Today's riddle: Why do fish live in salt water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Tacos At Waffle House? GA-Based Eatery Tests New Menu Items (patch.com) — Norcross diners may soon notice a big change at their hometown-based Waffle House, as the chain tests breakfast and lunch tacos at about 45 locations across Georgia. The Norcross-headquartered franchise is trying egg-and-cheese breakfast tacos with various meats, plus cheesesteak, chicken and patty melt tacos, all available any time of day for the next few months.
2. Genetic testing lab faces $315M federal penalty for alleged Medicare, Medicaid fraud (wsbtv.com) — A former Norcross genetic testing lab and its owner have been ordered to pay more than $315 million in a civil fraud case tied to Medicare and Medicaid billing. The now‑shuttered Norcross facility allegedly ran unnecessary genetic tests and offered gift cards for samples, though the owner denies wrongdoing and faces no criminal charges at this time.
3. Army wife avoids deportation during Norcross ICE check-in (fox5atlanta.com) — An Army soldier's wife facing deportation was allowed to leave Wednesday's check-in at the Norcross ICE facility and remain free while her lawyers appeal her asylum denial. Local advocates quickly organized a rally, highlighting broader concerns about immigration enforcement against military families and the uncertainty still surrounding whether she'll receive a stay of removal or longer-term protection.
4. PCHS one of 11 programs with 70+ wins this decade (theblacksheartimes.com) — Norcross High's football program is highlighted among Georgia's winningest big-school teams this decade, posting a 52-21 record in Class 7A. The rundown shows how Norcross stacks up against powerhouses like Buford, Carrollton, and Grayson, underscoring the program's consistency in one of the state's toughest classifications.
