Podcast 335 - Building Community in Dunwoody at Crema Espresso Gourmet - Roey Shoshan

Thirteen years ago, a small group of friends missing the coffee culture they grew up with back in Israel took over an old butcher shop on Mount Vernon Road and turned it into Crema. Roey Shoshan was one of them, and he joined me to talk about how that little shop became one of the most loved gathering spots in Dunwoody.

Roey and his co-founders sold their stake in 2014 to Erez Inbal, who took over with business partner Udi Goldstein and has carried Crema forward ever since. Roey doesn't take the credit for what it's become. He points straight to Erez for building it into what he calls Dunwoody's version of Cheers, the kind of place where the staff knows your order and your name before you say a word. We also got into why Dunwoody has seen a real coffee shop boom since COVID, and why Crema's still the one everyone else is measuring up to.

We talked about the choices behind that feeling too. Crema still doesn't have a drive thru on purpose, Erez wants people walking in the door and saying hello. During COVID, when so much of Dunwoody shut down, Crema found ways to stay open for the community that leaned on it. It also traces back to a serious investment in their espresso machine, a La Marzocco, on day one. Roey works at the JCC too, and we touched on what that place means to Dunwoody, though that's a conversation for its own episode.

Podcast 334 - The Low-Key Walk That Became Dunwoody's Newest Community - Jess Zeewy & Delia O'Malley

Jess Zeewy and Delia O'Malley were just doing their normal walk around Brook Run Park, until they decided to invite some friends along. 27 Dunwoody women showed up.

We talked about their zero expectations philosophy, why admitting adult friendship is hard, and how the group spans every age. That first week, a 21 year old fresh out of college showed. As well as a 67 year old brand new to Dunwoody who didn't know a soul yet. Jess brings her background as a personal trainer and nutritionist, and Delia's own wellness journey over the years shapes how judgment free it all feels. Lucky Goat Coffee Co. became their official post walk spot after owner Josh reached out within hours of launch, wanting real community and offering to help. Their GroupMe has grown to about 108 women strong.

Lucky Goat's celebrating its one year anniversary this week, with a Kendra Scott event coming in August, and a Pure Barre class in the works for September. If you want to join in, they walk Sunday mornings at 10am and Wednesday evenings at 6pm, both at Brook Run Park. No pressure, no sign up required, just show up.

Podcast 333 - How IHG Became One of Dunwoody's Biggest Community Partners - Colin Macdonald

Dunwoody just had its 50th annual 4th of July Parade, and by every account it was the biggest and best one yet. IHG Hotels & Resorts was this year's platinum sponsor, and I sat down with Colin Macdonald, who runs IHG's franchise operations across the U.S. and Canada, to find out why a company headquartered in Dunwoody keeps showing up for this city. Turns out the parade was just one small piece of it.

We also got into IHG Army Hotels, the part of the business that runs hotels right on military bases, the renovation that turned Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia into a real destination under GM Sharon Kilmartin, and IHG's work fighting human trafficking alongside groups like Wellspring Living and Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp. IHG has been headquartered behind Ravinia for more than thirty years now, with about 1,300 employees and five hotels right here in Dunwoody.

If you haven't tried Parkwoods, the restaurant and bar on Ravinia's ground floor, or the Backyard at Parkwoods out back, put it on your list, especially once the holiday lights go up in December. And a big thank you to the IHG team, they didn't just show up on parade day, they helped us spread the word beforehand too.

Podcast 332 - A New Season, a New Stadium, and Players Who Make Dunwoody Proud - Coach Matt Schmitz

Coach Schmitz is back on the podcast, and Dunwoody football is in an exciting spot. It had been almost a year since our last conversation, and the program is heading into year two with real momentum, a returning coaching staff, and nearly a hundred kids on the roster.

We covered a lot. Coach talked about why keeping Dunwoody kids home matters more to him than recruiting new ones, and how the Junior Wildcats feed right into the high school program under the same booster club. We got into the Chamblee rivalry and the Golden Spike, the football team carrying that giant American flag in the July 4th parade, and why so many families are choosing Dunwoody these days.

We also dug into the new home field. Seacrest Stadium will finally give the Wildcats their own place to play on campus, instead of sharing a field with Chamblee. It is made possible by a major gift from Dunwoody alum Ryan Seacrest, matched by the community through the Bring It Home campaign, and it brings Coach Mike Nash's old dream of Dunwoody kids walking to their own game within reach. Between a returning staff, a deep roster, and a new home field on the way, there is a lot to look forward to this fall. Give it a listen and get ready for some Wildcat football.

Podcast 331 - Dunwoody's Insider Summer Guide, From the 50th Parade to the World Cup - Mark Galvin

After watching the U.S. beat Paraguay in the 2026 FIFA World Cup — one of the most historic wins in U.S. soccer history — the energy around Dunwoody this summer is electric. Mark Galvin of Discover Dunwoody came on the podcast already pumped about the World Cup, and it's easy to see why: local restaurants are setting up watch parties all over town and the whole community is fired up.

High Street is expanding fast, Perimeter Mall is getting its biggest overhaul in years, and a brand new tearoom at Park Place just opened that Mark says rivals anything in Atlanta. Dunwoody is quietly leveling up, and this conversation is the fastest way to catch up.

If you're looking for something fun to do with your kids, I got early access to Thrillz in Doraville, an indoor adventure park near Assembly Atlanta with trampolines, zip lines, and 35-foot slides. We also grabbed tickets to Big League Wiffle Ball at Assembly, backed by Gary Vee, Kevin Costner, Tony Robbins, TI, and Julio Jones. It might be the most fun $7 you'll spend this summer.

All of that plus the 50th Dunwoody 4th of July Parade, where Discover Dunwoody is bringing the trolley and handing out red, white, and blue soccer balls. Fifty years. Follow Discover Dunwoody on Instagram to stay on top of everything happening this summer.

Podcast 330 - Dunwoody Tavern is Bringing Back their Dunwoody Beer Fest as Tunes and Taps - Huw Thomas & Miguel Romero

Huw Thomas has been running pubs in Dunwoody longer than most of us have lived here, and Miguel Romero of Taqueria Los Hermanos has become one of the most beloved anchors at the Shops of Dunwoody. Together, they're bringing back a Dunwoody tradition that drew thousands of people a year over more than a decade. And it's happening May 30.

Huw's story is one of my favorites. He moved here just before the 1996 Olympics, looked around at a neighborhood with nowhere to grab a beer and a burger, and decided to fix that. That became Dunwoody Tavern. Thirty years later, Dunwoody Restaurant Group has five active locations across metro Atlanta, and Huw has had buildings named after his company at Camp Twin Lakes because of a 30-year fundraising partnership with the charity.

Tunes & Taps is the new version of the Dunwoody Beer Fest, and it's going down May 30 from 4 to 10pm at the Shops of Dunwoody. Your $20 gets you in the door, live music from Mike Veal Band and the Basement Band, great food, and a raffle for $3,000 in DRG gift cards. Every dollar from ticket sales goes directly to Camp Twin Lakes, and 20% of Dunwoody Tavern's sales that day go to the charity too. Grab your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tunes-taps-tickets-1988120706552

Podcast 329 - Dine Around Dunwoody Brings Food and Music to New Spots Across the City - Tim Brown

Food Truck Thursdays is getting a refresh, and DHA President Tim Brown joined me to break it all down. After 15 years as a Dunwoody staple, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association decided it was time to shake things up, and what they came up with is worth getting excited about.

Dine Around Dunwoody is the new series: five events from May through October, each one at a different location around the city. Think family-friendly food trucks, live music or DJs, and yes, the Chick-fil-A cow. Instead of everyone coming to Brook Run every time, the DHA is bringing the party to Spruill Center's hidden courtyard, the amphitheater at High Street, and spots a lot of Dunwoody residents have honestly never visited. And Moondog Growlers is back as the adult beverage partner, which Tim says was the most-requested community return of the year.

This episode is also a great window into how much the DHA has evolved lately. New logo, new website, a growing social media presence, and a slogan that says it all: "Neighbors Connecting Neighbors." Tim gives a lot of credit to the team around him, and it shows. The kickoff is May 21 at Brook Run Park from 5:30 to 9 PM.

Podcast 328 - How Discover Dunwoody Is Selling the City to the World - Mark Galvin

Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody sat down with me this week, and we got into some fun conversation. With World Cup coming to Atlanta and Dunwoody sitting on its strongest lineup of restaurants, events, and hotels in years, Mark makes the case that his organization has never had a bigger opportunity in front of them.

A lot of Dunwoody locals have a general sense of what Discover Dunwoody does, but the reality is bigger than most people realize. Mark's team has been running TV commercials in Mexico, Argentina, and Spain through Gray Digital Media and Telemundo stations, advertising Dunwoody to international soccer fans in their native Spanish. The strategy is straightforward: Dunwoody does not need to compete with downtown Atlanta. It just needs to be found. Their tagline captures it perfectly. "Above Atlanta and Beyond Expectations."

We also talked about the real restaurant numbers (50+ new openings in four years, and yes, Mark gently corrected a stat I have been misquoting on this show), Stäge Kitchen and Bar now open at Campus 244, the brand new Le Faucheur Tearoom at Park Place, The Daily Pilates at Ashford Lane, the Dunwoody Arts Festival on Mother's Day weekend, World Cup soccer balls at the 4th of July Parade, and Create Dunwoody's DoorWoody art installations going up in the Village. Mark knows this city as well as anyone.

Podcast 327 - How to Get Involved in Dunwoody’s Nonprofits - Catherine Lautenbacher & Beth Lehman

Catherine Lautenbacher and Beth Lehman are back on the podcast with something new to Dunwoody. A volunteer fair. On Friday, May 1st, the First Annual Perimeter Community Volunteer Fair is happening at Dunwoody United Methodist Church from 10am to 1pm, and if you've been meaning to get more involved in your community, this is your entry point.

Here's something that might surprise you. Catherine did a quick count and Dunwoody alone has at least 34 nonprofits, and every single one of them is looking for help. The problem has never been a shortage of opportunities. It's been knowing where to find them. Beth organized this fair as her Leadership Perimeter class project specifically for people who want to give back but haven't figured out where they fit yet.

The fair brings 12 to 15 local organizations under one roof, from well-known names like the Community Assistance Center to Sandy Springs Youth Sports. You can walk in not knowing what you want to do and walk out with a real commitment. Head to igottavolunteer.com to see who's coming, and show up to see how you can help.

Podcast 326 - Why World-Class Chefs Keep Showing Up to Cook in Dunwoody - Billy Kramer

The Burger Benefit is back for one final year, with chefs like George Motz, Vinnie Cimino, Kevin Rathbun, and Freddy Money cooking one-day-only burgers at NFA Dunwoody on May 3rd. Every ticket dollar goes directly to the Giving Kitchen, and tickets just went on sale today.

We also got deep into the Dunwoody restaurant scene. Forty-one restaurants opened here last year, and Billy made a strong case for why Dunwoody is a unicorn compared to every other market he looked at for expansion. We talked about what the Giving Kitchen actually does for food service workers in crisis, and why Billy is now permanently donating a quarter from every NFA burger sold.

If you have never been to the Burger Benefit, this is the one to go to. It is the last one ever, the lineup is the best it has ever been, and the cause could not be more worthy. Grab your tickets at https://givingkitchen.org/events/the-final-burger-benefit-presented-by-georgia-natural-gas/ before they are gone.

Podcast 325 – How to Spot and Stop the Scams Hitting Dunwoody Right Now – Dale Cardwell

People in our community are losing thousands to fake job offers, government grant schemes, and AI voices impersonating family members. Most don't see it coming until it's too late.

Dale Cardwell has spent his whole life protecting people across the Top End of Atlanta. He's lived in this community for 25 years, and after three decades as an investigative journalist exposing fraud and corruption, he built TrustDale and launched his podcast, Trust Issues, specifically to help people avoid getting scammed. He's genuinely invested in making sure his neighbors don't get taken advantage of.

But Dale's story goes deeper. He broke some of Atlanta's biggest investigations — the Derwin Brown assassination, Linda Schrenko's embezzlement scheme, the corruption that forced Jacquelyn Barrett out as Fulton County Sheriff. For 25 years in Dunwoody, he's been the guy who digs into what's really going on.

Podcast 324 – High Street Expansion, Perimeter Mall Updates, and Kroger Gas

Dunwoody is having a moment, and you can feel it in the steady wave of new businesses, fresh concepts, and cranes in the sky. Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody connects the dots on what’s changing around the Perimeter area, and why it all matters for locals.

The High Street project is bigger than most people realize, stretching farther than expected and shaping up to rival Avalon with a strong focus on restaurants, retail, and walkability. Add in names like Varuni Napoli, Krua Thai, and Patrones, and you can feel the food scene leveling up fast. Even spots near the office corridors are coming back to life.

Over at Perimeter Mall, a major food court relocation and new retail like Aritzia signal long-term confidence. Throw in fun concepts like Bunker Golf and a growing lineup of events, and progress in Dunwoody just keeps getting better.

Podcast 323 – What Dunwoody Parents Need to Know Before the March 26 DHS Meeting – Andrew Ziffer

Thursday, March 26th at Dunwoody High School is shaping up to be one of the most important nights for local parents in quite some time. A 6pm meeting gives Dunwoody residents a chance to weigh in on school redistricting plans that could reshape our community.

DeKalb School Board member Andrew Ziffer breaks down what’s driving the conversation. The district has thousands of empty seats overall. Dunwoody elementary schools follow that trend, yet Dunwoody High School is overcrowded. The goal is simple but tough: use existing space better with minimal disruption to the elementary schools neighbors love.

Vanderlyn and Kingsley seem to be at the center of closure discussions, and Chesnut for expansion. Be sure to show up Thursday night and make your voice heard!

Podcast 322 – Dunwoody High Reopens Its Renovated Theater with Little Women – Amanda Lower

Dunwoody High School’s newly renovated theater is stepping into the spotlight with the Broadway musical Little Women. Director of Theatre Amanda Lower explains how the upgrade is transforming the Wildcat Theatre program and giving students hands-on experience with professional-level lighting and sound.

A new LED lighting system lets students control stage color and mood digitally instead of swapping old-school gels, creating a more polished show while teaching real technical theater skills.

Amanda also shares how classes like acting, improv, technical theater, and public speaking help students build confidence, creativity, and teamwork. Beyond the stage, the Dunwoody High speech team is also finding success in competitions around metro Atlanta.

Opening night Friday includes a special gala celebrating the renovated theater, complete with refreshments and a short video showing off the new lighting and sound system. It’s a big moment for arts education in Dunwoody.

Podcast 321 – How Morty’s Expansion and {S}table Are Reshaping Funwoody – Mitchell Abes

Mitchell Abes shares how a few unexpected opportunities in Dunwoody Village allowed the Funwoody team to think bigger. When extra space suddenly became available, they did not hesitate. Walls were pushed back and new concepts took shape, creating fresh momentum near Perimeter Mall.

{S}table is opening soon in the former Steak and Grace space with a modern Southern menu designed for real life in Dunwoody. Think fried chicken, rich comfort flavors, and a space that works just as well for brunch as it does for date night. Just steps away, Morty’s expanded its footprint, added the Smokehouse Stage, and now hosts trivia on Wednesdays, karaoke on select Thursdays, and Dueling Pianos every Friday and Saturday starting March 6.

Then there is Green Eggs and Kegs on April 18, the “best party in the burbs.” From 1 to 5 pm, the courtyard and parking lot fills with 30 restaurants, 50 drink sponsors, and live music from 770’s and Family Truckster, all benefiting Breakthrough T1D. It is the kind of event that reminds you why Dunwoody feels like home.

Podcast 320 – Coach Tez and the Rise of Dunwoody Girls Flag Football – Montez Swinney

Dunwoody girls flag football has taken off in a big way, and Coach Tez is right at the center of it. Montez Swinney has helped turn Dunwoody girls flag football into one of the most talked about programs on campus, all rooted in one clear belief: FAMILY.

He launched the team during COVID with just 22 girls and a vision. Now more than 100 athletes try out each year. The program includes multiple levels, a growing feeder system, and a region championship banner to prove the work is paying off. Coach Tez was even named Coach of the Year, but ask him and he will point back to discipline, preparation, and accountability. His teams study film. They correct mistakes. They show up for each other. He also leads the girls lacrosse team at Dunwoody High, and many of the same athletes switch jerseys each season, carrying that same standard from fall flag football to spring lacrosse. And that connection shows. The girls compete hard for each other, but they also compete hard for a coach who loves them like FAMILY.

Podcast 319 – The Feeney Legacy Project and Why You Should Always Call 911 – Lia Armistead

Lia Armistead shares the story behind the Feeney Legacy Project, born from a tragic loss that might have had a different outcome. After her brother experienced cardiac arrest, the person with him hesitated to call 911 out of fear of getting in trouble. That delay mattered. Now her family is working to make sure more people understand Georgia’s 911 Amnesty laws and know they are protected when they make that call.

The message is simple. Call 911. Then start chest compressions immediately until paramedics arrive.

The annual Feeney 5K at Brook Run Park brings that mission to life. It is an AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier, but it is also built for families, walkers, and anyone who wants to support something meaningful. Mad Italian is also hosting a month-long fundraiser to rally local support.

Podcast 317 – Atlanta’s World Cup Moment Will Change Soccer Forever – Neil McNab, President of Georgia Soccer

Who better to talk about soccer’s next big moment than Neil McNab? He’s the President of Georgia Soccer and the man who helped bring organized soccer to Dunwoody as Executive Director of Rush Union.

The 2026 World Cup is headed to Atlanta, and if history repeats itself, the sport is about to surge. After the 1994 tournament, youth participation in the U.S. jumped 20%. The city has already proven it’s a soccer hotspot, with Atlanta United’s record-breaking attendance and a new NWSL women’s pro team launching in 2028. There’s going to be a lot of kids in Atlanta falling in love with the beautiful game.

Georgia Soccer wants to make sure all the new players inspired by the World Cup have a place to play. That means scaling access, improving coaching, and building lasting infrastructure that supports the game for generations to come.

Podcast 316 – Burnout, Branding, and Building Something Better for Patients in Dunwoody – Dr. Dhaval R. Desai

After 15 years as a hospital leader, Dr. Dhaval Desai stepped away from burnout and bureaucracy. He left the system to focus on people, not paperwork. His new home, Atlanta Internists, follows a Direct Primary Care model—no insurance middlemen, no rushed appointments, just time, access, and care that actually feels like care.

His memoir, Burning Out on the COVID Front Lines, shares a raw, personal look at medicine, fatherhood, and resilience. His podcast, Seen in Full, features honest conversations with other professionals navigating burnout and identity. And through it all, he’s been putting himself out there and building a brand in interviews and on social media—all based around showing up, listening longer, and making care more human.

Podcast 315 – Meet Dunwoody’s Student Visionaries of the Year: Cure Chasers – Grayson Myddleton and Bramley Gordon

Grayson Myddleton and Bramley Gordon, both sophomores at Dunwoody High, are leading the city’s first-ever Student Visionaries of the Year team: the Cure Chasers. With a $56,000 fundraising goal for Blood Cancer United, they’ve rallied 20+ local students to give back in a big way. Their mission is personal. They both have seen how devastating cancer can be, and that’s what fuels their commitment.

But what they’re gaining along the way might be just as powerful. Grayson and Bramley have stepped into roles that demand public speaking, team leadership, and nonprofit strategy. The Student Visionaries program isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a full-on crash course in confidence and communication. They even picked up some podcast experience along the way.

Podcast 313 – Big Play ATL Opens This Week with Food, Games, and Fun for All Ages – Valerie Inglesby

Big Play ATL finally opens its doors this week, and Dunwoody locals are ready. This all-in-one entertainment center has been months in the making, and it shows. Who's ready for bowling, laser tag, mini golf, a full arcade, and a real restaurant, all under one roof?!

They also own the shopping center, and just this week re-signed CVS to a fresh lease. Locals were buzzing that CVS might shut down, but that rumor’s officially squashed. CVS will be around for a few more years, and that shopping center will be exciting again.

Inside, Woody's Sports Bar gives off grown-up energy with velvet drapes, a chef-driven menu, and craft cocktails. But Big Play has fun for the whole family. From ValoArena’s immersive gameplay to birthday-ready party rooms and mid-week specials like $2 Tuesdays, this place was built for all ages. It's already booking up fast for holiday parties, team outings, and after-school hangouts.

Podcast 312 – How Dunwoody High Counselors Support Every Student – Luke Ingram and Denise Spain

Dunwoody High might be a big school, but it doesn’t feel that way once you meet the counselors. With my son Micah heading there next year from Cornerstone Christian Academy, I wanted to learn what makes the transition smoother—for him and for other families coming from private schools. So I sat down with counselors Luke Ingram and Denise Spain.

They walked me through how five full-time counselors guide students all four years, helping with everything from AP schedules and college apps to mental health and slip-on shoes. Dunwoody High reflects the real diversity of our city, and this team makes sure every student feels seen and supported.

Whether you’re new to the public school system or just want to understand how things work these days, this episode is a great place to start.

Podcast 311 – Why ATL Eyecare Feels More Like Family Than a Clinic – Dr. Tommy Koepke and Mary Anne Langman

ATL Eyecare was built for Dunwoody by people who know and love this community. Dr. Tommy Koepke and his sister-in-law Mary Anne Langman built a clinic that puts relationships first and delivers care that actually feels like care. With Tommy's wife Laura managing operations, this local trio is raising the bar for how eye care gets done.

This isn’t your average big box experience. Every patient gets one-on-one time with Dr. Tommy, using the kind of high-tech tools usually reserved for specialists. Whether it's catching keratoconus like mine, treating glaucoma, or just helping your kid see the board better, they’ve built a clinic that covers it all without losing the neighborly touch.

Located in the Williamsburg Shopping Center (with Chick-fil-A and E 48th Street Market), ATL Eyecare blends medical precision with local love. It's personal, it's professional, and it's exactly what Dunwoody needed.

Podcast 310 – Dunwoody’s Bring It Home Campaign and the DHS Stadium Everyone’s Talking About – Coach Tom Bass

Friday nights in Dunwoody are about to feel different. Principal and longtime coach Tom Bass joins the show to share how the Bring It Home Campaign is giving Dunwoody High the stadium it’s always deserved, boosting community pride and student spirit. The project will add 2,000 new seats, real restrooms, concessions, and a modern press box, giving the Wildcats a true home-field that they've never had before.

Bass explains how one very special Dunwoody alum helped start the push, and how the campaign will bring the plan across the finish line. This is more than a stadium upgrade; it’s a statement about what Dunwoody stands for—community, tradition, and pride.

From honoring Coach Mike Nash’s legacy to creating a safe, walkable place for families to gather, the campaign celebrates everything that makes Dunwoody special. It’s the heart of the community—neighbors connecting, kids dreaming, and the Wildcats finally playing at home.

Podcast 309 – Dunwoody’s Comeback Clinic for Soccer Dads and Teen Athletes – Daniel Bodkin

Dunwoody now has a hidden gem that’s bridging the gap between pro-level rehab and local athletes. Daniel Bodkin runs ProActive Athletic Performance, a modern sports science clinic folks around Atlanta are calling the "comeback lab." Daniel has tested NFL stars like Andrew Luck and RG3, and now he’s helping Dunwoody dads, teen athletes, and weekend warriors recover smarter and get back to peak performance. His clinic uses the same machines trusted by NFL teams at the Combine to show exactly where your body stands and where it needs to go.

I stepped into the lab last week and went through the full assessment, learning exactly what I need to work on to keep playing competitive soccer into my 50s. Daniel measured how much power I generate off each leg when I jump and broke down why one of my quads isn’t pulling its weight. Seeing my numbers side by side was eye-opening. If you’ve got even a small imbalance or old injury, he’ll find it. And then he’ll give you a plan to fix it.

Whether you’re a parent wondering if your kid is ready to return from an ACL injury, or just trying to survive over-40 soccer without pulling a hammy, this episode is worth a listen.

Podcast 308 – Why Light Up Dunwoody Moved to the Donaldson-Bannister Farm – Jimmy Economos and Tim Brown

Light Up Dunwoody is leaving the Burger King parking lot behind and heading to the Donaldson-Bannister Farm. It’s a serious vibe upgrade. Jimmy Economos of EEP Events and DHA President Tim Brown share how the event outgrew the Village and found a new home with more space for reindeer, a stage for dancers, and a 26-foot Christmas tree and menorah right by Chamblee-Dunwoody Road.

Expect over 80 performers, crafts from Spruill Center to decorate the tree, free Santa pics (with the Santa David), and live music from the Dunwoody High School Marching Band. The band will also be raising money for the Bring It Home campaign to finally give DHS a true home stadium.

We also recap the 2025 Candidate Forum, another DHA event. Thanks to EEP Events stepping in with pro-level sound, lights, and live-streaming at Stage Door Theatre, the night went off without a hitch. It gave neighbors a chance to hear directly from candidates and set the bar high for an old tradition with a new digital spin. With DHA, Rough Draft, Stage Door, and EEP teaming up, the forum is poised to become another can't-miss event on the local calendar.

Podcast 307 – Local Businesses Team Up to Launch the Sounds of Dunwoody – Nida Mudd & Miguel Romero

Sounds of Dunwoody is turning the Shops of Dunwoody into a live music stage this Saturday, October 18th. From 3–10 PM, you’ll catch student bands from Dunwoody High and Mount Vernon School, rock covers from PDL Atlanta, and a headlining set from the high-energy Francisco Vidal Band. They’re airing the Georgia vs. Ole Miss game at 3:30, so bring a blanket, grab takeout, and settle in for an all-day community hangout.

The idea started with Nida Mudd, owner of Judy & Grace Boutique, who wanted to bring Alive in Roswell-style energy to Dunwoody. Her new boutique has quickly become a local favorite for stylish women over 50, offering timeless pieces and specializing in mother-of-the-bride dresses. Nida teamed up with Miguel Romero from Taqueria Los Hermanos, who was already turning the Shops of Dunwoody into a live music spot. Word got out and more local businesses stepped in, community organizations sponsored, and the first annual Sounds of Dunwoody comes to life this Saturday.

Podcast 305 – How Saint Luke’s Pumpkin Patch Powers Dunwoody Robotics – Emmy Knight & Paige Holliman

The Pumpkin Patch at Saint Luke’s isn’t just a fall photo op. It’s the main fundraiser for Dunwoody High’s Wildcat5e Robotics team. Student leader Emmy Knight and parent volunteer Paige Holliman explain how this small but mighty team builds 100+ pound robots and competes across Georgia, all powered by community support.

Every October, thousands of pumpkins take over the lot at 1978 Mount Vernon Road. Families come for the face painting, bounce house, yard games, and sand art. They stick around for the friendly vibe and a peek downstairs, where the team is hard at work. Visitors can watch the robot in progress and even try driving a demo bot.

With prices that won’t break the bank and plenty of extras to keep kids busy, it’s an easy stop that supports local students doing big things. It’s also a great way to spark curiosity in young engineers who want to see what robotics is all about. Whether you’re new to Dunwoody or just looking for a reason to swing by, this is one fall tradition that gives back.

Open daily 11 to 7 through Halloween.

Podcast 304 – Spirits for Spruill and the AMPLIFY Mural Selection – Alan Mothner

Spruill Center for the Arts is turning heads again with craft cocktails, public art, and serious community energy. CEO Alan Mothner returns to talk about Spirits for Spruill, the gallery’s fall celebration happening October 25. The big reveal is the 6th AMPLIFY mural, selected from 157 national submissions. This year’s finalists—Christina Kwan, Danae Antoine, and Chloe Alexander—bring color, culture, and serious talent to the side of the historic Smokehouse along Ashford Dunwoody Road.

Expect more than art. Spirits for Spruill features tastings from top Georgia distilleries, bites from ZaZa’s Kitchen, and live music by local favorite Magno. Alan also shares how Spruill has grown into a cultural anchor in Dunwoody, offering everything from toddler art to free yoga in the courtyard. A record $108,000 in scholarships has already been awarded in 2025, and the new strategic plan hints at renovations, artist studios, and even more public art.

It’s art with heart, right in the center of Dunwoody.

Podcast 303 – Holiday HQ Preview and Dunwoody’s Busiest Day of the Year – Mark Galvin

Dunwoody is officially “Holiday HQ,” and Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody is back with a full rundown of why the season hits different here. Black Friday draws massive crowds to Perimeter Mall, one of the largest malls in the Southeast, and kicks off a packed calendar of events, light tours, and festive markets.

Over at Campus 244 and Le Méridien Hotel, live music is turning casual nights into local hangouts. Meanwhile, High Street, Ashford Lane, and Park Place are going big with private-sector concerts, pop-ups, and family-friendly celebrations. The best part is none of it is paid for with city funds.

Looking ahead, soccer fans have a reason to get excited. With Atlanta hosting the 2026 World Cup, Dunwoody is already planning soccer-themed pop-ups and watch parties for next summer. International teams may even train nearby, and the city's global flavor is getting stronger with every new event.

Podcast 302 – What the Student Assignment Project Could Mean for Redistricting in Dunwoody – Andrew Ziffer – DCSD Board

Two developments are shaping the conversation around Dunwoody schools this Fall. Friday night football is finally coming to DHS. After decades of playing at North DeKalb Stadium, Dunwoody High School will soon have bathrooms, a press box, and the 3,000 seats required to host true varsity home games. Community fundraising, a green light from the DeKalb County School Board, and support from major donors have set the project in motion.

But while high school families are celebrating, parents with younger kids are watching the Student Assignment Project unfold. DeKalb County is reviewing enrollment, capacity, and long-term plans, and redistricting is very much on the table. I ask DCSD District 1 Board Representative Andrew Ziffer about the rumors that Chesnut and Vanderlyn Elementary could be merged or closed, and he explains how those concerns fit into the bigger picture of balancing resources across the county. Change is coming to DeKalb schools, but how much of it will affect Dunwoody?

Podcast 301 – Dunwoody Rallies for Play Your Heart Out at the JCC – Lauren Nelson and Jamie Steuer

Lauren and Jamie, two Dunwoody High School students, are volunteering with heart—literally. They're helping spread the word about “Play Your Heart Out,” a high-energy pickleball fundraiser hosted at the MJCCA to support Save a Child’s Heart, an Israeli nonprofit that provides life-saving heart surgeries for children around the world. The event has grown from a small basketball tournament in 2017 into a beloved Dunwoody tradition that blends sport, service, and community.

Lauren’s passion for the cause started after volunteering at the SACH Children’s Center in Israel, where she connected with recovering kids from across the globe. Jamie was inspired by her family’s long-time support of the organization and wanted to get more involved locally. Together, they’re part of a bigger team of Dunwoody residents showing how even small efforts can lead to big impact.

Every dollar helps save lives—no paddle required.

Podcast 300 – Why Perimeter Center Defines Dunwoody – Mark Galvin with Discover Dunwoody

Perimeter Mall isn’t just a place to shop, it’s the backbone of Dunwoody’s economy. Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody returns with all the local scoop, including why the mall still matters more than ever. It’s Dunwoody’s biggest taxpayer, a major job hub, and a magnet for out-of-town visitors. Nearly 9 out of 10 shoppers come from outside the city, which means Perimeter Center brings in big money without burdening residents.

They talk about what’s new around town: Grana’s pasta classes, Wahaka’s bold flavors, Lazy Dog’s Dunwoody success, and the much-anticipated Chubby Cattle near P.F. Chang’s. Van Leeuwen Ice Cream and Foxtail Coffee are also headed our way.

Month after month, Matt continues to ask Mark about city programs he’s not directly involved with, just to keep him on his toes. Dunwoody 101 is that topic this week. This hands-on program gives residents a behind-the-scenes look at how the city government works. The City is using the same trolley bus from the ReDiscover Dunwoody Trolley Tour to shuttle Dunwoody 101 participants around town. Just another example of how different groups are sharing resources to make the city even better connected.

Podcast 298 – Dunwoody’s New Family Fun Destination - Big Play ATL - Valerie Inglesby

Dunwoody is getting a game-changer with Big Play ATL. Opening this fall at Mount Vernon Road and Dunwoody Club Drive, this massive indoor entertainment hub packs bowling, laser tag, mini golf, VR, and arcade games. It is all tied together with a full restaurant and bar serving fresh salads, salmon and craft cocktails while the kids have a blast.

The location is a win. It is one of the rare spots you can actually walk to in the suburbs. Big Play ATL is not just moving in. They are planting roots by upgrading the parking lot, teaming up with local groups and serving as a platinum sponsor for the Dunwoody Fourth of July Parade.

Birthday parties, date nights, alumni watch parties or catching a game with friends — you do not need kids to enjoy the fun. This is the kind of local hangout Dunwoody has been waiting for.

They are hoping to open sometime after Labor Day.

Podcast 297 – A New Era Begins for Wildcat Football – Coach Matt Schmitz

Wildcat Football has a new leader, and Coach Matt Schmitz is ready to take the program to the next level. With more than 20 years of experience, he’s stepping into the head coach role at Dunwoody High with big plans. He’s building on Coach Mike Nash’s legacy while bringing his own energy and approach. He’s not just coaching a team. He’s shaping a system. From Junior Wildcats to varsity, every level now works together with the same goals, language, and support.

The Corky Kell Classic at Mercedes-Benz kicks off the season, but the real wins come from the day-to-day work. That means better nutrition, smarter scheduling, academic support, and a culture that helps every player grow. Backed by the Gridiron Club and our Dunwoody community, Wildcat Football is locked in for 2025. This one is about more than just football.

Podcast 296 – How Dunwoody Has Attracted 44 Restaurants In the Last 3 Years – Mark Galvin with Discover Dunwoody

Dunwoody isn’t just growing. It’s booming with flavor. In just three years, 44 new restaurants have opened across the city, and they’re not your average fast-food joints. These are chef-driven kitchens, local favorites, and unique dining spots choosing Dunwoody for a reason. Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody explains how new developments like Ashford Lane, High Street, Campus 244, Perimeter Marketplace, and the newly refreshed Park Place are all scoring big names and redefining what’s possible in the suburbs.

The wild part? Many restaurants aren’t replacing old ones. They’re launching in brand-new buildouts. That’s a sign of serious momentum.

From Velvet Taco and Grana to Nando’s, Cuddlefish, Hampton Social, and CT Cantina, Dunwoody’s dining scene is more diverse and more delicious than ever. Mark shares how his team markets the city, why locals should ride the trolley, and what’s coming next.

Podcast 295 – A Proactive Approach to Long-Term Family Wellness – Wilson Family Chiropractic

Wilson Family Chiropractic has been helping Dunwoody families feel, move, and live better for over 15 years. From prenatal care and sports injuries to that nagging desk-job back pain, their focus is long-term wellness through high-tech tools like laser therapy, shockwave, and digital x-rays. It’s not just about relief. It’s about keeping your body working the way it should, before pain even starts.

After recording this episode, I booked a visit to get my elbow checked out and tried shockwave therapy for the first time. It turned out to be one of the most effective treatments I’ve ever had for tennis elbow. They also took x-rays of my spine, something I’d never done before, and it opened my eyes to how much spinal health connects to everything else. I’m not in pain now, but I want to stay that way. These two visits completely changed how I think about chiropractic care.

Podcast 294 – The Ashford Lane Bar That Celebrates the Bad Boys of Sports – Mara Mullen – Streakers

Dunwoody has never seen a sports bar like this. Streakers at Politan Row leans into the wild side of sports, with wall-to-wall scandals, jello shots in syringes, and cocktails named after the most notorious names in the game. It’s fun, bold, and completely different from anything else around.

It’s also the only bar at Politan Row with TVs, so you can catch every big play without leaving your seat. Even better, you can order food from any vendor in the hall right to your table. No lines, no missing the moment, just good eats and wild drinks.

Mara Mullen leads the bar program here and at two more Politan Row favorites. Bar Politan offers quick, classic cocktails right when you walk in. Okay Anny’s is the neon-lit lounge in the back, full of ‘90s nostalgia and DJ energy. Together, they’ve turned Ashford Lane into Dunwoody’s new late-night scene.

Podcast 293 – Moondog Grows From Dunwoody Growlers to Chamblee Dog Friendly Pub – Tommy Burda

Moondog Growlers holds a special place in my heart. It was the first on-location interview Justin and I ever recorded back in the early podcast days. Fast forward to today and owners Tommy and Felicia Burda have spread that same welcoming Dunwoody vibe to Chamblee with Moondog Pub & Grub. Tommy swore he would never open a restaurant, but then he spotted the perfect building behind Whole Foods along the Rail Trail. Now Moondog Pub & Grub is serving up Wisconsin cheese curds, prime rib Saturdays, and a brunch that makes you want to linger all afternoon. The place feels like an extension of the neighborhood, with dogs napping on the patio, friends catching up over bourbon flights, families dropping by on a bike ride, and live music from local favorites like the Mike Veal Band and The Gregory Marshall Roth Band filling the room most nights. It is everything locals love about Moondog Growlers, just with a full kitchen and even more space to kick back and feel at home.

Podcast 292 – How a Podcast and a Couple Facebook Groups Built a Digital Community in Dunwoody – Matt Weber

Julia Frament from @mrandmrsdunwoody asked to interview me for the podcast this week, so this episode is going to give you even more Matt than usual. It was fun reminiscing on the early days of What’s Up Dunwoody in 2018.

Seven years ago, we launched a podcast nobody listened to, and I started a couple of Facebook groups where I was the only one posting. They weren't an overnight success, but we (along with podcast co-host Justin Dike) stuck with it. Eventually people started tuning into the pod. The Facebook groups took even longer to catch on, but little by little, the community started showing up and making them their own. They aren't my groups anymore. Now they belong to the Dunwoody Area Community.

After nearly 300 podcast episodes and over 25,000 community group members, it’s wild to see what the brand has become. What’s Up Dunwoody started as a way for me to get to know the city, and somewhere along the way, it turned into something FOR the city.

What’s next for What’s Up Dunwoody? Staying ahead of the curve and doubling down on what’s next. I’m working on new ways to bring value to the community, including Custom GPTs built for locals, an AI mascot named Woody the Goldendoodle, lots of collaborations, and maybe even a newsletter that doesn’t suck. Thanks to everyone who’s been part of the story so far!

Podcast 291 – Discover Dunwoody’s Website Makeover and Club World Cup Comes to Atlanta – Mark Galvin

Dunwoody just got a digital upgrade. Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody joins to show off their new website, designed to make finding events, booking hotels, and exploring the city way easier. It’s brighter, faster, and loaded with fresh content including blogs, local guides, and a search tool that actually works.

Mark breaks down how hotel taxes fund the whole thing and why that matters for both residents and visitors. Plus, he talks about Dunwoody’s growing social media game, fueled by a young, creative team putting local spots in the spotlight.

This Sunday, June 23, Dunwoody hosts “Viva la Copa” at Ashford Lane from noon to 11 p.m. It’s a free event with Club World Cup matches on the big screen, live music, food vendors, games, and local soccer guests. Discover Dunwoody and Passion Soccer Academy are teaming up to support Hispanic youth through soccer programs and tourism. It’s the kind of event that brings the whole community together.

Podcast 290 – Leadership Perimeter Sparks a Journey to Dunwoody City Hall – Catherine Lautenbacher

Catherine Lautenbacher never saw herself running for office. But after years of leading the Leadership Perimeter program, she found herself pulled into public service. Now representing District 1 on Dunwoody City Council, Catherine focuses on community safety, connectivity, and building up future leaders.

She shares what she has experienced over the last four years and reflects on the moments that stood out during her time on the council. Public safety is at the top of that list. Catherine explains how Dunwoody police are using drones to respond more quickly and assess situations from above before officers even arrive. The city has also built a high-tech command center with live video feeds that help manage emergencies, traffic, and major events like the Fourth of July parade. It’s about being proactive, not just reactive, and she’s proud to see Dunwoody leading the way.

She also continues to mentor the next generation through Leadership Perimeter and remains a strong advocate for making Dunwoody more walkable, one sidewalk at a time.

Podcast 289 – How Dunwoody Oktoberfest Starts With the 4th of July Parade – Denice Dudley & Katie Prellwitz

Dunwoody’s favorite fall festival is kicking marketing off early this year. Denice Dudley, the lead organizer of Dunwoody Oktoberfest 2025, and main sponsor Katie Prellwitz from Leverage Communications are using the city’s biggest summer stage, the 4th of July Parade, to build buzz for the September celebration.

Oktoberfest is returning to the grounds of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church on September 27 with beer, music, food, and fun. They’re also introducing a new 20-foot inflatable mascot, and the community gets to name it. It’s part of a playful campaign to get locals involved early and often. Proceeds from the festival benefit Malachi’s Storehouse and Anchor Place, two neighborhood gems that serve with heart. If your business wants to sponsor Oktoberfest, now’s the time. Early sponsors get July 4th exposure and a front-row seat to Dunwoody’s newest fall tradition.

Podcast 288 – Smart Branding and Apartment Density Transformed Chamblee Over the Last Decade – Van Pappas

Chamblee has rebranded, reimagined, and revitalized itself. Van Pappas shares how smart city planning and a bold branding push turned an industrial corridor into one of North DeKalb’s hottest areas. The key? Apartment density, a clear identity, and big community pride. Van was there from the start, on the branding committee that helped bring the iconic red Chamblee sign to Peachtree Boulevard. He explains how signage isn't just decoration, it is declaration.

Van also dives into starting his Chamblee Area Restaurant Review Facebook Group during Covid, and growing it nearly as large as my Dunwoody version. What began as a way to support struggling restaurants became a digital town square, where locals post reviews and swap recommendations.

The Chamblee Rail Trail is more than a sidewalk. Van breaks down how the trail is expanding to connect key parts of the city and tie into a larger regional network. With plans to link Chamblee to Doraville’s Assembly development, Brookhaven’s greenways, and eventually the BeltLine, the trail is redefining how locals experience the city, without ever getting in a car.

Podcast 286 – Empowering Patients During Cancer Treatment with myFriendMD – Dr. Sarah Friend

Dunwoody’s Dr. Sarah Friend is bringing something new to cancer care. Through her virtual service myFriendMD, she gives breast cancer patients and their families what the medical system often cannot. Time, clarity, and emotional support. With over a decade of experience including years at Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute she now helps patients slow down, ask better questions, and take control of their treatment journey.

Her coaching model is built for the space between appointments. The part where fear sets in, questions build, and Google becomes your worst enemy. Dr. Friend steps in when patients need more than facts. They need perspective. They need to feel heard. You get to ask questions one through four during your doctor visit. She helps with questions five through twenty. The ones that matter just as much, but rarely get answered.

Podcast 285 – How $37M Has Transformed the JCC Into Dunwoody’s Summer Destination – MJCCA CEO Jared Powers

Summer in Dunwoody has a new heartbeat, and it’s the MJCCA. CEO Jared Powers, who grew up riding his bike to the J and later rose from camp counselor to CEO, shares how the 52-acre campus became the city’s ultimate summer destination. Backed by a $37 million investment that upgraded both the Dunwoody campus and Camp Barney Medintz, the transformation has been bold, intentional, and community-focused.

The JCC offers elite day camps, a resort-style aquatic center, and a nationally recognized 15-court pickleball complex. Whether you're diving into splash pads, relaxing poolside, or grabbing a drink above the courts, there’s something for everyone. And yes, it’s open to everyone, even if you aren’t Jewish. The MJCCA welcomes individuals and families of all backgrounds, ages, and beliefs. It’s more than a gym or camp. It’s where Dunwoody summers come alive.

Podcast 283 – Why Dunwoody Needs the DHA Now More Than Ever – Tim Brown

Before Dunwoody had a city council, it had the DHA. For decades, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association was the most organized and influential voice in town. It helped shape development, block unwanted commercial growth, and give residents a say in what happened next. Now, Tim Brown is stepping back into leadership with renewed energy after a challenging year. He shares why the DHA still matters, how Dunwoody is evolving, and how the organization will be there to stand up for you when it counts. Check out the DHA website to learn what a $40 membership means for the community and why it should matter more than a meal at Tim’s favorite spot, Joey D’s Steakhouse.

Podcast 282 – 25 Years After the Tornado and the Legacy of Lemonade Days – Kathy Florence and Hope Follmer

After a tornado ripped through Dunwoody in 1998, neighbors came together to replant, rebuild, and reconnect. What started as a tree-planting campaign grew into something lasting—Lemonade Days, the city’s biggest celebration of resilience and community. Now in its 25th year, the festival continues to evolve while honoring its roots. Hope Follmer, who directs the festival for the Dunwoody Preservation Trust, and Kathy Florence, Communications Manager for the City and a former Honorary Miss Lemonade Days, have helped shape this milestone year. From carnival rides and food trucks to new features like chalk art, legacy lanyards, and local bands performing at the new Band Shell, 2025 feels like a perfect blend of nostalgia and new energy. While I won’t be emceeing Dunwoody Idol this year, the heartbeat of the festival is stronger than ever. Whether you’ve lived here for decades or you’re new to town, this is the week that reminds you of that small town feel we love.

Podcast 230 - Tom Lambert - Dunwoody Trails and the Bond Vote in November

Dunwoody City Council made 2 big moves this week, approving the Dunwoody Trails Master Plan and calling for a bond vote to help pay for it. The approval puts the decision in the hands of Dunwoody voters on November 7th.

If approved, the City of Dunwoody would work on capital improvements in the following areas using bond funding, along with other revenue sources. Note that the list below is not ranked by preference and is subject to modification based on the needs of the City:

  • Parks: Roberts Drive Park, Homecoming Park on Vermack Drive, Softball Fields, Waterford Park, Brook Run Park
  • Trails: Village Crossroads (Chamblee Dunwoody Road), continuance of the Winters Chapel Multi-use Trail, North Peachtree Road, Mount Vernon Road

This is how you'll read it on the ballot:

“Shall the City of Dunwoody, Georgia (the “City”) issue general obligation bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $60,000,000 for the purpose of financing (a) the acquisition, construction, installation, improvement and equipping of (i) parks and recreational areas, (ii) greenspace and (iii) trails, (b) the costs of issuing the bonds and (c) capitalized interest on the bonds? Such approval shall also constitute an approval of the increase in the City’s current millage cap of 3.04 only to the extent necessary to repay the bonds.”
