I will be in Norcross GA for a week. Can any one from that area suggest someplace I can swim and a nice area to run. Any nice healthy fresh restaurants to hit ? I don't eat meat so please don't suggest a steak house , Ha ha. Money is not a concern ( comapany dime).

Hey Chris-

I live only a few miles from Norcross in Lawrenceville. I can't come up with too many places to run that are nearby other than a couple of local parks like Pickneyville that have paved tracks around the park - maybe a mile or so around. There's another park called Bunten Road Park not too far in Duluth - it's similar to Pinckeyville Park - ball fields in the middle and the track around the outside, but it's a nice park. There are some other really nice places, but you have to drive a little ways to get there. LMK if you need any directions. Restaurants, that's a whole other story. Mostly they all s*#$. There's a little Italian place called Dominic's right in the heart of the City of Norcross which is pretty good and then there's Jason's Deli at the Forum (big outdoor mall). I'm sure the people you're with know where these places are, but I can send you directions if you need. I'll try to think of some more places close to you. Oh and Atlanta is sooooo not pedestrian friendly, so be careful if you're running on the street.
