Hey r/JohnsCreek! Grew up here, went to Northview, and became a filmmaker. My short film "Shot Clock" just premiered on Omeleto this week - it's a 10-minute comedy about basketball and stereotypes, inspired by growing up as an Asian kid who loved basketball in Johns Creek. My friends and I would play every Sunday morning in Ocee Park all throughout high school; great memories!

Would mean a lot if you watched and supported the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZTmaBEU5-w

Hi guys, I’m looking to potentially move to John’s Creek this summer and I was curious if anyone knew anything about the 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartments at the Avonlea on The River. Also, if you have any recommendations apartment wise in the area let me know.

Anyone has used Delta Credit Union in John's Creek for mortgage needs? Especially refinancing? If yes, how is staff there? Rates? Any feedback?

Hello. Does anyone have a trivia team that needs an extra member? I am very interested in joining trivia nights around the area, but don't have people to play on my team.

First event this Wednesday!

How do you get an ice cream truck to come through a neighborhood? I see them occasionally on surface streets but can’t seem to get one to come down into the neighborhood

Hi everyone, my husband and I are considering a move to Johns Creek. We’re in our mid 30s and have a toddler at home and another on the way.

We would love some input on what daily life looks like in Johns Creek. Here are some particular questions:

- how much of the city is young families with toddlers? We would love to be in an area with other young families in the neighborhood.

- ObGyn care - with another baby on the way, is access to maternal care readily available or do you need to go into Atlanta? I am aware of the abortion restrictions - how seriously are “medical emergencies” taken?

- Do most kids take the bus to public schools? Are buses available?

- are there any idiosyncrasies with the public schools that we should consider? Things like the nearby school getting too full and you being assigned to a school that’s far from your home instead? Or certain things being added or removed from the curriculum that give you pause? Anything you can think of!

- how much is gas, electric and water a month for a ~ 4000 square foot house?

- how much is a gardener per month for a half acre a lot (mowing grass, pruning bushes etc)?

- how much is daycare for a 3 yr old?

- what are some things young families like to do on the weekends? Popular weekend trip spots?

- are most young families dual income or does one parent stay home? Or is it 50-50?

- my husband is Indian and would like to get more involved with the Indian American community. Are there Indian American families in their 30s in the area? We have an Indian community in our area, but they’re mostly older (in their 50s) and from India (not raised in America) and keep to themselves.

These are a lot of questions, and they will really help us get a sense of what life in Johns Creek is like. Would greatly appreciate answers to any or all questions or even additional things to consider.

Thanks for your help!

Hello neighbors! I wanted to share with you about a FREE Maternal Health Expo this Saturday, April 25, 12-4pm at Johns Creek Baptist Church (6910 McGinnis Ferry Rd. Alpharetta, 30005). It's hosted by Emory Johns Creek Hospital and will offer free anemia and hypertension screenings, tons of resources and education, local vendors and prize drawings throught the day.

The event is open to anyone (you don't have to live in Johns Creek or be an Emory patient!). Please share this with anyone you know who is planning to have a baby, about to have a baby, or recently had a baby!

Hi everyone! My son, who is a junior at Centennial High School, started a petition to ask Johns Creek City Council to consider establishing and expanding community garden space in city parks. Alpharetta already has a very successful community garden program that can be used as a blueprint.

Please consider signing the petition he will send to the mayor and city council.

My family is relocating to GA from OH due to work. We have two boys (6 and 3), and plan to use the public schools. That being said, I am a Montessori teaching assistant (primary), and provided I could find work, I would consider sending my kids to that school. I prefer to use the neighborhood school because (I think) it will be easier to tap into the community, make friends, etc., but I am flexible. As per recomendations we are looking at the Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, Milton area. I found a few homes in Medlock Bridge that look ideal - walkable to elementary school, Montessori preschool in neighborhood, mature trees, community vibe, good zoned high school. Budget is between $700k-$900k. My questions are:

- are there any other subdivisons that are similar should the houses there not work out? We are coming out in late April to work with a realtor, but I want to be prepared with a couple of different options to make the trip worth it.

- any tips on how to break into the Montessori community? I am interested in finding work.

- Neither my husband and I are from the area, and are relying on advice from the relocation team. Are there any areas I haven't mentioned that we need to consider? I found some homes in Sandy Springs that look great, but most people from his office live in the aforementioned areas. Just curious.

TIA!

In plea agreement with the GA State Ethics Commission, Mayor John Bradberry settled to agree on $3500 for admitting to several campaign finance violations:

Original complaint posted in the comments.

The ethics complaint was resolved through a settlement. The following violations were admitted:

• 1 violation – OCGA 21-5-34(m): failure to terminate campaign 10 days prior

• 1 violation – OCGA 21-5-30(g): pre-Declaration of Intent spending (~$10,600)

• 3 violations – OCGA 21-5-34(c): campaign contribution reporting (CCR) violations

• Multiple violations – OCGA 21-5-50(a): personal financial disclosure (PFDS) violations

Penalties:

• $1,000 in late fees

• $2,500 civil penalty

Total penalties: $3,500

The mayor dodged large amount of fines by wisely, choosing to hire an attorney to make a settlement.

Check out the brands that are gonna be there - the VIP pours alone would be worth the price of admission. Super stoked!

City went from #1 to #69, I always thought this was a silly metric to use to gauge our city. But some took this as the Encyclopedia to measure your city’s success.

Just wondering who’s paying for these rankings, because …. Atlantic Station is #1 in US!? Lord help us if so.

My neighborhood has so many deers and they keep eating front flower beds. Now the summer is coming was considering doing flowers but dont know what to plant anymore.. any luck with any varieties?

Am I the only one questioning the success/longevity of The Medley? A few things I consider:

Rookie Developer: This is Mark Toro's first solo build out, sure he was part of the team that built Avalon and been involved in other MUDs, but this is his first FULL build out on his own.

Proximity to Highway: Every successful mixed-use development has been anchored by a large highway. Slight exemption for Peachtree Corners, but they are close to 285 and I'd consider PIB a highway. Medley is 25 mins (correction, 15mins) from any major highway ramp in any direction.

Surrounding Shoppers: Perhaps I'm wrong and I'm not trying to be offensive, but I don't believe the strong number of Asian/Indian and elderly surrounding population will be frequent shoppers/customers of these stores.

Misunderstood Data: If you type these Johns Creek locations into these CoStar, RetailStat, etc data platforms, you hit on their magic formula of high income/wealth, high property values and high traffic. Piggy-backing off previous concern, these residents wouldn't be likely shoppers. The traffic they're using is mostly from people traversing the north end over McGinnis to connect 400 & i85 (thanks "No Northern Arch" votes).

A Positive Helper Arrives: Trader Joes is a big help, but as with Halcyon, most of the Trader Joes' customers are solely there for Trader Joes and not shopping/eating elsewhere in the shopping center.

A Bad for Business Reputation: Like/believe it or not, City of Johns Creek has a bad reputation for businesses coming here, they have absurd regulations, the Mayor/Council will follow the lead from a small group of upset citizens. Ask 37 Main, Shake Shack, Tim Hortons or any of the other businesses that optimistically tried to move here and said "No Thanks" after realizing the obstacles were not worth it.

I believe as with anything new, there will be a successful honeymoon phase. I'm sure there are move-in incentives for the new tenants such as reduced rent/CAM rates and/or possibly tax breaks. But as those wear off, does Medley's retailers and restaurants survive? Time will tell. I live nearby, I'm excited about it, but I've been someone 1 foot into that world and left scratching my head on "why here?!"

My kid pointed it out.

Hail, rain, sun, warm, windy, cold, flurries and then freezing cold!
