You will not find anything like
the Junkman’s Daughter, Atlanta’s Alternative Super
Store, anywhere except in the edgy…well, over-the-edge Atlanta
Neighborhood of Little Five Points.
It all began in 1982, when Pam Majors, who really IS the daughter Of a
junkman, rented a 1,000 square-foot storefront. She filled it with
tchotchkes and dead stock from her parents 40 year accumulation of
stuff, and began adding her own take on weird and wonderful. Her eye for
the bizarre but beautiful drew everyone from neighborhood folk, artists,
musicians and trendsetters…who were obviously followed by… you guessed
it…celebrities. Steven Tyler, Bono, Cyndi Lauper, ZZ Top, The Clash,
Betsey Johnson, Lenny Kravitz, Pat Field, Pink, Alice Cooper, Outkast,
Courtney Love, Usher, Tura Santana, Debbie Harry, Avril Lavigne, Nicky
Sixx, Rick James, Alanis Morrisette…you get the picture.
