Gwinnett Buzz

Bloomberg BusinessWeek has listed Duluth as one of the Best Affordable Suburbs in America for 2010.  Only one community in each state made the list.  A variety of factors were considered in identifying the suburbs that were included:

We weighted a variety of factors including livability (short commutes, low pollution, green space), education (well-educated residents, high test scores), crime (low personal and property crime), economy (high job growth, low unemployment rate, high family income), and affordability (median household income, cost of expenditures).

About Duluth, the magazine said:

A wealthy, fast-growing suburb of Atlanta with a town green, Duluth has a mall, civic and cultural center, arena, arts center, and theater. Residents can also join golf and country club communities.

Coca-Cola will hold its annual shareholders meeting Wednesday at Gwinnett Center in Duluth.  Unfortunately, attendees will have to put up with some uninvted guests.  A radical left wing group (is there any other kind of left wing group?) plans to protest Coke’s alleged killing, oppressing, polluting, blah, blah, blah…

Here is a tip for anyone that might be going.  The best way to deal with radicals such as the “Campaign to Stop Killer Coke” who live in these anti-capitalist, anti-corporate fantasy worlds…IGNORE THEM.  All they are after is attention and if they don’t get it, they will simply go away.
