A stray afternoon t-storm. High: 72 Low: 60.

Here are the top stories today in Duluth:

  1. Gwinnett County police want your unused prescription drugs as part of a national urge to take back any harmful prescription drugs. Come out to your local precinct on Saturday to safely and responsibly hand over your old prescription drugs! (CBS46 News Atlanta)
  2. Homeowners in Gwinnett County are raising red flags over mail delivery issues that have lasted for the past month. Some residents are missing important documents, medications, and packages that were supposed to be delivered to their homes but were never with the mailman. The residents have had to go directly to the post office to collect their mail instead. (CBS46 News Atlanta)
  3. Gwinnett County officials are going to offer $100 gift cards for residents who receive the COVID-19 vaccination this weekend at the Gwinnett Place Sears. If you wish to receive the financial incentive, you must reserve your vaccination slot for Friday by Thursday at 9 AM. If you wish to go Saturday, you must register by Friday at 9 AM. ( The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
  4. JINYA Ramen Bar is preparing to open at the Exchange @ Gwinnett later this month right down the street from downtown! It will be located in the new Sugarloaf apartments near I-85. This is the newest location, and it has several other yummy locations around metro Atlanta. (Gwinnettdailypost.com)
  5. The City of Duluth is currently hiring for four full-time maintenance positions. If you are qualified and interested, you can apply on the city's website. (Atlanta Journal Constitution)
