Peanut butter on a hot dog? Even Mayor Miller is getting involved

Well, Macon, I’ve apparently started a controversy. And of all the things I could have possibly become known for in this wonderful city, I never imagined it would involve a hot dog, a jar of peanut butter and the Mayor of Macon! But here we are, and apparently my taste in hot dog toppings has become a matter of public discussion. Who knew that something so delicious could cause so much commotion? It all started during a recent episode of my Let’s Eat podcast about Macon Burger Week. One of my fellow Burger Squad members mentioned that cream cheese was an incredibly underrated topping for hamburgers. As we talked about unusual toppings, he suggested cream cheese might even be delicious on a hot dog. That’s when I casually mentioned that my absolute favorite hot dog topping is peanut butter. You would have thought I’d suggested putting motor oil on pancakes! The reactions were priceless, and apparently there are people walking among us who believe peanut butter belongs exclusively on sandwiches, crackers and celery sticks. To those people, I have just one thing to say. You’re missing out! I was recently on The Creek 100.9 on the morning show with Charles

FLOST passes, T-SPLOST 2 rejected by Henry County voters

HENRY COUNTY — Two tax referendums were on Tuesday’s ballot for Henry County voters’ consideration — Transportation Special Local Option Tax (T-SPLOST) and Floating Local Option Tax (FLOST). FLOST was approved, with 61.14% of voters supporting the 1-cent sales tax, while T-SPLOST 2 was narrowly defeated, 51.65% to 48.35%. T-SPLOST 2 Referendum T-SPLOST 2 would have been a continuation of a 1-cent sales tax, with collections earmarked for major road projects, resurfacing of roads, improvements to intersections and more. Henry County Board of Commissioners Chair Harrell said conversations with residents leading up to the election revealed some confusion about the referendum. “In conversations with residents, we heard confusion about whether this was an additional tax, a property tax or a measure focused on public transportation,” Harrell said. “The proposal was a renewal of the transportation sales tax.” The first T-SPLOST for Henry County was approved in November 2021 with collections ending in March 2027. Harrell said T-SPLOST is the primary funding source for roadway improvements across Henry County. As a result of T-SPLOST 2 not passing, Harrell shared a list of projects that will be on hold: — Jonesboro Road widening. — Fairview Road widening. — Bill Gardner Parkway widening.

Henry County freight study plan taking shape

HENRY COUNTY — Nearly two months following the Board of Commissioners’ unanimous decision to conduct a freight study, Henry County’s plan is taking shape. Erin Thoresen, the project manager of Gresham Smith, updated commissioners with the plan’s progress at Tuesday’s meeting. Thoresen said the kickoff meeting was Monday, Oct. 26 and it is an 18-month study ending approximately in February 2028. The county’s freight cluster — an area with a high concentration of warehouses, distribution centers and trucking facilities — stretches from McDonough to Locust Grove. The primary corridor follows Interstate 75, with an emphasis on Ga. Highways 20, 81, 42 and 155, McDonough Parkway and Industrial Boulevard. The county will conduct the study in partnership with the Atlanta Regional Commission as well as the cities of McDonough and Locust Grove. The study’s primary objectives will include addressing truck parking needs, reducing traffic congestion and improving worker access to freight industry jobs. “Fifteen years ago, we didn’t see the same usage of fulfillment centers as we see now where goods are shipped into a distribution center, and then they use smaller vehicles to distribute those out to the retailers in the local area,” Thoresen said. “Those are new and evolving

AROUND TOWN: More redevelopment happening in downtown Lawrenceville

A longtime eatery on the Lawrenceville Square is moving? A bakery/coffee shop may be going in the Lawrenceville Train Depot? There’s a lot happening in the heart of Lawrenceville. After the Metro Atlanta Redevelopment Summit concluded last week, Lawrenceville City Manager Chuck Warbington gave the Daily Post a tease of some redevelopment that is happening in the city’s downtown and depot districts. One bit of redevelopment is actually a relocation. Blue Rooster Bake Shop and Eatery is planning to move off the Lawrenceville Square and head a couple of blocks up North Clayton Street to a new location in the Depot District. Blue Rooster has been on the square, directly across from the north entrance to the Gwinnett County Historic Courthouse, for years, but that will change in the not too distant future. The bakery is currently renovating an old business space at the corner of North Clayton and Born Streets with plans to move into that location once the renovations are finished. “They’ve torn all of the stuff off the sides of the building,” Warbington said. “It looks like a shed now but they’re actually going to be upgrading that. That will be our first food concept down there

America Recycles Day, commemorated annually on Nov. 15, is a Keep America Beautiful initiative that encourages recycling and raises awareness about its environmental benefits, including reducing waste, conserving natural resources and saving energy. Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, a local Keep America Beautiful affiliate, is organizing the event as part of its ongoing efforts to promote sustainability throughout the county. “At Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, we are all about Connecting People and Resources for a Sustainable Gwinnett,” said Schelly Marlatt, executive director of the nonprofit. “Each year, our America Recycles Day event serves as a shining example of our mission in action. We bring our neighbors together with Solid Waste Management, haulers, and a variety of recycling partners.” Marlatt noted that because the organization cannot hold these collection events every month, residents seeking disposal options for items not accepted
