The popular destination can be seen from all over Gwinnett County.
If you've ever been to Stone Mountain, you know just how much of Atlanta you can see from the top - 60 miles out on a clear day! It's a breathtaking sight, but did you know that the mountain is visible in some pretty surprising places around Gwinnett? The large granite protrusion is visible from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, a number of apartment homes in Buckhead, Memorial Drive, and of course many backroads all over Gwinnett County. For many of us, it's the landmark we see driving down Highway 78 that tells us we're almost home. Take a minute, snap a photo of your view of the mountain and share it with us, with a caption that includes your location.

Take back personal time and clear your mind at Stone Mountain Park this weekend. It's just minutes away from home.
Did you resolve to exercise more this year? Has this resolution moved to the bottom of your never ending to-do-list? Take back personal time this weekend and find renewed peace of mind. Promising to exercise more at home seems futile as it always gets usurped by that to-do list. The great news is that we live very close to one of the greatest outdoor wonders in the South- Stone Mountain Park. I challenge you to hike up the 1.3-mile walking trail this weekend for your escape. Arm yourself with only a bottle of water. As you hike the rocky terrain, you will find that you must concentrate and choose a safe path. Allow yourself to hear the birds, laugh at passing stories, and smile at children looking for animals. As you push toward the top, …

Sam was a champion show dog. Now, he's making history by undergoing stem cell therapy, a procedure that can help relieve the pain of arthritis.
Sam has always been a lucky dog, and soon he will be famous to boot. The 12-year-old border collie, a champion show dog from Memphis, was in nearby Stone Mountain Tuesday, receiving the first—but certainly not the last— same-day stem cell therapy in Georgia, according to the vets who are treating him. His owner, Pam Hays, and the veterinarians at Loving Touch Animal Center hope the procedure will help reduce the inflammation and pain Sam suffers because of arthritis. Loving Touch is located along the Highway 78 corridor, not too from the Lilburn/Snellville area. Dr. Kevin Brantly at Loving Touch has great hopes that stem cell therapy can be used in the future to treat not just arthritis in dogs. “There’s quite a list of other things that …

Stone Mountain's ninth annual Martin Luther King Jr. Parade and Rally will take place at 12:30 p.m. Monday in Stone Mountain Village.
