📰 News we're reading

• Chloe Fineman Arrives at the SNL Afterparty in Style in N.Y.C., Plus Bradley Cooper with Gigi Hadid, Nick Cannon and More (people.com) — Tucked inside this national celebrity photo roundup is a local moment from Norcross, where rapper Offset brought his children to the Toys 4 The Nawf Christmas charity event. The rest of the gallery hops from New York to L.A. and beyond, spotlighting stars at games, concerts, parties, and holiday outings. It’s light entertainment, but Norcross readers may enjoy seeing their city named alongside major A‑list stops.
   

• Jug Handles to Jones Bridge (livinginpeachtreecorners.com) — Road changes around Holcomb Bridge and Spalding now reroute left turns toward Norcross via Weatherburn Way and River Exchange, and city leaders say better signage and GPS updates should ease confusion. Peachtree Corners Councilman Eric Christ also details the coming East Jones Bridge closure and detours, Technology Parkway’s redesign, Forum redevelopment, deer overpopulation, and ongoing debate over whether to enhance Gwinnett police services or eventually form a city police department. The conversation repeatedly uses Norcross as a key directional and commuting reference for local drivers.
