Steve Harvey lives in the Sandy Springs panhandle.

Edit: Diddy also owned a mansion on Spalding but I’m not sure if he still owns it.

He does. It never sold and has been in various states of renovation for years. Has a for sale sign in front of it

Apparently one of the B52s used to live on my street.

Ed Roland from Collective Soul lives around here somewhere.

Ed Dodd, the creator of Mark Trail used to live off Abernathy. The neighborhood is called Lost Forest now.

Not necessarily a celebrity but someone who became a face of the 2020 election, Gabriel Sterling, lives right down the street from me

When someone swatted his house all the fire trucks and police cars swarmed past

Big difference between the discussion of celebrities in town and violating someone's privacy.
