Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 211
Did you know...?
City Council voted to close a few streets in Norcross on Halloween night, making it safer for trick-or-treaters as they travel door-to-door! They will share the official streets and details soon, but we know North Peachtree and Huddersfield/Newbury are on the list.
While we're on the topic, North Peachtree has become a very busy location for trick-or-treaters - and the demand can be a little overwhelming for residents on the street. If you know you won't have many trick-or-treaters at your door (or just want to help out), please consider donating bags of candy to the homeowners on North Peachtree Street to use on Halloween.
Coming Soon: 5 bed/4.5 bath in Georgetown Park
Stephen and Brittany Murray are selling their home in Georgetown Park (but not leaving Norcross)! They want to see if any personal connections are interested before listing it publicly. Reach out to Stephen for more information at stephenm12@me.com or 404.409.8577!

Meet Your Neighbors
Meet the Moons! Josh and Christine (and their two small pups, Polo and Tiny) moved to Norcross in March 2020, a day or two before the full Covid-19 lockdown began. They relocated to Norcross from Buckhead and love our welcoming community, convenient proximity to restaurants, and having 2 breweries within walking distance. Josh works in software sales and Christine is an instructional designer for an insurance company. They enjoy traveling, but when they're home, you can usually find them at Cultivation Brewing or hosting a neighborhood wine or football party.
