  • Atlanta Urban Legends: Mr. Potato D*ck aka The Spandex Man… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Jul, 18 2011 | Written by ATLien

    I’ve been in Atlanta almost all of my life and have heard many things about some of our urban street legends.? I’ve seen quite a few, but never knew they had names.. until now.

    One in particular was brought to my attention last weekend as I was chillin’ with friends after a night out on the town. They talked me into hitting up The Majestic on Ponce (a place I’ve passed by a gazillion times but never cared enough to enter)… but I digress.

    A friend brought up a man she called “Mr. Potato D*ck”:

    “Girl… you mean you’ve NEVER seen Mr. Potato D*ck? He’s that guy who walks up and down Ponce with a cane, wearing tight biker shorts and his thingy is waaaaaay down to his knees.

    How could you miss all THAT?”

    Clearly I’ve been missing out! I was immediately intrigued but being that I was the only one at the table who hadn’t had a drink that night, I just assumed my friend was joking.

    That is… until I grabbed my trusty iPhone and began to Google.

    Little did I know that “Mr. Potato D*ck” aka “The Spandex Dude” was truly one of Atlanta’s many urban legends!

    Meet Mr. Potato D*ck… Continue Reading…

    Jul, 18 2011 | Written by ATLien

    About a week before Thanksgiving 2010, two dudes where shot outside of Diddy’s Justin’s restaurant here in Atlanta.

    As the 2 men were sitting in an SUV listening to music in the parking lot of the establishment, a third man jumped in the backseat with a gun and attempted to rob them.

    One man was shot as he fled, another was injured in the vehicle.

    Who Knew They Bootlegged Luxury Cars? Man Builds Bugatti From ?02 Mercury Cougar? [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 16 2011 | Written by ATLien

    The Bugatti Veyron is said to be a modern automotive legend. Wanted by many, but owned by few.? The sleek speedster boasts a top speed of over 260mph, making it the fastest road-legal car in the world, and it has a stunningly large price tag to match.

    Cash Money CEO Birdman paid a whopping $2.1 million for a brand new bright red Bugatti Veyron a few months ago, while T. Pain plunked down a cool $1.8 million for a slightly used 2008 model.

    Due to the astronomical costs to own and maintain such a vehicle, only a few hundred of ’em have ever even been built, so your chances of owning one are rather slim.

    Now comes 25 year old Mike Duff, of Florida. He decided that the odds of him owning a Bugatti were greater if he simply built his own dayum car!

    So he constructed his very own Bugatti with his bare hands… Continue Reading…

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
