Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 232
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
The first car manufactured south of the Mason-Dixon Line was produced in Norcross! Called the NorX, it was built by a company owned by Edward Buchanan, who grew up in Norcross and went on to make it big on Wall Street in the early 1900s. It was sold mostly to upstate New York friends of Mr. Buchanan, and the company disappeared with the collapse of Mr. Buchanan’s fortune.
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Female Soccer Players Needed
Calling all female soccer players/enthusiasts! A co-ed soccer team needs more female players. The league begins March 8th and meets on Wednesday evenings at Brook Run Park in Dunwoody. It’s a great way to have fun and exercise. Contact Luke for more details: lukesleonard1@gmail.com
Ladies with Littles
Kait Randall (check out this week’s “Meet Your Neighbors”) is starting a weekly support group for new moms in Historic Norcross. If your little one is currently 18 months or younger, you are invited to share in the successes and struggles of motherhood. All meet ups will be accessible by stroller, scheduled between *resisted* nap times, and take place at various indoor and outdoor locations as the warmer seasons commence (i.e. Public Library, Thrasher Park, Lillian Webb splash pad, Seven Norcross pool, etc.) Expect simple dinner recipe swaps, hand me down leftover diapers, keepsake seasonal crafts, and no mom shaming in any form. Text Kait at 910-389-7689 for more info!
Master Arts & Cultural Plan
The Norcross Public Arts Commission is working to create a Master Arts & Cultural Plan for the City of Norcross. The Plan will represent everyone who lives, works, and plays in Norcross. Community input and ideas are crucial for success! The survey opened Wednesday, March 1st and remains available until Friday, March 10th. Click here to give your anonymous feedback.

MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS
Meet Kait, Hudson, and Hank Randall! Hudson and Kait moved to Seven Norcross in June 2021 from Austin, Texas, got married in Ball Ground in November 2021, and had Hank (the Tank) in June 2022. They have two cats you'll see in their front bay windows, Bristol and Penny. Hudson is a general contractor for The Conlan Company and, after a decade as an elementary school teacher, Kait now stays at home with Hank. They are both ex collegiate athletes; Hudson was a pitcher for Florida and Kait ran track for NC State. Their favorite part of living in Norcross has been the B&W brew made by Social Fox and the weekly flower subscription by Floribunda. Catch them at the bucket swings at Thrasher Park!
