Hmm....

Fired Dunwoody coach plans to seek legal advice

The Dunwoody football coach fired on Feb. 3 because the school “decided to go in a different direction,” said he will contact an attorney to seek legal advice regarding his termination.

Mike Youngblood was relieved of his coaching duties after leading the Wildcats to a 7-5 record in 2009 in his first season as a head coach. Dunwoody is the sixth public high school among 20 in DeKalb County to be in the market for a head coach since the end of the 2009 football season.

A testimonial for the Dunwoody Farmers Market


... from Jeff the Wood Guy.

This is by far one of the greatest markets in the South East. It is a group of outstanding Farmers and Artisans Offering only the finest things that are gown or produced by their own hands. I consider myself fortunate to count myself among them. This is the only public venue where I offer my craft to the wonderful people who visit.


Please visit their website at Dunwoody Green Market.

The bowl is one that Jeff made, and sold at the market.

Shoplifting story from our Costco in Sandy Springs

That’s a lot to stuff in your pants, ma’am

Officers met with Costco employees and a woman who was suspected of shoplifting. The woman apparently went to the video game section of the Peachtree-Dunwoody Road store and took an X-Box game, valued at over $50. Using a pair of scissors, she cut the plastic container and then placed the game in the front of her pants.

The woman admitted putting the game in her pants. A female officer checked the suspect for weapons, which is standard procedure before transporting a prisoner. To the surprise of the employees, the officer found the following, also in the suspect’s pants:

A package of socks.
Two blouses
A small Toro lawnmower.
Two boxes of Frontline flea control, which the officer sincerely hoped was for a dog and not the suspect.
I’m kidding about the Toro lawnmower.

The suspect said she had driven her boss’s car to the store and that her dog was still in the car. She was arrested, the car impounded and the dog was taken by animal control to be released to the suspect at a later time.

I hope the stolen items were cremated.
