Five Questions With… Brad Almy
Q. Best Atlanta celebrity sighting?
A. I met Jim Clancy (superstar CNN War Corespondent) outside of the Georgia Tech/LSU Game! Sherlita Patton (Big Boi from OutKast’s Wife) at a party at Straits. I also saw Ted Turner walking down the street near Sidebar downtown the other day.
For those that like to refer to Atlanta as “the Hollywood of the South”, I present to you Jim Clancy, local celebrity.
Q. A day to show off Atlanta to the cast of The Golden Girls. Where are you taking them?
A. The High Museum, a Hawks Game, and The Clermont.
Q. Favorite neighborhood?
A. I have to represent Home Park! It is definitely grungy, but the juxtaposition of expatriates from Georgia Tech’s Campus, Orthodox Muslims, Neo Hippies, and Musicians make it my favorite. House parties where bands like The Black Lips, Sound Tribe Sector 9, and Gringo Starr got their start, The long lasting institute of higher drinking, Rocky Mountain Pizza, and Kool Korners (RIP) are all fond memories!
Q. Hidden Atlanta gem that everyone needs to experience/see/do at least once?
A. GO TO THE PORTER! If there is a bar in heaven, this is what it would be like. No TVs, great food, no nonsense service, and dozens of beers that you can not get anywhere else.
