• Popular Lawrenceville pizza restaurant flunks health inspection with a score of 57 (thegeorgiasun.com) — Lawrenceville diners should know that Riverside Pizza on Riverside Parkway recently failed a health inspection with a score of 57, after inspectors discarded multiple foods for unsafe temperatures and contamination concerns. Repeated problems with cooling cheese and other violations mean the restaurant is one more repeat issue away from a possible permit suspension, with a follow-up inspection due soon.
   

• Rabies vaccine to be distributed via air drops across Georgia (wsbradio.com) — Lawrenceville residents are being reminded about recent rabies cases locally, including a dead bat and cat that tested positive earlier this year, as federal and state agencies conduct a large-scale wildlife rabies vaccine air-drop across north Georgia. While planes and helicopters won't be targeting Lawrenceville directly, officials urge you to avoid contact with wildlife, keep pet vaccinations current, and leave any vaccine baits you might encounter undisturbed.
