Dunwoody DHA 1983

Let's take a peak at the newsletter for the DHA annual meeting in January 1983.  In the 80', 90's and up to about 2010, the DHA annual meeting would have hundreds of people in attendance.

On page 2, in the President's letter, Bernie Marino mentions a few projects in the works in Dunwoody. One is referred to as The Triangle.  Up until 1983, the triangle of land resembling an inverted scalene as viewed headed north, was a wooded lot.  A few old Crier articles mention the unkept nature of the triangle.  Later named Fairfield neighborhood, this area was the first townhouse community built in north Dunwoody.  It was a cause for concern at the time as it was not the traditional single-family home housing.  This is one of many projects by Jim Cowart.  During this time period Cowart was one of the top developers in the area.  He had many battles with the DHA.
