Anya99 has written about Atlanta for local, regional and national publications since sometime in the late 20th century. She started RetroATL.com so she could write more about her favorite things which include wearing vintage dresses and pointy pumps, slowly sipping Polynesian cocktails in the Monster Island Tiki Lounge (aka her “den”), cheering on the Atlanta Rollergirls, watching old movies from cult to classic at the Plaza Theatre, and swinging to rockabilly at the Star Bar.
Why the 99? Would you believe it has something to do with Barbara Feldon on GET SMART? Yeah, that’s right, the original 1960s TV series with Don Adams, not the recent Steve Carel remake. But, of course, you knew that already which is why you’re reading this blog.
However, to keep up with all the amazing local talent and activities here in Atlanta, I could use a few guest bloggers. If you’d like to blog for ATLRetro, email ATLRetro@gmail.com.

I’ve been following your blog for a bit. I love it, but I think it would be great to feature local ATL folks, who live a retro life style or perhaps feature their homes.
Also, Northcrest is Atlanta’s premier mid-century modern ‘hood (despite being OTP). You can find info on the website (http://www.northcrestmodern.com/). And there are a few people who blog about various renovations on their home, for example, Our Modern Mess (http://ourmodernmess.blogspot.com/), and I’m sure they’d love some publicity from your blog.

Hi May,
You’re welcome and thanks for the compliment on ATLRetro, too. Just checked out your Website and love the reference to you as a new Ella Fitzgerald! If you play Atlanta, please get in touch as I’d love to run an interview with you. I hope to be back in NY soon, too, so I’ll be sure to check and see if you’re playing.
–Anya
