Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 227
DID YOU KNOW...?
Norcross has a fascinating history and we are lucky to have an expert on its most scandalous stories. For example, have you heard the 1915 tale about a former mayor who died on Christmas Day due to a local butcher and his new shotgun? The fires downtown in 1904 and 1908? Local historian Gene Ramsay dives into these stories and more on his tours, and the next one takes place at the Norcross City Cemetery on February 5 at 2p. It's free to attend!
