According to a press release, Atlanta Rapper T.I. is set to open a restaurant in Downtown Atlanta:

Historic Downtown Atlanta will be home to T.I.'s first restaurant venture. The renovation and refurbishing process of the landmark property is well underway, as plans for the new upscale Southern cuisine restaurant unfolds. An official announcement, sharing complete details, is planned for the coming weeks.

Several local blogs, including What Now Atlanta, report the location as the shuttered Vibe Restaurant and Lounge at 30 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd.

And many are wondering if TI can succeed in an Atlanta dining scene where Ludacris (Straits) and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (Justin's) opened and closed restaurants.
