Author: Kenny Bump
Stereotypes are made to be broken... and conformed with. Kenny hails from the Dirty South, aka the Dirty Dirty or, simply, Atlanta. He ventured out here for a restart in life. What better place than a city linked mythologically to resurrection? Kenny has a penchant for all things creative. Art, music, homemade gin and tonics, architecture, writing and sweet tea are all important aspects of the world of Kenny Bump. You will catch him strolling Downtown for that evasive perfect meal, or to just to mingle with the peeps at a First Friday. If you want to know anything about the stereotypes of the South, the magnificence of grits or why sweet tea is a viable resource, then Kenny is your guy. He currently resides in the Garfield district.

Sips and Grub | Strawberry Italian Soda at Copper Star Coffee
I’m always game for finding new places. When a buddy and I walked up to Copper Star, I could tell this was my kind of coffee shop.
Jimmy Eat World’s Not at All Secret Show
For a “secret” show, it sure was let out of the bag. But, Jimmy Eat World brought us a memorable kiss-off to the current Modified Arts anyway.
