Gwinnett County, GA is growing some more. 

Gwinnett is already a vibrant and active suburb of Atlanta, GA... and it is getting better all of the time.  Gwinnett will be welcoming the AAA affiate of the Atlanta Braves to the new stadium that is being built near Lawrenceville.  Formerly of Richmond, VA, the Gwinnett Braves will be playing here starting in April of 2009.   

Just a few miles away, the Gwinnett Center and Arena is home to the Arena Football League Georgia Force.  It is also the home of the East Coast Hockey League Gwinnett Gladiators.  The Gladiators are the ECHL AA affiliate of the Atlanta Thrashers. 

Just outside Gwinnett, in Flowery Branch, GA, the Atlanta Falcons practice.  Suwanee, GA in Gwinnett County was their home until their recent move to Hall County.   

If you aren't a stick and ball game kind of fan...  There is racing... LOTS of racing.  

Road Atlanta covers 750 acres of the north Georgia countryside with sports cars and sportbikes.  Most of the major sports car and sportbike series make a stop or two at Road Atlanta.  It is an incredible facility.  The SCCA, Mitty Challence and Petit LeMans are staples each year.   

Right across the road from Road Atlanta is Lanier National Speedway.  This 3/8 mile bullring is what short track racing is about.  When you want to see the NASCAR stars of tomorrow, this is a great place to start.  The racing is wheel to wheel and bumper to bumper. 

Although it is an hour away (more on race day), Atlanta Motor Speedway is where NASCAR's top series visit.  It is the fastest track in the Sprint Cup series.   

Back on the north side of Gwinnett, up the road just past Lanier National Speedway and Road Atlanta is the Atlanta Dragway in Commerce.   the Atlanta Dragway is the place the NHRA comes to play with the big boys.  Until you have experienced a Top Fuel car EXPLODE down the track (reaching 300 mph in 4 1/2 seconds on the 1/4 mile track) you have missed something amazing.  

Ok, so you aren't into racing, either?

Mall of Georgia, Discover Mills, Gwinnett Mall.  Three large shopping destinations in the heart of Gwinnett.  I don't think you could find a more diverse selections of restaurants and shopping experiences in the southeast.  There are also numerous parks and pools operated by the county.  And let's not forget the Yellow River Game Ranch, home of General Lee... he is the most accurate Groundhog on Groundhog Day.  94%...

Finally (skipping about a million other things to do) don't forget Lake Lanier and Lake Lanier Islands.  Beach, Golf, Conference Center, Waterpark, camping... and a really big lake, too.   

If you are looking for a great place to bring your family, your company or your employees to live, give me a call.
