Dacula Mayor Jimmy Wilbanks answers questions about our community.
In this week's "Three Questions With the Mayor," Dacula Mayor Jimmy Wilbanks provides an update on the latest city news and divulges what places he would most like to visit. Dacula Patch: What's new in Dacula this week? Mayor Wilbanks: I noticed that the Xpress Bus Park and Ride is accommodating nearly five times as many riders on the Xpress buses to downtown than when it started several months ago. I also noticed cars from Barrow County, Fulton County, DeKalb County, Walton County, Habersham County as well as from Gwinnett County.

Dacula Mayor Jimmy Wilbanks explains the history of the location of the new downtown park.
This article was originally posted on the City of Dacula website and is reposted with permission from Mayor Jimmy Wilbanks.

I'm with you on that. Plus, just look at UGA's schedule compared to some of the other SEC teams. It should be a cakewalk, but that's not necessarily indicative of a great team -- just an easy schedule. As for USC, I am still shaking my head over that and am frankly more than a little bit offended they were ranked ahead of BAMA. RTR! more ›
