A groundbreaking was recently held at the site for the $1.3 billion facility that is expected to create 1,000 jobs for northeast Georgia. Big Lots Rebounds: How many Big Lots remain in Georgia 2 years after filing for bankruptcy? A spokesman for Walmart said Wednesday that construction on the 1.5 million-square-foot facility is expected to conclude in 2029, but a timetable has not been set for the hiring of employees. A groundbreaking ceremony included Walmart executives, local elected officials, and others at the site was dedicated in Franklin County near the I-85 corridor.

Full of beans: Family recipes face off at Saturday’s history festival in Jasper

FYI – for those, like this editor, who are thinking soup beans? Isn’t that a pot of mushy beans? What’s the big deal? Apparently, we’ve been missing out. The Appalachian staple has seen something of a foodie revival, at least in some circles. You might even say southern foodies are now full of beans – pardon the pun.

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

The Hearty Breakfast At This Georgia Diner Makes Chain Restaurants Look Overpriced

Wood-Fired Steaks With a Beautiful Char Come Out of This Old Tannery Steakhouse in Small-Town Georgia

Steaks get kissed by real wood fire inside a building that once tanned leather. I can’t stop thinking about that combination. The old brick walls now hold chandeliers, lofty dining rooms, and windows looking over a small-town main street. The grill out back adds a smoky char that guests keep bringing up long after dessert.
