As jobs leave Duluth, like glacial break up...

I go to Lawrenceville and Norcross to find work.

Duluth went from the genesis of John's creek to waste management, so the most expensive city in Georgia was unaware of what was happening in its outskirts. A single highschool where my daughter attends birthed John's Creek, Northview and Peachtree Ridge like triplets; then like the offspring of suburban sprawl, forgot where they came from.

My last day working in John's creek, two lady coworkers with many male acquaintances said I should work at the Publix warehouse (Lawrenceville) or Eagle rock (Norcross). I found work in Norcross. Guess I was good enough to work in John's creek but not rich enough to live there.

Meanwhile, Duluth got left behind.

Why are some cities too expensive to live in, doesn't seem fair
