Here are the top five stories in Loganville-Grayson today:

1. Next week, Operation Southern Slowdown will be in full effect in the Loganville-Grayson area. This initiative seeks to eliminate or at least reduce the amount of reckless and fast drivers on state highways. Since the pandemic, there has been an increase in aggressive drivers on the road, so throughout the week, police are reminding people to be extra mindful of their speed and driving habits when traveling on the highway.

2. Looking for a new place? Check out Patch's weekly Real Estate Roundup for the Loganville-Grayson Area! There are plenty of beautiful houses for sale, and with the fast-paced real estate market these days, you will not want to miss out. Check out these homes before they fly off the market!

3. Interested in learning more about what Gwinnett officials do for the community? The Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center will be holding tours on Friday, Jul. 29.

4. The Trains, Trucks & Tractors exhibit will be at The Southeastern Railway Museum from Aug. 5 to Aug. 7.
