Ah, spring. That time of year where we welcome back warm weather, long days, and outdoor festivals. We sure did miss you.

We always brag about the attractions and establishments that make Dunwoody so great, but what about the people? Some pretty cool (not to mention famous) individuals have ties to Dunwoody. Some grew up here while others moved here or started businesses here. We're recognizing (because they truly are recognizable) some local stars who really make Dunwoody shine.

Thanks to Atlanta's burgeoning film scene, Dunwoody has made an appearance in several movies and TV shows lately, all of which you've certainly seen and treasured. Yes, this means our city is famous.

Just like there are four quarters in a football game, there are also four key components to Super Bowl Weekend. The game, the commercials, the food, and the party. Without proper planning, the last two could be a fumble that you may not be able to recover. That's why we are here to call the perfect audible. We put together a list of the best and easiest suggestions - all here in Dunwoody - that will last you through the end of regulation. We do the planning. You do the partying.

There are two types of sports fans out there - those who go big and those who go home. We're the former, especially when the Super Bowl is in our own backyard. It's no secret that Atlanta is home to Super Bowl LIII. Neither are all the fun festivities and pregame events, but those may not be as easy to find.
