German charm, all with a dash of Atlanta’s energy. Since 2016, this market has been a holiday favorite, drawing crowds from all over Georgia (and beyond). Opening Nov. 28 and running through Christmas Eve, it’s free to attend. So grab your scarf, your appetite, and maybe a little extra room in your heart for holiday cheer. STORY 7: Greater Atlanta Christian Grad Malcolm Brogdon Retires After 9 NBA Seasons Malcolm Brogdon, a Greater Atlanta Christian alum, shocked the basketball world Wednesday, announcing his retirement from the NBA after nine seasons. The timing? Just a month after signing a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Knicks. “Today, I officially begin my transition out of basketball,” Brogdon shared with ESPN. “This game has demanded so much—mind, body, spirit—but it’s given me even more. I’m grateful to step away on my own terms, surrounded by family and friends.” The Knicks wished him well on social media: “Congrats on your retirement, Malcolm! Best of luck in your next chapter.” Brogdon’s career was nothing short of remarkable. A second-round pick in 2016, he defied expectations, earning Rookie of the Year with Milwaukee and Sixth Man of the Year with Boston. Injuries slowed him in recent years, but his impact never wavered. Before the NBA, he was a star at Virginia—ACC Player of the Year, two-time Defensive Player of the Year, and a first-team All-American. And let’s not forget his high school days: back-to-back state titles at GAC, Mr. Georgia Basketball, and two-time Daily Post Player of the Year. A legacy? Absolutely.

The Georgia State Patrol said Hammock’s semi was following too closely and slammed into a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan, sparking a chain reaction. The van and semi burst into flames. The victims, reportedly on their way to Tanger Outlets, included three adults, five children, and possibly an unborn baby.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 11th Publish Date: October 11th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 11th and Happy Birthday to Steve Young I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films House Republicans consider more funding for public health Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films This fall, Fernbank Museum is serving up two epic adventures on its Giant Screen Theater—stories that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll. First up, “Wild Rescue” (premiering today Oct. 11). It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, where bobcats, pelicans, and other injured animals get a second shot at life. Think animal ER, but with jaw-dropping cinematography and a whole lot of heart. Then there’s “Secrets of Great Salt Lake” (opening Nov. 8). Mammoths, saber-toothed cats, ancient floods—it’s a wild ride through time, showing how water shapes life, from the Rockies to the Great Salt Lake. Both films are included with general admission. Don’t miss it. STORY 2: House Republicans consider more funding for public health   Georgia’s public health system is at a breaking point, lawmakers were told Tuesday. Federal funding is drying up—COVID-era dollars are gone, grants are shrinking, and the Congressional budget mess isn’t helping. State funding has increased over the years, but it’s not enough. Per-person spending has dropped from $97 in 2012 to just $74 today, said Leah Chan of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. Rural areas? They’re hit hardest—fewer resources, fewer workers, and the looming threat of hospital closures. Advocates made it clear: public health programs save money and lives. Vaccinations, lead abatement, substance abuse prevention—they all reduce preventable deaths and boost the economy. Lawmakers listened, but what’s next? No one’s saying yet. The committee has until Dec. 1 to make recommendations. STORY 3: Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat   Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Duluth is throwing a big party, and everyone’s invited! To celebrate 40 years, they’re hosting a Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the back parking lot. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s packed with stuff for the whole family—think decorated trunks, games, face painting, a bounce house, raffle baskets, a fall photo booth, snacks, drinks, and, of course, candy. Lots of candy. They’re also asking guests to bring canned or nonperishable food to stock their Little Free Pantry, helping neighbors in need. Come for the fun, stay for the community vibes. 3700 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Man and woman killed in domestic shooting near Lawrenceville Gwinnett police are piecing together what happened Wednesday morning in a tragic domestic incident that left a man and woman dead in a home near Lawrenceville. Officers were called to the 600 block of Clearwater Place around 9:40 a.m. after someone reported a shooting. Inside a bedroom, they found the two victims—both dead from apparent gunshot wounds. A gun was recovered at the scene, but the Medical Examiner’s Office will confirm the exact cause of death. Detectives aren’t searching for suspects, but they’re interviewing witnesses and combing through evidence. The victims’ names haven’t been released yet, as police are notifying family. Anyone with information can call detectives at 770-513-5300 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Cash rewards are available for tips leading to an arrest. STORY 5: Grayson Football Heads into 15-Day Break with Dominant Win Grayson’s freshman quarterback, Deuce Smith, is making this whole “starter” thing look easy. Filling in after Travis Burgess’ season-ending injury, Smith threw *five* first-half touchdowns Thursday night, leading the Rams to a 58-10 demolition of Rockdale County. Grayson wasted no time. Josh Thomas ripped off a 62-yard run on the first play, and two snaps later, Smith hit Saif Bin-Wahad for a quick 7-0 lead. By the end of the first quarter? 34-7. Even the reserves got in on the action. Junior Tre Crum ran in a touchdown, and freshman Jojo Watts electrified the sideline with a 50-yard punt return score. Grayson, now riding a 22-game win streak, has 15 days to prep for South Gwinnett. Break 3: STORY 6: GCPS names 25 semifinalists for Teacher of the Year Gwinnett County Public Schools just announced the 25 semifinalists for the 2027 Teacher of the Year award, narrowing down an impressive field of 141 local winners. These educators—spanning elementary, middle, and high schools—are now in the running for the district’s top teaching honor. The big moment? January 29 at 6:30 p.m., when GCPS will host a banquet to celebrate all local school Teachers of the Year and crown the county’s best. This year’s semifinalists include standout teachers like Marquiesha Pless Morris (2nd grade, Baggett Elementary), Kelly Swanson (AP Psychology, Brookwood High), and Cindy Quinlan (Entrepreneurship, Phoenix High). The full list of semifinalists showcases the incredible talent shaping Gwinnett’s classrooms every day. STORY 7: Shiloh Grad Michael Nash Remembered Fondly in Gwinnett, Dunwoody It took Michael Nash a while to figure out where he belonged. Coaching and teaching weren’t on his radar at first. After graduating from Shiloh High in 1992, he tried college football, worked in his parents’ business, even moved out of state to build houses. But life has a funny way of steering you back. One day, his old friend Ed Shaddix, then principal at North Gwinnett High, called him up. “Are you ready yet?” Shaddix asked. And that was it. Nash, in his 30s, with a wife, two kids, and bills to pay, went back to school. He worked at North, coached under Bob Sphire, and earned his degree. It wasn’t easy, but it was the start of something bigger. Nash’s coaching journey took him from Shiloh to Dunwoody, where he spent 10 years rebuilding a struggling program. When he arrived, there were 17 players, no facilities, and barely $20,000 in the budget. But he got to work—weight training, nutrition programs, camps, fundraising. Slowly, the team grew to over 120 players, with a budget in the hundreds of thousands. It wasn’t just about football, though. Nash believed in loving his players, in making them better people. He coached lacrosse and baseball when the school needed him. He helped kids with problems at home. In February, Nash left Dunwoody to coach at Chattahoochee County, closer to family. Tragically, he passed away on October 3 after emergency surgery. He was 51. A memorial service will be held October 12 at Dunwoody Baptist Church. To support his family, visit the GoFundMe page in his honor.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 9th Publish Date: October 9th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 9th and Happy birthday to John Lennon I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Lilburn Daze—man, it’s come a long way. Picture this: back in the '70s, it was just a scrappy little thing in a shopping center parking lot. Now? It’s the fall festival in Gwinnett County. This Saturday, from 9 to 5, City Park on Main Street will be buzzing. Arts and crafts, food trucks, kids bouncing around (literally), live music, and even a health tent. Oh, and the Doggy Dazzle Paw-rade at 11 a.m.? Adorable chaos. Susan Allred, festival chair, says they’re expecting 5,000–10,000 folks. “It’s our biggest fundraiser,” she adds. Proceeds? They fuel community programs. So, grab a shuttle, bring your dog, and soak it all in. STORY 2: Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances Gwinnett’s getting three shiny new ambulances—finally. On Tuesday, county commissioners approved a $932,383 deal with Life Line Emergency Vehicles, and if all goes to plan, they’ll arrive in December. One ambulance will roll in on a RAM 5500 chassis, while the other two will use Chevy 5500 chassis the county bought during the pandemic. (Remember those supply chain nightmares?) Turns out, they’ve just been sitting there, unused. Funded by the 2017 SPLOST, these ambulances are all-new, top to bottom. STORY 3: O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville O’Dwyer Homes just broke ground on something truly special—a “Build for CURE” home, where every penny from the sale will go to CURE Childhood Cancer. The ceremony happened Sept. 17 at 1108 Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville, and honestly, it’s more than just a house. It’s hope. “This is personal,” says Kathy O’Dwyer. Years ago, she watched Sean Dever, her son’s best friend’s little brother, fight osteosarcoma. And Brandon, the builder? His son John battled leukemia at nine. Both families leaned on CURE during their darkest days. Now, John’s thriving, Sean’s thriving—and this home? It’s for the next family who needs a lifeline. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: Making waves: North Georgia students dive into water industry at leadership summit On a crisp September morning, over 160 high schoolers from across North Georgia showed up at The Water Tower in Buford, probably not expecting to leave thinking, Huh, maybe water’s my thing. But that’s exactly what happened. The Student Water Innovation and Leadership Summit (Sept. 26) wasn’t your typical career day. Students from schools like Mill Creek, Shiloh, and Discovery got hands-on—peering into microscopes, testing filtration systems, even diving into virtual reality. They learned water isn’t just faucets and pipes; it’s labs, engineering, crisis management, and, yes, running treatment plants. With a looming workforce gap (a third retiring soon!), programs like this are game-changers. STORY 5: Gwinnett installing sidewalks near Dyer Elementary Kids walking to Dyer Elementary in Dacula? It’s about to get a whole lot safer—and easier. Gwinnett County just approved a $1.3 million contract with Ohmshiv Construction to build new sidewalks near the school. The plan? Sidewalks will stretch along Hurricane Shoals Road (north side) from the school to Retreat Drive, and on Rabbit Hill Circle (west side) from Hurricane Shoals to Hood Road. The project, funded by the 2023 SPLOST, kicks off soon and should wrap up in 100 working days. Finally, some peace of mind for parents. We’ll be right back.

Here’s the twist: the film will be accompanied live by organist Ken Double on the Mighty Mo, the Fox’s legendary 1929 Möller pipe organ.

With Maestro Steven Mercurio conducting and surprises promised, it’s a night not to miss. STORY 3: Gwinnett honors Jimmy Carter's life on his 101st birthday Even though former President Jimmy Carter wasn’t there in person last Wednesday, Tiffany Parks felt his presence everywhere. As volunteers hammered and sawed away at what will soon be her new home in Lilburn, she couldn’t help but think of the man who championed Habitat for Humanity for decades. “This is special—for him, his family, his legacy,” Parks said. Wednesday would’ve been Carter’s 101st birthday, and Gwinnett County honored him in every way imaginable: a Habitat build, a mural at Best Friend Park, blue lights on Jimmy Carter Boulevard, and heartfelt tributes. “He showed the world that everyone deserves a home,” said Habitat’s Eric Miller.

Turns out, it’s not random—it’s rooted in history, all the way back to Georgia’s 1820 Land Lottery. Back then, the state divided up land taken from Native Americans through treaties and forced removal, creating opportunities for white settlers to claim plots. Gwinnett County, established in 1818, was part of this process. Surveyors carved the county into districts and 250-acre lots. The first digit of your parcel ID? That’s your lottery district. The next three? Your original land lot. The last three? Your slice of that lot today. Curious who won your land? Visit the Gwinnett Historical Society in Lawrenceville! We’ll be right back.

Some come to honor loved ones, others to dream, and some just to soak in the beauty. A portion of proceeds supports the Georgia Mountain Food Bank. Want to stay the night? Lanier Islands is offering a special package with tickets and accommodations. Details at lanierislands.com.

Top Stories for September 30th Publish Date: September 30th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 30th and Happy Birthday to Fran Drescher I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett “As long as I can.” That’s how long Sharon Bryant, a retiree still working part-time, plans to stay in her new apartment at Sage 5430. The complex, which just opened near Beaver Ruin Road and Buford Highway, is a rare find: affordable, spacious, and brand new. Sage 5430 is the result of a four-year public-private effort to address Gwinnett’s growing need for affordable housing. The 70-unit complex serves seniors, homeless youth, and those aging out of foster care, with rents ranging from $1,062 to $1,655—well below market rates. Residents making 50–70% of the area’s median income can also qualify for subsidies. The need is urgent. Gwinnett’s population of seniors has exploded by 55% in the last decade, and more than half of senior renters are considered “cost-burdened,” spending over 30% of their income on housing. But getting here wasn’t easy. John Maddox, VP of development at Blue Ridge Atlantic, described the process as “playing Whack-a-Mole.” Construction costs spiked, interest rates climbed, and funding gaps kept appearing. Eventually, with help from Gwinnett County, the Norcross Housing Authority, and Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs, the project came together. And for Gwinnett, it’s a step forward in tackling a housing crisis that’s pricing out even middle-income families. STORY 2: Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events The Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth is gearing up for two big fall events, and train lovers of all ages are invited to join the fun. First up: “Train, Trunk or Treat” on Saturday, Oct. 18, starting at 10 a.m. It’s not just trick-or-treating anymore—it’s a full-on fall festival with a classic car show, train rides, a costume contest, live music, and even a scavenger hunt. Families and car owners are encouraged to dress up, and local businesses will be handing out candy from decorated trunks. Then, from Nov. 15 to Jan. 4, the museum’s annual Festival of Trees returns. Santa himself will arrive by train on Nov. 15, with more holiday magic possibly planned for December. The museum, located at 3595 Buford Highway, is also looking for local businesses to sponsor trees or host tables at these events. Interested? Visit train-museum.com or email info@train-museum.com.

We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Gwinnett police seeking suspect in fraudulent vehicle purchase Gwinnett Police are asking for help finding 33-year-old Anthony Sherlock, who’s wanted in a fraud case. Here’s what happened: On Sept. 5, Sherlock met with someone to buy a car. He handed over a check—but it turned out to be fake. By the time the bank flagged it as altered, the funds were gone, leaving the seller with a big loss. Sherlock is described as a Black man, about 5’9” and 155 pounds. If you know anything, call detectives at 770-513-5300. Want to stay anonymous? Contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. Cash rewards are available. STORY 5: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Elisha Winn Fair set for Oct. 4-5 The Elisha Winn Fair is back Oct. 4-5, celebrating one of Gwinnett County’s founders and the home where it all began. Elisha Winn built his house in 1811—seven years before Gwinnett even existed. By 1818, it became the county’s first courthouse, hosting elections, court sessions, and government meetings. Winn himself was sworn in as a judge right in his own parlor. Imagine that. But life wasn’t all smooth. Winn lost the home in a messy legal battle over land rights and spent his later years fighting for it. The house changed hands until the Gwinnett Historical Society restored it in 1978. Now, the fair—46 years strong—celebrates this history with the community. Don’t miss it! STORY 6: Police: Daughter charged in murder of 62-year-old woman A 33-year-old woman has been charged with murder after police say she fatally stabbed her 62-year-old mother at their home near the Gwinnett-DeKalb County line. Brittany Morris is accused of killing her mother, Janet Morris, on Thursday afternoon. Officers were called to their home on Deshong Drive around 4:30 p.m. and found Janet’s body—she’d died from apparent stab wounds. Police haven’t said what led to the attack, but Brittany was arrested later that day in another part of Gwinnett. Anyone with information can contact detectives or Crime Stoppers anonymously. STORY 7: BRACK: Lawrenceville's Loving Aid Society working to help in the future A Lawrenceville institution with roots stretching back to 1888 is closing its doors, but its legacy? That’s not going anywhere. The Loving Aid Society, founded by Laura Freeman Gholston and Bob Craig, was created to support Gwinnett’s Black community during a time when money was scarce for everyone. Members paid small monthly dues—just ten cents back then—to cover funeral costs and help the sick. Over the years, it became a cornerstone of self-reliance, hosting annual “Turn Out” gatherings filled with songs, prayers, and shared recipes. Their two-story building on Neal Boulevard once housed a funeral home, a church, and even a daycare. But now, with only three members left—Ruth Summerour, 90, and Glenda and Moses Abney, 74 and 78—the Society has sold its property to the City of Lawrenceville for $497,000. The remaining members are determined to use those funds to keep helping others, ensuring the spirit of the Loving Aid Society lives on. We’ll have closing comments after this.

We’ll be right back Break 2: GWINNET FAIR STORY 4: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Gwinnett County Veterans Memorial Museum preparing for 20th anniversary Did you know Gwinnett has its own veterans museum? Tucked inside the first floor of the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville, the Gwinnett County Veterans Memorial Museum (GCVMM) is a hidden gem. It’s free, volunteer-run, and packed with over 4,000 artifacts honoring those who’ve served since 1776. The museum’s story is as rich as its collection. It started in 1989 as a small military display, born from a mission to preserve the courthouse and the graves of eight soldiers from the Creek Indian War. After years of effort, it officially opened on Veterans Day 2005. Now, 20 years later, GCVMM is celebrating its anniversary on Nov. 11 from 3–6 p.m. at the Historic Courthouse. Expect patriotic demos, speakers, and tours. It’s free, it’s meaningful, and it’s a chance to honor history. See you there! STORY 5: From Ada Twist to Rosie Revere: New hands-on exhibit inspires young problem-solvers at Children's Museum of Atlanta Things are about to get very curious at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. Starting Sept. 20, they’re unveiling a new traveling exhibit: “The Questioneers: Read. Question. Think. PLAY!”—a hands-on, life-sized dive into Andrea Beaty and David Roberts’ beloved book series. Kids (and let’s be honest, probably some adults too) can step into Miss Lila Greer’s classroom and join Ada Twist, Scientist; Rosie Revere, Engineer; Iggy Peck, Architect; Sofia Valdez, Future Prez; and Aaron Slater, Illustrator. Build bridges with Iggy, fly Rosie’s Cheese Copter, or dream big in Ada’s thinking chair. It’s all about curiosity, creativity, and, yes, a little failure along the way. Running through Jan. 4, 2026, this bilingual exhibit (English and Spanish) is packed with STEM, art, and civic lessons—plus a whole lot of fun. Find it at 275 Centennial Olympic Park Dr. NW. More info? Head to childrensmuseumatlanta.org. STORY 6: 4-H Farm Friends — A Gwinnett County Fair tradition for more than 3 decades Logan, a sixth-grader with a heart for animals, has always been drawn to anything with fur, feathers, or scales. At his first 4-H event, he spent the day doting on baby ducklings, goats, and sheep—each lovingly named, of course. This year, 4-H Farm Friends is back at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds, running through Sept. 21. For just $1, visitors can cuddle baby chicks, meet cows like Moolan and Ellie May (who turns five on Monday!), and even hang out with goats—new this year. For Logan and his mom, Misty, 4-H is more than animals—it’s community. Pam Bloch, a 4-H leader for 17 years, says the program is about more than cute animals. “We’re teaching kids where their food, clothes, and milk come from,” she said. “It’s hands-on learning they don’t always get in urban areas.” And for Logan? It’s pure joy. STORY 7: Police arrest suspect in North Gwinnett Co-Op burglary A Clarkston man, already serving time in a work-release program for burglary convictions, is now facing fresh charges tied to last month’s break-in at the North Gwinnett Co-Op’s Second Blessings Thrift Store in Buford. Lavan Hickman, 38, was charged with burglary and second-degree criminal damage to property after investigators determined he left the Gwinnett County Correctional Institute on work release before committing the Aug. 19 crime. Surveillance footage showed someone smashing a window with a rock to enter the store, causing over $10,000 in damages. Stolen items included a cash box, money bags, and a Sony camera. Kim Phillips, the co-op’s executive director, expressed heartbreak but also compassion. We’ll have closing comments after this.
