Atlanta showed up early for Outkast and Waffle House.
The occasion was the launch of a limited-edition merch collaboration between two brands that have spent decades becoming shorthand for Atlanta.
By 10 a.m., the line wrapped around the block. People brought folding chairs, swapped Outkast stories and talked about Freaknik, old Atlanta and the first time they heard “Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.” Some had been waiting since before sunrise.
And then there was the Cadillac.
Heather King left her spot in line to get a picture with John Williams’ 1972 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and offered to pay for his parking. Hours later, Williams returned the gesture by paying for all of her merch.
As King put it: “The Southern hospitality is real here.”
