Hello everybody, I am new to the area and loving what Duluth and Gwinnett County have to offer so far. I am currently living in a building that has vinyl plank in all living areas except for the bedroom for all floors, and I’m also a person who’s sensitive to loud sudden noises. I moved from a townhome in Gainesville which had little to no noise issues, but I really wanted to be in the Duluth area.

I also have a younger kitten which I was fortunate enough to have recently adopted, and she seems to run around at all times (as they do) which has somewhat upset my downstairs neighbors. There is a lot of door/cabinet slamming going on since the addition of my furry friend causing me pretty bad anxiety about the whole thing.

Does anybody have any recommendations of any pet-friendly complexes in the area that they’ve lived in and can report the noise is minimal between floors and walls? I have a pretty open budget and don’t need more than a one bedroom, but I really want to make sure the complex is constructed in a way (concrete hopefully) that minimizes noise travel between units. That’s truthfully my main concern!

TIA for the help!

Does anyone know what's being built on this corner where the buford hwy publix is? That building has been vacant forever and im curious what its going to be.

Hello everyone! I'm a senior at a local high school. I have been hosting free, in-person computer science exploration sessions for 7th-9th graders who want to learn about how computers and technology actually work, and I wanted to let more local families know about them.

I started the program because I've found that computer science is a much broader field than most school classes have time to cover. There are so many fascinating topics that a curious, analytical student might love but never encounter in a typical class. That's why these sessions go well beyond coding. We’ve done everything from designing our own cryptocurrency in an economy simulation to creating custom, working virtual reality experiences. Instead of sitting through lectures, students learn by experimenting, building, and solving problems together.

Each session covers a new, standalone topic, so students are free to drop by at any time without needing to catch up on previous sessions. There is no homework or long-term commitment, so missing a session for other activities is completely fine.

I filed a small claims case in Forsyth County Magistrate Court. The defendant has already been served by the sheriff and is required to appear in court, but he’s now asking to settle through mediation and make monthly payments.
I’m open to a payment plan, but I honestly don’t trust him to keep paying. My concern is that he’ll make a few payments, stop, and I’ll end up having to start this entire process over again.
Has anyone dealt with this in Forsyth County Magistrate Court or another Georgia Magistrate Court?
If we go before the judge, what can I actually ask the court for? Can I ask for a consent judgment with a monthly payment plan instead of dismissing the case? Can I ask for terms that say if he misses a payment, the remaining balance becomes due immediately?
What consequences can legally be included or enforced if he stops paying? For example, can I pursue wage/bank garnishment, interest on the remaining balance, or other collection methods without having to file another lawsuit?
I’m also wondering what I should actually ask the judge in the courtroom. Can I directly ask the judge about what happens if he defaults, whether interest can be included, and how I would enforce the judgment? Are there specific things I should make sure are included in the court order before agreeing to anything?
I’m completely new to this and really don’t want to agree to mediation or sign something that takes away the protections I currently have from having an active case. Any advice from someone familiar with Georgia small claims, especially Forsyth County, would be appreciated.

hi! looking for a daycare for my 5 mo old baby. i toured creekstone academy at little tikes in duluth and i liked it. has anyone ever sent their infant here? or have any suggestions where to look into? seriously needing some advice as a first time mom 😭

Hey y'all! My partner and I are looking to move to a neighborhood near the downtown area, hopefully a 10-15 min bike ride or 30 minute walking distance to the downtown area. We visited as a family this afternoon and it was pretty dead. The coffee shop was busy but lunch places only had a few customers. I understand we were there on a weekday and it's too hot for patios right now. My concern is that these businesses will shut down and in 5-10 years it'll be all vacant or just junky.

I did see flyers for all the weekend activities and concerts, etc. Taylor park is gorgeous and fun for the kiddo. I just want the local perspective: do you think it's sustainable? We're moving from Midtown Atlanta/Buckhead where many new developments are nice for a few years before the businesses fold and no one can afford the rents once the momentum is gone.

Any insight helps, thanks again

Quick question. I know the Gwinnett place mall has basically been closed for awhile now, is the parking lot still accessible to practice driving?

I have enough $ to get dinner tonight and I wanted to get some Chinese food or sushi that's good quality and especially a good quantity. Think like $30 and under for a single person

Please recommend some places with generous portions and freshly made food 🙏 thank you

If you didn't get it from the title of my post, I really think you guys would clean up if you had beer and a limited menu available outside when there is live music 20 feet from your front door.

I get you want to be more of a restaurant or British pub but let's meet the customer halfway. Your beers are great, your french fries and other apps are bangers, people like to eat outside and grab a great beer to enjoy the neighborhood.

I like what you're doing but want it to be more accessible in the neighborhood.

Just 1 customer giving feedback.

Hi yesterday morning I lost my Prada wallet in a parking lot behind Maple Street restaurant or somewhere else. I’m not sure. I called police department, city hall, and the restaurant, but they don’t have it. So please if you evern seen or have it contact me please. That wallet means a lot to me.

I found a hockey rink at Pinckneyville Park, but are there any other places you guys would recommend? Thank you!

Me, my hubby & 9 month old son are looking to rent a house in the Harris Mill neighborhood. Can someone provide me with pros and cons? We won’t be looking to live here forever or more than about 2 years maybe.. so my son won’t be in school yet (so don’t tell me about schools).

Can locals give me advice on hotels near gas south arena? I am trying to stay budget friendly but also stay clean, bug free, and safe! Thank you!

Hey, I'm moving to the area for work (around State Bridge Rd), and I’ve been scouting some apartments online. I’m hoping to stay around or under $1,500 for a 1B/1B

I’ve been looking at a few places like Avonlea on the River, The Atlantic Newtown, The Foundary, and breckinridge but I know online reviews can be hit or miss. Has anyone lived in these, or do you have any other recommendations in the Duluth/Johns Creek area/Gwinnett Place?

Love to hear all takes!!

I’m moving to Georgia from Philadelphia in late August for a new engineering job near State Bridge Road in Duluth. I'm buying a car once I get down there. Traffic around Atlanta sounds pretty brutal, so unfortunately, that's off the table for now.

I'm 24, single, and try to stay active. I like trying new things, trying great foods, and maybe check out the nightlife on weekends. I want a place where it's easy to meet other young adults.

Should I just live right near Duluth, or move closer to spots like Suwanee, Lawrenceville, or Peachtree Corners? I’m looking for a 1-bedroom or a decent studio (rent budget is around $900-$1,400 a month). Are there any specific complexes you love? I would love to get those recommendations or tips on areas to avoid.

Thanks for the help!

just the title. i don’t have my card rn and wanna get some stuff there but i’m too nervous to ask. i’m thinking about the one in pleasant hill road. ty!

Hi, I will be working in duluth, ga and i’m looking for an apartment with 1br, 1ba. What apartment can you recommend? My budget is around 1200-1400. Thanks for answering.

Hey folks - I just heard a transformer explore a few moments ago and made my power go out - does anyone have any information on this?

Also, this is the third transformer blow in the past 9-months. I've never lived in an area where transformers are going out so frequently. What's going on?

Hey, everyone! My husband and I are bringing our 8 year old daughter to the reptile expo next weekend. We are looking for some fun things to do! Specifically, I’m looking for coffee shops, family-friendly restaurants, unique shopping, and anything that an 8 year old would enjoy. Thanks in advance!!

My wife is 4 months pregnant. I know most people go to northside in cumming for delivery, but Emory Johns creek is closer and has to be pretty good right? What were your experiences ?
