• Ryan Seacrest's hometown makes major announcement: Here's why fans are reacting (pennlive.com) — Dunwoody High School is renaming its football stadium Seacrest Stadium to honor alumnus and TV host Ryan Seacrest, following a DeKalb County School Board vote. The revamped facility will add 2,000 seats, better accessibility, and a modern press box. This gives Dunwoody students and families a true home field that strengthens community pride and Friday night traditions.
   

• DeKalb County opens $4 million ‘pet neighborhood' shelter expansion (wsbtv.com) — A major $4.1 million expansion of DeKalb County Animal Services off Chamblee Dunwoody Road is adding climate-controlled “pet neighborhood” buildings to ease chronic overcrowding.

Dunwoody-area residents now have a significantly expanded, more humane shelter nearby.
