Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 209
Did you know...?
We are a few steps closer to a safer, more pedestrian-friendly community! There are new stop signs at the intersection of North Peachtree Street and Sunset Drive to help slow traffic and make crossing the street a little easier. The pedestrian crossing signal moved one block down to the intersection of North Peachtree Street and Buchanan Street (by Thrasher Park). The new 3-way stop at North Peachtree and Sunset began yesterday, Thursday, September 22.
Help a Neighbor in Need
Patty and Marshall Cheek need your help! Marshall recently underwent surgery for cancer. Following the operation, they accidentally purchased him a 4-wheel walker instead of a 2-wheel walker. Not a big deal, except now the insurance company says they already paid for one and won't help again. They urgently need a 2-wheel walker - do you have one to loan them? If so, reach out directly to the Cheeks or email us at YoungNorcross@gmail.com and we will connect you!
