Steve Harvey and The Wren’s Nest — Confused Yet Again
Posted by: Amelia // Category: All Grown Folks, All The Time, Celebrity Requests, Whoops! // 11:24 am
Remember that time that the Wren’s Nest received mail for the one and only Mr. Steve Harvey, care of Grown Folks Radio?
We do. Because IT JUST HAPPENED!
You’ll note that the address is ours, but neither Steve Harvey nor Grown Folks Radio reside here. Well, at least not today.
To our knowledge, Mr. Harvey has not requested that all of his mail be sent here. Which is not to say that we’re not up for it, by the way. I bet he gets all sorts of promotional mugs.
In the meantime, to our undoubtedly huge readership at 102.5fm: want to come pick this up?

They all used to be on the letterhead of the Uncle Remus Memorial Association.
(Here’s the entire list, in case any of you are really into Atlanta history.)
I wonder if they were all aware that their names flanked our materials, or if Andrew Carnegie was just like, “Ladies, ladies, chill out! These Presidents–these Presidents are so busy, they’ll never know. Go ahead, put them on the stationary. And if anyone complains, I’ll take care of ‘em.”
Also, no offense to our current board, but come on. You guys are clearly not famous enough. I’m looking at you, Harold.

Today our soundtrack at the Wren’s Nest is being provided by The Family Consort, a “jam band” that plays recorders.
Just figured we’d keep you up to date on what’s happening in our backyard.
They’re in a wedding here tomorrow, and currently getting a feel for the venue. You never know about backyard acoustics, I guess.
Also, please pardon the cinematography. I’m just learning how to use the camera.

Thanks, y’all.
In case you ever wanted to know what’s across the street from the Wren’s Nest, here you go:
I didn’t realize they had parked there until it was too late.
At any rate, we don’t have very far to go for paint. Or hair stylin’.

We have three primary goals at the Wren’s Nest:
- Raise enough money to stay in business and maybe, just maybe, pay the staff.
- Preserve the legacy of Joel Chandler Harris and the heritage of African American folklore.
- To once, just once, be considered grown folk.
Against all odds, we’re closing in on #3!
(The Wren’s Nest is going on! The Wren’s Nest is going on!)
Tomorrow morning Atlanta’s own 102.5 Grown Folks Radio will be coming to the Wren’s Nest! They’ll be broadcasting live from the Nest as part of their Black History Month tour from about 11am - 1pm. You can find out more about the tour here.
Tune in, Atlanta readers!
Note: If you hear someone in the background asserting they’re a “grown folk” and then giggling, that’s me! Being famous!
Also, this may become the Wren’s Nest’s new catchphrase, if I have anything to say about it:
No fledgling folks allowed! Except for assertive toddlers. They’re cool by me.
