  • Ludacris Brings “Straits” to Midtown!

    Jan, 19 2008 | Written by ATLien

    Luda9

    Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges has partnered with San Francisco restaurateur Chris Yeo to open several restaurants in Metro Atlanta.? The first, which will be called “Straits”, is set to open in April of this year in Midtown.? Straits will be located at 793 Juniper St. (at Fifth Street) in the building that was formerly the restaurant Spice.

    The menu looks good so I’ll definitely be adding this spot to my list!? The hours will be 5 p.m. to midnight (Monday through Wednesday)? 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. (Thursday through Saturdays) and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays.? There?are no lunch hours specified but they will open for brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.

    Click here to read more about Straits restaurants.? This is a great concept and should do very well in midtown despite the obvious.? I’m almost positive that the name will be an inside joke in the neighborhood.?(Source)

    Make it Rain in the Hood!

    Jan, 17 2008 | Written by ATLien

    pezo1

    I received a press release today regarding Pezo In Da Cribb from Atlanta?s Hot 107.9….I?think you have to say the whole thing kinda like “a pimp named slickback“…? Anyway, Pezo In Da Cribb and Yung Joc got together over the holidays and decided to “Make it Rain in Da Hood” by?giving away money to the homeless and underprivileged.?

    Make?It Rain In Da Hood is not only about?passing out dollar bills to those in need, but it’s also about your money making a difference in a person’s life, which in turn brings personal satisfaction. Pezo In Da Cribb will continue his campaign each week with future plans to give away various items such as food, shoes, toiletries and clothing.

    What struck me more than the compassion and creativity of Peza in Da Cribb was how dayum?cute he is in that dang picture.? I was mesmerized for a few seconds until I had a flashback about this dream nightmare I had that Taye Diggs?was vacuuming my floor naked with a broomvac…(I?ate late that night!)

    For More Information on Pezo In Da Cribb contact:

    The 16th annual Trumpet Awards were held in the “A” last weekend (as well as a monster truck rally and an Atlanta Thrashers hockey game)!? Downtown traffic was on lock…but I did navigate through in time to meet my friends at Stats to watch the game!

    My favorite elf/actor/rapper, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges received the Usher Raymond Altruism Award for his philanthropy and his establishing a foundation to use music and the arts to connect to urban youth.

    See all of the 2008 honorees over at The Trumpet Foundation.

    Since I wasn’t privy to the goings on at the awards show, I dug up a few photos of the event.? Attendees included?Mayor Shirley Franklin, ?Chris Tucker, Brian Jordan, Andrew Young, Keith Sweat, Frank Ski and more.

    Click the thumbnails to?view larger photos….Enjoy!

📌 Kandi filed on Nov 24
📌 Todd responded Nov 26
📌 On Dec 1, Kandi amended her petition AND filed a motion to seal the case 😳

Todd says he’s got the kids, Kandi wants the prenup enforced, and she wants to keep it all hush-hush from folks like me… but you know I’m reading it anyway! 🫢 Full video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/zifcIgQVA0A?si=lLU6kMnMMJJdqy_5

        Kandi Burruss filed an amended complaint after Tod Kandi Burruss filed an amended complaint after Todd’s attorney called her out for procedural errors. She’s now asking for primary physical custody of the kids, and basically saying Bravo’s uncut footage should be subpoenaed too 👀

This ain’t reality TV — it’s real life, and it’s getting messy QUICK. And if Todd thought he was gon’ walk off with the kids? Kandi said: “Nah, I want it all.”

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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. 👽🛸
