Only in Atlanta

Mr. Willy Terry


As I was going through facebook today I happened upon a very interesting story. My son William Long had made a post about the Package Man aka Mr Willy Terry, having a myspace page. This was something that I forgot about when it came to Atlanta. Wait I guess I should go back and introduce the people who may not know him very well to the Package Man. The first time I saw the Package Man I was riding home with my friend Tommy and his dad down Ponce De Leon. We got stuck in a bit of traffic and stopped right in front of this dude wearing bike shorts. Tommy was like there goes the Package Man. That when I noticed that sitting inside his biker was what looked like some oranges. I was like what the.....? Tommy was like yeah that dude usually just chill out here.

Then I started to see this dude more regularly, and I was puzzled by it. I wondered why he just stood there, was he waiting on somebody, was he just trying to show the goods off, did he have elephantiasis? There were a lot of questions running through my mind. One thing that I admit and anybody who goes past the package man has to admit is that it is kind of hard not to stare at him, just because of the courageousness that you are witnessing at the time. And always seems to do a very long lean forward when certain cars pass by.

I remember the first time I was with my mom and she saw the Package Man. It had to be one of the funniest things ever. She was talking about how disgusting it was and I was just laughing, and I could not stop laughing.

The Package Man is truly a Myth or a Legend in the city of Atlanta. It is one of those things that if you are from Atlanta or have at least been around the east side of Atlanta or down Ponce De Leon you know something about the Package Man. I am sure there are even a few tourist who to Atlanta to see the Package Man. Maybe they should make the corner that he stands on a historical site, He definitely deserves some sort of recognition.

Here is a docuementary that devles a little deeper into the man that is the Package Man:

Pt. 2


The sounds seems to not be working but you can watch the video on his myspace:

Pt.1 There are some crazy nicknames in it. D E A D.

Pt.2 is a classic, and reveals that the Package Man is actually a Jack Of All Trade. And he also reveals his favorite positions.

Also LMAO at him mentioning the fact that he integrated the city of Atlanta before Martin Luther King.

PS. Also I hear that he has been MIA since the summer. And can somebody tell me what is what with that dude Keith who works at CVS. Dead his interview and also his appearance. There are some great interviews in this one. J Dawg is quite funny as well.
