Which is why I laugh about how Cobb and Gwinnett were against MARTA expansion ("citing" crime concerns) yet significant parts of both counties still had areas go down the toilet.
Well you had a lot of non citizens that came to those areas and blacks escaping the north.

Good seafood all around. Oysters on the half shell, steamed, fried, or however you like them. Good beer selection.
Oyster Bay
Cuban sammiches are GREAT! Nothing bad on the menu. Right next door to Oyster Bay. Be prepared to have your ears overwhelmed with Tito Puente music in the evenings on the weekends.
d'Floridian
For Mexican, I like this little hole in the wall place in the Kroger shopping center on the corner of Grayson Hwy and Gwinnett Drive. It's called Cuernavaca. Armando and Beto have some pretty decent food there.
There's also a La Cazuela about a block away from Oyster Bay and d'Floridian as well as McCray's (Scottish/Irish) on the corner of Crogan and Perry. Across from McCray's is another good place with great BBQ and Cajun ribs known as Foggy Bottom.
That little two or three block length of Crogan St has some decent places to eat!

I’m just off Scenic Hwy in Windsor Farms subdivision. About a mile and a half from Central Gwinnett HS.
I lived right where 316/Duluth highway/lawrenceville suwanee road all basically converge
That was a sweet place to live as literally anything I wanted to do was 2 miles from my apartment at most .

This country fricking sucks right now. Crime is up everywhere and our cities are collapsing under mismanagement, crime, and stupidity.

Yeah the reality is that the correlation between places kids might have crappy birthday parties and shootings is pretty high in Atlanta.

I don't know if we will ever learn more but this doesn't sound random being that no one else was injured or killed.

My favorite thing about the area is that I can hook up my Gheenoe to the truck and head to Abbotts Bridge and spend the day on the Chattahoochee fly fishing for trout. Everything else is lagniappe.
It’s been a good place to live for the past twenty years. (I may still move to a swamp in south Mississippi or south Louisiana when I retire though. Maybe…)

I had to go to that general area last year for work, and I was impressed by what I saw. Seemed like a decent place to live.

Don’t feel too bad. Word amongst the kids is he was buying coke for his girlfriend and tried to rob the dealer. Darwin Award winner.

I read it was a continued dispute that escalated to the other party shooting the kid. They both knew each other and the suspect is in custody.

I am old enough to remember when this would never happen in this part of Atlanta.

This is far from the truth. I know the family, went to high school with both the mom and dad and their son was an upstanding kid. Still not sure of the specifics as to why this occurred but whatever it was, it wasn't worth this kids life. Seems like the shooters (and most like them) resort to killing as a first resort rather than just fighting it out like we did back in the day.
I work in the general area and Sugarloaf Mills is about as sketchy as you can get at night. I would stay clear of this area once that sun started going down, nothing good happens over there. The mall operator (Simon) has really let this place go. You have people to go to the mall for Bass Pro Shops and complete opposite set of people that go there for trouble.

Like many suburbs of Atlanta that used to be at least mediocre, it's nonetheless pretty undesirable at this point
From my experience with some court filings over there...admittedly a bit dated...you are correct. I can name many towns that have a similar construct but the D&B area seemed pretty solid as a whole. I need to figure out how to make a swivel for heads now though, is it seems they will unfortunately be necessary before long and you can make bank with that invention.

I don't have the slightest clue of anything at all relating to this story, but just because you know the parents and family doesn't mean you know everythign the kid was doing. Teenagers are just that, and they are surprisingly good at keeping some things hidden from their parents (and their parents high school friends).
Pretty much every single person I was really tight with in HS/college was a "good kid". Got good grades. Dressed well. No legal trouble. Yes sir/no sir. Please and thank you. The role model of a good teenager. But every one of us drank and did drugs starting in high school. It's just not something that would be advertised to our parents.

I'm not sure if that's the term I'd use, but it's certainly not waht it was 20 years ago. The same can be said for all of Gwinnett county. I grew up in gwinnett somewhat near lawrenceville and it was kind of that perfect blend of "used to be really small town but isn't quite THAT small time anymore and has plenty of stuff for poeple to do" but hadn't really exploded off the charts yet. Now it's all unrecognizable. Gwinnett county is a dump outside of a few enclaves of really nice subdivisions but even those erally nice ones are right next to ones that are filled with trash. You could quadruple my salary and I wouldn't even consider living in gwinnett county these days.
