T.I.'s Atlanta strip club celebrates its first anniversary

T.I.'s Atlanta strip club, V-Live, celebrated its first anniversary Friday night.

A promotional flier touting the event suggested people get there early as a big crowd was expected. Scrolling through the social media feeds of club goers this morning, it looks like that was good advice.

The place was packed, and some folks found the departure process slow going, as the parking remained full for hours.

V-Live, on Marietta Boulevard downtown, opened with great fanfare last year after 1,600 entertainers auditioned for a reported 100 spots .

Since then it's attracted a high-profile crowd. Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton has been by as have Drake and 2 Chainz.
