[edit] What county?

Is Dunwoody in DeKalb County, Fulton County, or both?? There are several Internet sites that say they are in Dunwoody that are actually in Fulton County. 66.245.127.108 20:03, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

It says on the Peachtree Street article that Peachtree Dunwoody Road goes between Peachtree Street and Dunwoody, but the road itself is entirely in Fulton County. Any comments?? 66.245.96.177 23:34, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Seth Ilys's map highlights a region that appears to be on the border of the 2 counties. Anyone have any comments yet?? Georgia guy 19:32, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Since Dunwoody is not a city, it is more of a region, then it can encompase more then one county. On the otherhand, the Gwinette side of the border is in the city of Norcross, and on the Fulton side is the newly founded city of Sandy Springs. So if Dunwoody were to become a city then it would only be in Dekalb county. So you can make the decision for yourself. I have lived in Dunwoody for more then 10 years, in Dekalb.
As a long-time resident of Dunwoody, it seems to be to be predominantly in DeKalb county, with a small part of Fulton county. Moving into Fulton quickly takes you to North Springs.

Is there a lot of crime in Dunwoody?

No. I've lived here for 20 years, and while it is not completely devoid of crime, it is a relatively safe area.

[edit] Links in road names

I think we need to start a Wiki project on how it is acceptable to link a road's name. I say:

Notable roads with Wikipedia articles (e.g. Peachtree Street) can be linked to themselves.

Most roads, however, I don't think are eligible for Wikipedia articles, and thus I say they should be linked only if they are named from something that deserves an article. Any comments?? Georgia guy 13:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

No word about the "Panhandle" in this article. Also, "reneging on a promise" is awfuly harsh wording without a source. Jon 20:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture showing Dunwoody business district

I believe the picture captioned "Dunwoody skyline mid-center between Buckhead/Midtown Atlanta to the south and Sandy Springs to north featuring commercial office towers" is incorrectly labeled. The picture actually shows Midtown Atlanta in the foreground, followed by the Buckhead skyline further in and the Sandy Springs skyline in the background. Dunwoody is to the east of Sandy Springs, so it cannot be "closer" to the viewer in that picture.

Recommend deletion of the picture. -Kbrooks 18:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
