STORY 1: A Gwinnett school bus has turned up in … The Netherlands?

Here’s a quirky tale: A Reddit user from Utrecht, Netherlands, spotted a Gwinnett County Public Schools bus in Dutch traffic and posted about it, sparking curiosity. GCPS confirmed the bus was sold in 2021, with markings supposedly painted over before sale. However, the markings reappeared, leaving officials puzzled. Redditors had a field day with jokes, from “It’s amphibious?” to “I’ll bring it back in my carry-on.” The mystery of how the bus crossed the Atlantic remains unsolved, but it sure gave everyone a laugh!

STORY 2: FIRST LOOK: Mexican Street Food Restaurant Urbana To Open In Grayson

Jaime Ochoa, known for D' Floridian and Anẽjo in Lawrenceville, is teaming up with Yonis Martinez to open "Urbana" in Grayson this June. Located at The Railyard (2115 Loganville Hwy., Suite 102), Urbana will offer authentic Mexican street food and craft cocktails in a chic setting. For details, visit urbanamezcaleria.com.

STORY 3: $100K Fantasy Five Winning Ticket Purchased In Lawrenceville

Last week was a lucky one for Georgia Lottery players! A Sparta resident won $1 million in the Billionaire Club scratch-off game, claiming a lump sum of $535,398.06. Meanwhile, two Fantasy 5 tickets, purchased in Cairo and Lawrenceville, each won $104,977 in the May 23 drawing. Another player hit the May 26 Fantasy 5 jackpot, winning $176,901 with a ticket bought in Palmetto. In total, scratch-off players won over $43.5 million statewide!

STORY 6: Vietnam War Veterans of Multiple Nationalities Join As First Senior Center Commemorates Memorial Day

On May 23, the First Senior Center of Georgia (FSCofGA) hosted a Memorial Day event honoring Vietnam War veterans, marking the 50th anniversary of the war's end. Vietnamese American veterans and Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association members reunited to pay tribute to sacrifices made for freedom. FSCofGA distributed 20 electric wheelchairs and 40 shower chairs, donated by PruittHealth and Friends of Disabled Adults and Children, to former South Vietnamese soldiers. Leaders shared heartfelt messages, emphasizing gratitude, unity, and remembrance of the 58,000 American soldiers who died in Vietnam. The event celebrated enduring bonds and community support for veterans.

STORY 7: Losing a Legend: Brookwood Swim Coach Greg Puckett Remembered Fondly

Greg Puckett, a legendary Brookwood High swimming and diving coach, passed away after battling colon cancer. Known for his humility and dedication, Puckett led Brookwood to 10 state titles and 83 individual championships during his tenure from 1993 to 2017. He was instrumental in advancing Georgia high school swimming, including moving the state meet to Georgia Tech. Beyond coaching, he volunteered for special needs programs and inspired countless athletes and colleagues. Remembered as a kind, selfless leader, his legacy lives on through the Greg Puckett Award and the thriving Brookwood swim program. Memorial service details are pending.
