MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR
Meet Joe and Julie (Carlyle) Rutkowski! Julie grew up in Norcross during the 1960s and 70s. She knew almost everyone in town. The couple has been living in the house Julie grew up in on Sunset Drive for almost twenty years. They are happy to be part of the Norcross community and look forward to connecting with both old friends and new neighbors.
*Julie recently published a book on Amazon, filled with humorous stories and personal experiences from her time in Norcross. Take a look!
