| Downtowns redefine county
For more than two decades, Gwinnett County has been the quintessential bedroom community, home to far-flung cul-de-sac subdivisions full of starter home commuters who made their way downtown to Atlanta every day. But the times, they are changing. Nowadays, going downtown may mean walking to the square in Lawrenceville or Norcross from a nearby townhome. Rather than boarded-up storefronts, those squares are now home to gourmet restaurants and a range of services homeowners once had to drive to a shopping mall for. As home buyers reconnect with the county's historic town centers, they join a trend happening all over metro Atlanta. .
Lear wins appeal in patent suit
Lear Corp., once the largest supplier of car interiors, won an appeals-court ruling that allows it to continue to provide Car2U garage-door openers to automakers until a Johnson Controls Inc. patent-infringement lawsuit is decided.

The court threw out the order barring sales and sent the case back for further review. .
