BRACK: Gwinnett cities should raise also statues to their founders

By Elliott Brack  |  Snellville in particular and Gwinnett in general are in debt to Dave Emanuel, who is a member of the Snellville City Council.  He had the idea for Snellville to commemorate its 100th anniversary by erecting a statue of the two city founders, Tom  Snell and James Sawyer.

FOCUS: Longtime Gwinnettian moving away, yet remembers the past

By Jim Cofer  |  As I leave Gwinnett for a new life, I look back on the county where my family has been for 196 years and am wide-eyed with amazement at the changes I have seen and heard my forefathers describe. Much of the change has been for the good, but some, not so much so.
