Today's riddle: Riddle: David's parents have three sons: Snap, Crackle, and what's the name of the third son? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Mama's Crawfish And Wings in Suwanee receives a 57% on their recent health inspection (thegeorgiagazette.com) — A recent health inspection gave Mama's Crawfish And Wings on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road a failing score of 57 out of 100, triggering a follow-up visit within 10 days. Inspectors cited serious issues like improper cold-holding temperatures, cross-contamination risks, pesticide storage in the kitchen, and record-keeping lapses for shellfish. If you eat there, you may want to watch for that upcoming reinspection.
2. Lincoln Property Company Completes Approximately 300,000 SF of Leasing at Horizon Creek - Lincoln (lpc.com) — A major Suwanee industrial park, Horizon Creek Distribution Center, is now nearly fully leased after Lincoln Property Company secured about 300,000 square feet in new leases, renewals, and expansions this year. With tenants like Kanopy Logistics and PODS recommitting and growing, the park's strong occupancy underscores Suwanee's prime location, interstate access, and labor pool, which help support local jobs and the broader Gwinnett economy.
3. Man gets life for fatal Suwanee gun-sale robbery (fox5atlanta.com) — A Gwinnett County jury has sentenced a Lawrenceville man to life plus 20 years for killing a teen during a gun-sale robbery arranged at a Suwanee apartment complex. The victim, previously described by Suwanee police as 16, was lured through social media to sell a handgun when the robbery turned deadly. Another defendant has already received life, and a third suspect is still awaiting trial.
4. 'You're under arrest. Your dog's dead': Officer confronts dog owner (wsbtv.com) — Suwanee residents should know that local police recently arrested a man after a pug died while chained outside in about 90-degree heat, one of two similar Gwinnett animal-cruelty cases in a week. Officers say county rules require owners to stay outside with tethered dogs, provide shelter and water, and avoid extreme heat. A Suwanee police captain compared the responsibility for pets' safety to caring for children.
5. Hansel and Gretel bakery cafe — Korean-American Owner Resigns After Racial Profiling Backlash (koreadaily.com) — A racial-profiling incident at the Hansel and Gretel bakery cafe in Suwanee, where a Black customer was repeatedly told to leave despite saying he'd purchased food, has sparked widespread backlash online. The franchise has issued a public apology, announced that the local owner will step down, and changed policies so customers can use the cafe without ordering, echoing reforms seen after similar national cases.
