Gwinnett Early Voting is Going on Now!
Related Posts: Area Information
hiJust an update to the post here from Matt Hermes. Matt’s post indicated that the early voting would happen starting on the 27th. But, there is advanced voting going on right now! We’re still trying to nail down all the details so that we can share them here too!
I think the confusion arose because next week there will be expanded locations for the “advanced voting” but this week you can already vote in Grayson at:
455 GRAYSON HWY, STE 200, LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. VOTING HOURS ARE 9A.M. TO 4:30 P.M.
So far, this Gwinnett County site seems to be the best info.

The New DiamondDwellings.com is Live!
Related Posts: Area Information
hiWe’ve been working on our new site for many months. The #1 feature of this new site is that it syndicates all of the content from our other Diamond Dwellings websites, like SuwaneeDwellings.com and HamiltonMillDwellings.com and GwinnettDwellings.com. The headlines from all of that great content is now presented here for easy access and review.
We’re very excited about this new design. In fact, we think it’s an example of how real estate marketing should be done in this web 2.0 “youtube world”.
We’ve still got lots of work to do on the site, so please let us know if you see something missing or otherwise requiring attention.

Lake Lanier Volunteer Shore Sweep - Hamilton Mill
Related Posts: Area Information
hi ![]()
Are you aware that the Lake Lanier Shore Sweep is scheduled to happen this Saturday the 27th of September.
Last year, 1,300 volunteers collected 50 tons of garbage from the lake in a single day. On Saturday, the group will again call its volunteers to arms as it sponsors
the 20th annual shore sweep event to remove as much trash as possible from the metro area’s main drinking source.
The Executive Director Vicki Barnho
rst, says there is a lot of ground to cover, too.
“Lake Lanier has 540 miles of shoreline,” she said. “We’ve even got a bath tub to remove, and I don’t know what to do with it.”
Barnhorst said there will be three barges working to help assist with transporting items like these. But for anyone else who wants to volunteer for clean up, they’ll receive a trash bag and the association’s blessing to fill the bag with garbage from the lake and to take it to one of 13 drop off locations.
In Gwinnett County, the drop off point will be Waterfront Lanier Harbor Marina off Buford Dam Road. In return for a full bag of trash - mostly boaters trash Barnhorst said - volunteers will receive a free shirt. For participating scouts, they’ll receive a free “Shore Sweep 2008″ patch.
Barnhorst said because of the ongoing drought and because the lake is still much below its full pool level, volunteers should use extreme caution when picking up items near the water. She said safety is always an issue because garbage can include glass bottles and rusted items that can cut through skin.
“There are lots of steep dropoffs, and in some places the sand is almost like quicksand,” she said. “If you’re not a swimmer, please don’t go in the water and please wear a personal flotation device.”
The 20th annual Lake Lanier Shore Sweep will take place Saturday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. Visit www.lakelanier.org and the link for the shore sweep event to receive more information. Or call 770-503-7757.
