The event, billed as “the biggest self-made car show in history,” will showcase hundreds of custom and classic vehicles, celebrity appearances, live music, and food vendors.
While the show promises an exciting day for attendees, local officials in South Fulton and Fayette County have rolled out a comprehensive traffic management plan to handle the anticipated crowds and minimize disruptions. The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026.
Rick Ross Car & Bike Show: South Fulton, Fayetteville Brace for Major Traffic Disruptions
Strict Parking and Shuttle RequirementsOrganizers and law enforcement emphasize that no foot traffic or walking into the event will be permitted. Attendees, including rideshare passengers, must park at designated off-site lots and take secure shuttle buses.
- Off-site parking lots: World Changers Church (2500 Burdett Road, Atlanta) and the Masonic Lodge off Old National Highway.
- VIP parking: Strictly limited to 200 spaces. VIP drivers must check in at Heatherwood Church for hangtags before proceeding to the site.
Exhibitors and food vendors must arrive by 8 a.m., or they will be redirected to the remote lots.
Heavy Police Presence and Road Restrictions
South Fulton Police Department will deploy nearly 48 officers starting at 9 a.m. to manage traffic along Old National Highway and surrounding areas. Expect heavy congestion beginning around 10 a.m., with another surge around 6 p.m. as the event concludes.

Waffle House, the beloved 24/7 Southern diner chain famous for its waffles, hash browns, and late-night vibes, has opened a limited-time pop-up merch shop in the heart of downtown Atlanta—just in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup excitement.
Waffle House Launches Soccer-Themed Pop-Up Merch Shop in Downtown Atlanta for 2026 FIFA World Cup
The shop, announced today via the official Waffle House social media account, is located at the chain’s longstanding restaurant at 135 Andrew Young International Blvd NW, right next to Centennial Olympic Park and steps from Mercedes-Benz Stadium (a key World Cup venue).
Waffle House Pop-Up Details
Store hours (as posted by Waffle House):
- June 12 – June 21, 2026: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. daily
- Game days: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
The announcement playfully invites fans to “stop by for your favorite waffle or soccer gear! “
A short video shared with the post shows the storefront under a bright red awning, with large windows displaying an array of Waffle House-branded apparel and accessories. Inside, tables overflow with folded tees, hats, soccer balls, and waffle-themed towels. The merch has a fun soccer twist: jersey-style shirts featuring the number “55,” “Good Food Fast®” slogans, Atlanta skyline graphics, diner motifs, and bold yellow-and-black color schemes with checkered patterns. Classic items like trucker hats, bucket hats, and branded soccer balls round out the selection.0
Background and World Cup Tie-In
This pop-up builds on earlier plans announced in spring 2026. Waffle House filed permits to expand its downtown Atlanta location with a small retail space (around 200 sq ft) specifically to capitalize on the massive influx of international soccer fans visiting Centennial Olympic Park and attending matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during the tournament.
The chain has a history of temporary merch pop-ups. In late 2025, it ran a successful holiday pop-up shop in Peachtree Corners featuring exclusive seasonal items, discounts, and even free waffles from a food truck on Black Friday.18
This summer version is clearly tailored for the global soccer spotlight, blending Waffle House’s iconic “America’s Place” branding (complete with eagle-and-flag motifs) with soccer energy.
What Fans Can Expect
Visitors can grab:
- Soccer-inspired tees and apparel
- Hats and accessories
- Fun novelty items like branded soccer balls and waffle towels
- Classic Waffle House merch
While enjoying their favorite diner classics right next door (the restaurant remains fully operational). The prime location makes it ideal for fans exploring the fan zone or heading to watch parties.
Waffle House also maintains a permanent online store at shop.wafflehouse.com with a wide range of apparel, accessories, and gifts for those who can’t visit in person.
A Perfect Blend of Southern Charm and Global Sport
Waffle House has long been a cultural touchstone in the South—and now it’s embracing its role as a welcoming spot for the world during the biggest sporting event on the planet. Whether you’re a die-hard soccer supporter looking for unique souvenirs or a longtime “Waffle House regular” wanting to rep the brand with a soccer flair, this pop-up delivers.
The shop runs through June 21, 2026 (with potential extensions tied to ongoing matches). If you’re in Atlanta for the World Cup—or just passing through downtown—swing by 135 Andrew Young International Blvd for some good food, fast service, and fresh merch.
Pro tip: Arrive early on game days for the extended hours and the best selection!

Atlanta is marking a major milestone in its ambitious urban trail project today as the Atlanta Beltline officially opens Southside Trail Segments 2 and 3.
The 1.9-mile addition connects key parts of the network, linking the Southside, Eastside, and Westside trails and creating approximately 16.7 miles of continuous mainline trail. This expansion ties together 36 neighborhoods across the Northwest, Westside, Southside, Eastside, and Northeast sections of the Beltline.
Atlanta Beltline Opens Southside Trail Segments 2 and 3
The new segments run from west of I-75/85 (near McDaniel Street at University Avenue) to Boulevard, passing landmarks like Pittsburgh Yards®. They build on the earlier opening of Segments 4 and 5 in April 2026, which added 1.2 miles connecting Glenwood Park, Grant Park, Ormewood Park, and Boulevard Heights.
A Long-Awaited Connection Timed for FIFA World Cup
Construction on Segments 2 and 3 began in May 2024. The project faced delays from unexpected environmental cleanup (brownfield remediation) near Milton Avenue and D.H. Stanton Park, but crews accelerated work to ensure the trail would be open and accessible for the 2026 FIFA World Cup events in Atlanta. Most concrete pouring wrapped up by spring 2026, with final punch-list items, landscaping, and ramp completions extending into early June.
The trail features a 14-foot-wide concrete multi-use path with soft shoulders, designed for walkers, runners, cyclists, and others. It includes new stormwater infrastructure, retaining walls, bridges, and improved access points, enhancing safety and connectivity in southwest Atlanta.
Public Celebration Today
The Atlanta Beltline invited the public to a ribbon-cutting celebration at 4 p.m., June 12, at 352 University Ave. SW (near Pittsburgh Yards). Attendees took part in community festivities highlighting this “milestone moment” for the city’s growing trail network.
Broader Impact of the Beltline
The Beltline, conceived from a 1999 Georgia Tech thesis to repurpose historic rail corridors, has evolved into a transformative force for Atlanta. It drives economic growth, with billions in private investment, new housing, businesses, parks, and public art along the routes. The expanded connectivity promotes active transportation, reduces car dependency, links diverse neighborhoods, and boosts local commerce.
Future phases will continue building toward the full 22-mile loop, including additional connectors, parks, and long-planned transit elements. While challenges like environmental remediation and construction timelines persist, today’s opening underscores steady progress toward a more walkable, vibrant Atlanta.
Whether you’re a daily commuter, weekend explorer, or visitor in town for the World Cup, the new Southside segments offer fresh ways to experience the city’s heart and soul. Lace up your shoes, hop on a bike, or join the celebration—Atlanta’s trails just got even better.

After more than three years of a very public and often messy split that played out both in Fulton County courtrooms and on Real Housewives of Atlanta, Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman’s divorce is now final.
Drew Sidora Divorce From Husband Ralph Pittman Officially Finalized: Atlanta Home, Child Support, and Asset Split Revealed
A Georgia judge signed off on the dissolution of the marriage on June 8, 2026, bringing an end to one of Atlanta’s most closely watched celebrity divorces. As AtlantaFi has reported throughout the long-running battle—including the recent temporary eviction scare in May—financial disputes, custody arrangements, and the fate of the couple’s $1.9 million Atlanta-area home remained at the center of the fight.
Here’s what the final decree includes, according to court documents circulating online and confirmed by multiple sources close to the case:
- Child Support: Drew Sidora has been ordered to pay Ralph Pittman $2,218 per month in child support for their two younger children.
- The Atlanta Home: Ralph Pittman was awarded ownership of the couple’s $1.9 million marital home in the Atlanta area. However, he must pay Drew approximately $145,000 for her equity interest in the property.
- Vehicles: Drew keeps the Cadillac Escalade. Ralph receives the Porsche Taycan and Cadillac XT5.
- The Family Dog: Drew was awarded the family dog.
- Spousal Support: Neither party will receive spousal support.
- Name Change: Drew’s last name has been officially restored to Jordan.
The settlement comes after months of back-and-forth court filings, temporary custody orders, and public statements from both sides. AtlantaFi first covered the couple’s cohabitation drama last year when Ralph was living in the basement of the same home while Drew occupied the main level—a situation that became a recurring storyline on RHOA.
Tensions escalated further in early 2026 when a judge temporarily ordered Drew to vacate the property by May 31 due to the couple’s ongoing financial entanglements. That order was reversed just days later in a last-minute court reversal, allowing Drew to remain in the home temporarily while the final terms were worked out.
Fans and followers of the show have reacted strongly to the news online, with many noting the financial implications for both parties. Drew, who has continued filming RHOA and pursuing other projects, will now move forward without the marital home that once symbolized the couple’s “dream life” in Atlanta. Ralph, who has been more low-key since the separation, gains primary ownership of the property but assumes responsibility for the mortgage and the $145K payout to Drew.
The couple, who share sons Machai and Aniya (Drew also has an older son, Josiah, from a previous relationship), had been navigating joint legal custody arrangements amid the prolonged proceedings. Court records cited past issues with school attendance as a factor in the physical custody decisions.
While the divorce is now legally complete, the story is far from over for Atlanta’s reality TV circle. Drew has hinted at new chapters in her personal and professional life, and the upcoming RHOA reunion is expected to revisit the drama in full view of cameras.
AtlantaFi will continue to follow any further developments, including potential updates on the home sale or future co-parenting arrangements. For now, the long Atlanta-based chapter of Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman’s marriage has officially closed.
