20 years of ‘ATL’
A true coming-of-age film when I was 16.

I fell in love with skating starting at Sparkles (Riverdale) then we got Cascade in 2000!

The skating rink truly made my middle & high school years amazing from the upstairs teen club to the 2am lock-ins.

I love the dentist!
It’s always a rave review from the doctor when I have all 32 teeth present & HEALTHY!

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

Wow, I didn’t expect this to blow up like this.
The importance of reading and learning is still something I value even at 36.

I still believe, “I CAN DO ANYTHING!”

I love my local library and I still watch PBS programming as an adult!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 📺 📚

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

I grew up as a PBS Kid before we got cable!

If you watched shows like ‘Barney & Friends’ ‘The Magic School Bus’ ‘Reading Rainbow’ ‘Lamb Chop’s’ and ‘Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?’, you’re probably far off in life 🙃

How many people have library cards as adults ?

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

This is amazing! Ticket was only $25 for MICHAEL JACKSON?!

But now I’m curious how my Mama snuck a camera in and got that shot of MJ 😂

[Johnnywjdwfm @johnnywjdwfm]

I was a little bit older but the same results.

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

I can’t wait for her to see ‘Michael’ tomorrow and see the teenage her smile like a kid again!

April 13, 1988
My Mom went to her first concert as a high school senior at Therrell High and it was Michael Jackson at Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, GA.

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

So yall KNEW who Jovita was and her impact to the Atlanta community and still did it anyway?! FUCKYA!!

[Bellwood Coffee @Bellwoodcoffeee]

Hey, it’s us.

We knew Jovita Moore’s story, but we truly had no idea how much this specific mural meant to the community of Atlanta. Unfortunately, the windows in our buildout cut into the mural significantly. Seeing how much this mural meant to so many, we realize we made a mistake and would like to make it right. Would you be willing to connect with us? We want to hear from people who have a deep connection to her and her story.

As a true movie go-er, I never trust critics!

@michaelmovie was PHENOMENAL for any true MJ fan!!

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

My boy not talking, won’t eat, and that just ain’t him 😢
Like I’m not prepared for this!

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

No one can fully be prepared to lose a Grandparent… it’s truly been a difficult process watching my Grandfather suffer like this.

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

Revisited Ashanti’s debut, self-entitled album; yeah, straight bangers from top to bottom!

[ٌ @Flyying2Success]

@cxlxbutauntx Honorable mention: Almost Doesn’t Count
A top to bottom album that I still have in CD form!
