The Opposition to Perimeter Mall 1969 Dunwoody

Many moons ago the land up and down Ashford Dunwoody Road (a two lane road) was farm and forest.  As Atlanta grew, so did Dunwoody.

Here's an early map of Dunwoody/DeKalb.  It shows "Milton County" to the north, so the map is pre 1932.  Most likely from the 1910's.  I've never seen this map published anywhere - it'll make its way to DPT.



In 1969 the idea of Perimeter Mall was born.  Later came the widening of Ashford Dunwoody Road.












After Ashford Dunwoody Road widened, but before deforestation (progress)
