You Know You're in Dunwoody When....

Just a little fun with the truth at the end of the week.  Have a great weekend, everybody!

You Know You're in Dunwoody When....

  • down-home family supper involves a run to Kroger for pre-washed, evenly cut and bagged collard greens, pre-peeled onions, diced-and-measured mirepois, and hot pre-cooked BBQ ribs.  Don't forget the ready-to-bake potatoes in their own foil. 
  • social plans in the Spring involve Methodist and Jewish friends organizing a camp out at the Catholic place for dinner on Friday. 
  • community activists want to turn backyards into full-on working barnyards, regardless of the impact around them.  HOWEVER - they also think a garage sale sign on a street corner is a hanging offense.
     
  • once a week a crowd of minivans and SUVs will converge on a street corner or parking lot so that their kids can walk to school. 
  • trick-or-treating on Halloween requires finding a parking spot three hours before ringing the first doorbell. 
  • no one pays retail for baby clothing or supplies.  Just wait a week and you'll hear about a consignment sale.
  • drive-through restaurants do brisk business for local citizens and visitors, while the legality of menu boards for said restaurants are debated for 18 months at a time - by the people using the drive-throughs. 
  • when someone is injured or has a new baby, a line of volunteers spontaneously forms to bring dinner for a few weeks.  The pertinent details are distributed across town in less than an hour. 
Are there any others?  The comments are wide open.
