Gwinnett's Most Misunderstood Street Sign

Long-time DG subscribers have no doubt read our PSA about driving in Gwinnett, but we felt the need to highlight one particular street sign for emphasis as it seems to be almost completely misunderstood. If you have driven in Gwinnett for more than about fifteen minutes, you are likely aware that Gwinnetians have almost no concept of what a stop sign means, but somewhat ironically, they almost always interpret a 'keep moving' sign as a stop sign. *editor's note: yes, we are aware of what 'ironic' means. That's why we said 'somewhat ironically'. It's not like we're Alanis Morissette, who sang an entire song about irony, in which nothing ironic happened, and then named the song "Ironic", which is in fact the only ironic thing about the song. But we digress, and we're not entirely sure what it is about a 'keep moving' sign that inspires such trepidation in Gwinnetian hearts, but it's not uncommon to be behind a line of car...

This Antenna Isn't Fooling Anybody

One of these things is not like the other. Casual passers-by on Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville may have missed it but the discerning eye will quickly find the imposter. We here at DGHQ were stumped concerning the true nature of this device, so we turned to The Man On The Street for his thoughts, and he rather sagaciously suggested that the mysteriously camouflaged antenna is a logical nesting site for the bird surveillance drones that we have previously reported on.

PSA: How to Navigate Parking Lots in Gwinnett County

1. The Speed Limit Some parking lots in Gwinnett have posted speed limits, usually 5 to 10 miles per hour, while others misguidedly rely solely on common sense. Regardless, most Gwinnetians, long known for their independent mindset, tend to ignore any and all speed recommendations. 2. Direction of Travel Parking lots often have arrows and/or angled parking spaces to indicate which direction you should be driving. Gwinnetians are famous for thinking outside the box, so they usually ignore these and will often travel in the opposite direction of what is expected. 3. Parking Your Automobile Reverse parking is both time-consuming and inefficient, which probably explains why it is so popular among Gwinnetians. It's not uncommon to see someone attempt to reverse park two or three times and still miss the spot. Take as long as you need when parking, and consider the lines more of a suggestion than a rule. 4. Crosswalks You may have noticed something similar to the pathway shown abo...

The Editor: I've always got a smile on face here at the editor's desk, because it's impossible to frown when you live in this modern day Eden we call Gwinnett County.
