It's so grand to see that the First Lady's "Let's Move!" campaign has caught on even in the close-minded far-right conservative enclave of Dunwoody; however, I would surmise that when it comes to your children's health you can't afford to be partisan.
Way to go Michelle Obama!
Way to go Dunwoody!
I rode a bike this morning along with my son & neighbor and let me tell you the sidewalks were crowded. Pattie Baker and Rick Callihan both documented the event, each in their own very special way.
Check them out at Sustainable Pattie and Dunwoody Talk
