Out There Atlanta

Are we turning into city of the apes?

North Avenue, 10/23/2011

Masquerade Music Park, 10/23/2011

The man, the myth, the legend: Angel Poventud.  He’s your official CSX conductor and your unofficial guide to the Beltline.  We sat down at Manuel’s Tavern to talk about Angel’s Atlanta.  He told us how he got involved in the city and what he spends his spare time doing.  It’s worth a listen.

Topics include: graffiti on trains, Trees Atlanta, the Atlanta cycling community, Peachtree creek, and rollerblades

It’s extremely unlikely this is the first time you’ve heard of this guy.  If somehow that is the case, Angel Poventud is the quintessential “man about town” in Atlanta.  Someone you know knows him, guaranteed.  When he’s not riding the rails, he’s riding his bike, or walking the Beltline, or well, you get the picture.  Angel Poventud is everywhere.  In Wednesday’s episode you can find out more about what brought him to our fair city and where he thinks the city is going next.

You guys remember Movies Worth Seeing?  It’s good to know Videodrome is still alive and well.  With the King of Pops parked on the next corner and Manuel’s just across, the corner of North Ave. and Highland is a one-stop shop!

Some folks revere “the King” and want to travel to Graceland.  Others sing Michael Jackson in the shower and imitate his dance moves on the floor.  Here in Atlanta, when it comes to kings, no one tops King of Pops, with their specialty flavors and amazing cooling ability.  Find them all over town.

This podcast gives you a little taste of the huge street food movement happening in Atlanta these days.  We talked to a lot of the food trucks and some satisfied customers.  Check it out for yourself on Thursdays at the Woodruff Arts Center from 11am to 2pm.
