Editing Sandy Springs, Georgia (section)

==== The Panhandle ====
The Dunwoody Panhandle, or just "The Panhandle" is a residential area bounded by the [[Dunwoody, Georgia|Dunwoody]] city limit to the south, the Chattahoochee River to the north, [[Georgia State Route 400|Georgia 400]] to the west, and Peachtree Corners city limit to the east. The district's name is derived from the fact that it is wedged between the river and Dunwoody, forming a geographic panhandle. Major roads include Dunwoody Club Drive and [[Spalding Drive]], and Interstate access is through the Northridge Road exit of Georgia 400. Many who lived in the neighborhood during Sandy Springs' incorporation considered themselves part of Dunwoody, and voiced their opposition to the installment of street sign toppers labelled "Sandy Springs".<ref name=":3">{{cite web|date=July 25, 2006|title=Sandy Springs vetoes Dunwoody toppers - Dunwoody Crier: Local News|url=http://thecrier.net/articles/2006/07/25/news/sign.txt|access-date=December 18, 2012|publisher=Thecrier.net}}</ref> Then-mayor Eva Galambos stated that these new signs would do nothing to diminish the neighborhood's identity.<ref name=":3" /> Some residents still consider the area to be "Dunwoody in Sandy Springs", similar to the [[Buckhead Community]] district of Atlanta.
