David Greer, Publisher of Gwinnett Magazine 00:37:54 When asked who their favorite person is, many children will smile and say “My Mom“. Mom is the first person we ever met, she is there for us before we’ve seen the world! From our first words to our first time leaving the nest, Mom is the one we often call for. When we need advice or when we can’t seem to find that shirt we’re looking for, Mom always knows how to help. Mommas are the teachers of infinite wisdom and we are beyond grateful for them! On this episode of the Lawrenceville Bicentennial Podcast, we sit down with two of Gwinnett County’s leaders and meet the remarkable women who lead and inspire them. It’s a Mother’s Day Special! Join Nicole Love-Hendrickson and her mother, Robin Love! Together they talk about the importance of a village. A support system is a vital element in growing, ask “Mama Love” who has put her heart and soul into raising a family. With two sets of twins, helping hands are always a blessing. Things can get tough, but the Loves know you must learn from it and bounce right back! Whether raising kids or raising a county, it takes teamwork to build and grow. Join Chuck Warbington and his mother, Betty Warbington! Long-time Gwinnettians, they’ve seen the growth of the county through generational eyes. For the Warbingtons, community and family are values that work together to make the most of life. Betty Warbington was born on the square in downtown Lawrenceville (literally!). She works in the First Baptist Church preschool and is a volunteer at the Gwinnett Historical Society. It’s easy to see where the City Manager’s spirit from community came from!

David Greer, Publisher of Gwinnett Magazine 00:29:12 In the latest episode of the Lawrenceville Bicentennial podcast, we take a deep dive into where water goes with Stormwater Coordinator Madison Smith. From precipitation to evaporation, we learn all about the water cycle in elementary school, but the ebbs and tides of how a city water system works are a lot more complicated! It’s not as go-with-flow as you might think, especially when it comes to stormwater (drinking water’s lesser known cousin). In this episode we discuss what you can and can’t do with stormwater, the differences between your sewers and storm drains, and how runoff works back into the water supply. With new programs and education opportunities on the rise, Lawrenceville is focusing on opportunities for cleaner water and better usage.

Hosted by Nate McGill from Gwinnett Magazine, the podcast is all about celebrating the bicentennial anniversary of this charming southern town. In a recent episode, Nate and his guests, Lindsay and Milo, discussed two exciting events coming up in Lawrenceville: a car show in the Depot district and Free Comic Book Day on the city square. The car show is not just for motorheads, but for anyone who appreciates the diverse culture of automobiles. There will be classic American muscle cars, tuner cars, European cars, and even low riders. The event is in partnership with Beyond the Ribbon, a nonprofit that provides resources for families experiencing cancer. The car show will be a mini-cultural festival with food from around the world, different music genres, and activities for kids. Free Comic Book Day is another event to look forward to, especially for fans of comic book culture. It's a mini Comic-Con with interactive workshops, performances, podcast recordings, and tons of comics to choose from. This year, the event will feature a cosplay contest with prizes for novice, journeymen, and master level cosplayers. Both events are designed to be multi-generational and welcoming to everyone. Whether you are a family with kids, a group of friends, or just looking for a stress break, the events promise to have something for everyone.

Now the Depot area of Lawrenceville has been important since the late 1800s when trains first arrived to the area. Back in those days, it was cotton factories, corn, lumber, brick manufacturing, livestock, and it was fueling the economy of the area. But this new train moved in and freight now could be shipped all the way to the Eastern seaboard. And basically that turned Lawrenceville into this cool transportation hub that really spurred its early economic growth. Today the Depot area is sitting right between the downtown Square and the new College Corridor. The Collins Hill Road extension leads directly into the area between the Square and Georgia Gwinnett College. Today, we have guests from Tropical Roses, Slow Pour Brewing and Ironshield Brewing. And so let's make our way around the table and we'll find out why these fine folks chose Lawrenceville to be the home of their businesses.

Whether it’s with Gen X-er’s or Gen Z-er’s, high schoolers or retirees, small business owners or community organizers, there’s a lot of untapped potential that we’re missing out on due to a lack of interaction and collaboration between the groups. That’s why the City of Lawrenceville and workforce development nonprofit Impact46 joined forces to tackle this issue, creating brand-new opportunities and building meaningful community connections along the way! The result was the Summer of Impact, a yearly program that pairs high schoolers with small businesses in Lawrenceville for paid summer internships. The program is a true win-win for the entire Lawrenceville community – creating meaningful early career opportunities for our talented local high schoolers, helping employers gain perspective on the next workforce generation and building relationships that never existed before!

Now the Depot area of Lawrenceville has been important since the late 1800s when trains first arrived to the area. Back in those days, it was cotton factories, corn, lumber, brick manufacturing, livestock, and it was fueling the economy of the area. But this new train moved in and freight now could be shipped all the way to the Eastern seaboard. And basically that turned Lawrenceville into this cool transportation hub that really spurred its early economic growth. Today the Depot area is sitting right between the downtown Square and the new College Corridor. The Collins Hill Road extension leads directly into the area between the Square and Georgia Gwinnett College. Today, we have guests from Tropical Roses, Slow Pour Brewing and Ironshield Brewing. And so let's make our way around the table and we'll find out why these fine folks chose Lawrenceville to be the home of their businesses.
