Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 366
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
SouthEnd Smokehouse is now serving a brand new breakfast and lunch menu inside 45 South every day of the week! You may have tried SouthEnd’s barbecue at downtown events or during their weekend popups on Skin Alley. The food is delicious and consistent! It’s a dream come true.
Also, part of the ownership team behind Savage Pizza, the Patels and the Chaganis, have opened The Parkside in Peachtree Corners Town Center. The new gastropub is in the former Jinbei West spot adjacent to Peachtree Corners Town Green. They’re in a soft launch mode now (so you can stop by!) with their grand opening coming soon!
PHOTO OF THE WEEK
A photo from Walk with Council on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. A potential parking plan for the City Hall lot was shared!
Submit a photo to be featured! This can be you/your family, cool critters around town, cozy corners you like to rest in, events, the train, sunsets, etc! It’s up to you - just send your photo and a brief description to youngnorcross@gmail.com!
