Some Things to be Thankful for in Tucker

At least we're not one of the turkeys involved in this debate!

1. We like where we live the way it is right now.

2. We can find where we live on a map, globe or with GPS.

(and, Google Maps doesn't get confused about which one is the CITY and which one is the STREET NAME.)

3. The best things in life are free.

4. In life, finishing first is not the same thing as winning.

5. If nice guys finish last, at least we will be surrounding by other nice people.

6. We know the difference between MORE and BETTER.

7. We have more medical and professional workers than we do lawyers or politicians. Nuff said!

8. We know a turkey when we see one.

9. The eye of a storm is the most peaceful location, if you are into that sort of thing.

10. We can't possibly become more conveniently located than we are now to everything.

11. We know we made good investments in our homes because just look at what those folks over at Lakeside are willing to pay for the exact same thing!

12. The bad press DeKalb is getting doesn't really affect us because we're based out of Gwinnett County anyway.

13. We KNOW we can Always Vote NO!

14. People make up the heart of a real community; politicians just try to put their spin on it.

15. We have something great that already exists and is worth protecting while others only have ideas they have to try to convince you and everyone else to go along with.

Welcome to Smoke Rise, Soon to be Tucker, GA

This could be the change that residents will see if Tucker 2015 is successful in getting its referendum nto a ballot and voters approve it. The driving force behind the city of Tucker has been the leadership within the community known as "Smoke Rise, GA." Smoke Rise residents currently have addresses that say "Stone Mountain, GA" and many of them worked hard in order to create a separate identity for themselves, petitioning the U.S. Post Office to change their official name to "Smoke Rise." While the Post Office did not agree to change the official name, they did agree to allow "Smoke Rise" as a recognized alternative to "Stone Mountain" that could be used interchangeably as long as it accompanied their 30087 zip code. It is important to note that these residents did not ask the Post Office to recognize their use of "Tucker" as an acceptable alternative. They asked to be called "Smoke Rise." It appears t...

UPDATED: Szubski Lands Project Manager Position with JE Dunn Construction

It seems that congratulations are in order for two of Tucker's most "upwardly mobile" residents: Ben and Sonja Szubski, active promoters of the city of Tucker effort since it started. We wanted to make sure our readers were aware of how there is a real and very serious connection between the leadership driving this city effort, and the development groups seeking to tear down and destroy (so they can then buy cheap and rebuild) what we know and love about Tucker. First, here is the announcement from JE Dunn Construction: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Ben Szubski Joins JE Dunn Construction as Project Manager Press release from the issuing company Monday, June 30th, 2014 Ben Szubski is extending his 18-year career in construction by joining JE Dunn Construction Company as a project manager, the company announced.

The Media Gets It Wrong, Again!

HQ For DeKalb's Police, Fire Rescue, Emergency Management, Public Safety, 911 and more! This is Tucker! But a report coming from this location does NOT mean the crime was committed in T ucker. The news media falsely reported that a crime was committed in Tucker, simply because they were getting information from the police HQ, which is located in Tucker. This is not the first time this has happened. Save Tucker! posted the correct locations based on the addresses given by police from the beginning. (see above.) We asked for a retraction. We have also asked local media to please be more careful in their rush to get a story on the air. Many Tucker residents were on edge as they were being told the carjacking happened in their community. Because this subject did come up again, it gives us another opportunity to point out to the residents of the proposed Lavista Hills that they should seriously be worried about the plan to form a dep...
