Not the Norm
On a recent DiG exploration, we uncovered an oddball worm named Norm! As an honorary team member now, he will be digging up all things strange and unusual in Gwinnett. You may think you know Gwinnett, but he has a few tricks up his posterior to share with you all. Featured in our Not the Norm series, things are about to get weird in the best way…

Dugout Drama: Groundhog vs. Worm

Not The Norm: Pink Eats Around Gwinnett
You surface folk have a saying: “you are what you eat”. For a worm like me, a healthy diet of dead plants, forgotten apples and neglected coffee grounds keeps me down to earth. If you don’t share my refined palate but still want a diet
Not the Norm: Thrifting in Gwinnett
Gwinnett is a community full of unique experiences. Many of these gems of the county are permanent fixtures, like the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Lilburn, Chateau Elan in Braselton or the Mall of Georgia in Buford. These places help define our community, but what
Haunted Places in Gwinnett
In my time digging into Gwinnett, I have come across all kinds of stories. Few things in this county surprise a well-traveled bookworm like me, but every now and then I come across a story that can’t be explained by natural logic. This collection of
Not the Norm: Odd Street Names
Like many of my fellow bookworms, one of my favorite topics of conversation is etymology: the study of the origin of words. Often in my journeys across Gwinnett, I find my attention drawn to the names of places around the county, and I wonder how
Not the Norm: Gwinnett’s Best Bathrooms
Anyone can review a restaurant, but we never talk about the unsung hero of public dining: the bathrooms. I’ve inched my way across Gwinnett in search of the bathrooms that go above and beyond, creating a space of relaxation and wonder. These restaurants put in
