Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 247
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
Historic Norcross is a popular location for filming television and movies! It’s common for houses, restaurants, and retail buildings to be used for production around town. One Heart Church on North Peachtree Street is commonly the “home base” for talent and film crews. It’s so fun to see our town on tv! A few you may recognize in Historic Norcross are Miracle Workers, Jerry and Marge Go Large, MacGyver, Finding Steve McQueen, Greenleaf, and Queens. Click here to see what else has been filmed in Gwinnett County.
P.S. Happy Father’s Day to all the dadas, daddies, dads, fathers, and grandpas! You’re loved and appreciated!
