Perimeter Mall is located in the wealthy north-suburban Atlanta community of Dunwoody. Opened in 1971, Perimeter Mall debuted as the fourth mall in Dekalb County, and the seventh mall in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Nearly four decades later, Perimeter Mall is one of metro Atlanta’s best shopping venues and offers the most upscale store roster of any mall outside Buckhead. Located just a few miles north of Buckhead and Midtown Atlanta, Perimeter Mall draws from a large area of the northern metro, from Roswell to Sandy Springs and into northern Dekalb County, and is the anchor to an area of office complexes, retail, and hotels located around the interchange of GA 400 and I-285.

Do you have any thoughts on the mall?

In addition to to my usual resolutions and business goals for 2009, I kicked off the New Year with my son by taking part in the 2009 Polar Bear Swim.  The swim involved jumping in the frigid waters of Lake Lanier. The event was sponsored by the Lake Lanier Conoe and Kayak Club.  My 4 year old son was very brave as we held hand together during the plunge.  He won the prize as the youngest jumper.  There was plenty of media at the event and we  got some good PR. 

I am interviewed for the Fox 5 News piece.  Click here if you cannot see video.

Here is a video we shot of me and my son jumping in water:  Click here if you can’t see.

Also, there was some print media coverage we got as well.  See the links below.
