    Lawrenceville Bicentennial Podcast

    The City of Lawrenceville turned 200 in 2021. To celebrate, we launched the Bicentennial Podcast with Gwinnett Magazine. The name fit, and we’ve kept it, though we have moved beyond our 200-year celebration. Offered monthly in audio and video format, the podcast celebrates our vibrant city and features key community members.

    The Depot District: Lawrenceville's Beer & Garden Episode!

    The Depot District: Lawrenceville's Beer & Garden Episode!
    Today's guests are all from businesses in the Depot area of Lawrenceville. Now the Depot area of Lawrenceville has been important since the late 1800s when trains first arrived to the area. Back in those days, it was cotton factories, corn, lumber, brick manufacturing, livestock, and it was fueling the economy of the area. But this new train moved in and freight now could be shipped all the way to the Eastern seaboard. And basically that turned Lawrenceville into this cool transportation hub that really spurred its early economic growth. Today the Depot area is sitting right between the downtown Square and the new College Corridor. The Collins Hill Road extension leads directly into the area between the Square and Georgia Gwinnett College. Today, we have guests from Tropical Roses, Slow Pour Brewing and Ironshield Brewing. And so let's make our way around the table and we'll find out why these fine folks chose Lawrenceville to be the home of their businesses.

    Mayor David Still Joins the Lawrenceville Bicentennial Podcast!

    Mayor David Still Joins the Lawrenceville Bicentennial Podcast!
    There’s so much fascinating and forgotten history behind the places we call home. For example, did you know that in Lawrenceville, there was once a pigeon problem around the historic courthouse—and the government gave people permission to come and shoot the pigeons? Or that Lawrenceville’s old jail had just four cells and still stands today, located right by Strange Taco Bar? Those are just a couple of the surprising stories about the city that Mayor David Still has gathered over the years. As a fourth generation Gwinnettian with many fellow family members who’ve served in the city’s government, David has seen Lawrenceville transform and evolve all throughout his life. His long history working in journalism, business, then mergers and acquisitions helped him make a name for himself in the city, eventually leading David to serve on various city boards and associations until he was personally asked to run for mayor. In this month’s episode of the Lawrenceville Bicentennial Podcast, get to know David Still’s intriguing family history, learn what inspired him to serve others through political office and discover his vision for Lawrenceville’s future. LISTEN NOW And don’t forget – we’re dropping a new conversation with Lawrenceville luminaries every month through the rest of 2021 to celebrate the city’s Bicentennial. So, stay tuned and don’t forget to subscribe!
