My Home

I live in suburban Atlanta. The part of the metro area that I live in is called Gwinnett County, which makes me a Gwinnittian. To narrow it down a little more, I live in Lawrenceville, which is located northeast of Atlanta . . . way northeast of Atlanta. The part of Lawrenceville I live in is called Collins Hill, which is known mostly for its great schools and it's mature trees. Much of Gwinnett County is treeless, thanks to the crooks who run our county planning commission. Their slogan is "The only good tree is a tree that has been chopped down and sold, so that another empty office park, industrial park, or jam-packed commerical strip with an ajoining apartment complex, can be built in its place. With all of the standard kickbacks and graft, of course." This is what our former bubba Governor Barnes (pronounced Guvnuh) referred to at the grand opening of Discover Mills Mall (Gwinnett has 3 malls lining a ten mile span of I-85, one of which is the largest in the southeast U.S.), which stands on what used to be a 100+ acre hardwood forest, as "Discover Mills respects AND PROTECTS the environment!" WHAT?! Yes, he's obviously an politician. See why we moved to Collins Hill? We have plenty of trees, as can be seen in the aerial photo of our subdivision, Edgewater.
