Podcast 249 - Rush Union Soccer at Brook Run - Neil McNabb
Rush Union Soccer has done an incredible job utilizing the new fields at Brook Run. The Webers spend a lot of time there, and we love the family atmosphere that the City and the Club have developed. I play in the over-40 league there on Mondays, and my boys practice there 4 nights a week during the season and we're there for games on weekends. I wanted to have Neil back on the show to share his experience with Dunwoody over the last few years, and to share all of the new stuff going on with Rush Union.

Podcast 243 - Ark Coffeehaus - Priscilla Wells
Dunwoody’s newest coffee shop is located on the south side PIB gateway and has been a huge hit since opening a few weeks ago. Ark is a craft coffee & tea shop specializing in nutrient dense food and regenerative practices. They work closely with a local farm to ensure to put more nutrients back into the farmlands than they take out of it. The vibe is on-point with the art and boutique offerings. Ark is a great addition to Dunwoody, so if your commute runs through Tilly Mill be sure to check them out!

Podcast 242 - A Better Dunwoody - Erika Harris
Leading up to the Bond Referendum Vote a few weeks ago, there was a lot of talk about “what makes for a better Dunwoody”. Everyone has their opinion, but I think we all learned a lot about our city when the Bond failed to pass. Dunwoody is fundamentally different than those around us. We don’t want to make the same type of investments as most of the surrounding cities. But now that we more fully understand this, where do we go from here? Erika Harris is part of the A Better Dunwoody movement, and someone that I really respect in our community. I reached out to her to continue the conversation about the Bond Vote and discuss what’s next for the City of Dunwoody.
