LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — Recently the city of Duluth was featured in National Geographic's cities edition.
Duluth was mentioned in the article, "To build the cities of the future, we must get out of our cars." Duluth and other towns were examined for how they are moving toward the future.
"I came down from Tennessee in 2012, and just the change from 2012 to 2019 is unbelievable," Duluth resident Stewart Large said.
Stewart says Duluth is an area where you can live work and play. According to the US Census, Duluth has gone from nearly 2,000 people in 1990 to over 20,000 people now.
"It's an easy walking distance to play cornhole and have fun here and meet new people," Mark Irwin with Peach State Cornhole said.
Many who work, play and live in Duluth mentioned the convenience of the town, which was highlighted in the article.
Irwin runs a Cornhole league, which meets in the lawn right in front of City Hall, which is a short walk to Parson's Alley. Irwin says many of the members who live in Duluth walk to their location from their homes. It also doesn't hurt that they're within walking distance to local restaurants.
