By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher |  The year was 1973, and Hank Aaron was chasing Babe Ruth’s record of 714 home runs. That was exciting, with some thinking perhaps Aaron would tie the record in the last home stand of that season. At the time, he had hit No. 712.

BRACK: Updating our List of Continuing Objectives for Gwinnett County

Gwinnett County took action in 2020 to ban all tobacco and vaping products from Gwinnett Parks. The outright ban will not only clean up our multi-layered park system, but it makes them healthier at the same time.
