DUNWOODY, Ga. – Dunwoody residents Justin Dike and Matt Weber want everyone to see Dunwoody’s over-the-top holiday homes, and they have created an online map that will ensure no display is missed.

The two, who have developed What’s Up Dunwoody (whatsupdunwoody.com) which contains news, a link to their podcasts and other community information, last year published a route map that people could take to hit all the “epic” homes. Dike, who lives in Dunwoody North, then decided to refine it for 2020, when it became apparent that it was important to have activities that were family friendly and COVID-safe. He said he was surprised that there weren’t more homes this year, given the fact that people were sheltering in place with more spare time on their hands.

“We were relieved, however, that almost all of last year’s houses are still there,” Dike said.

Weber, a Georgetown resident, said his favorite home is one located on Redbark Way, a home that coordinates its flashing display with music that plays on 89.7 FM. Dikes prefers a Stratham Drive location that features huge, illuminated snowflakes that have been installed in trees more than 60 feet high.

The map, which has recently been sponsored by Billy Kramer of NFA Burger, features four routes, with a fifth in the works.

The website is a side gig for both Weber, a realtor with eXp Realty, and Dike, the founder of PoolDues.com.
