Butter.ATL knows as much as anyone else that Atlanta makes amazing social media content. We also know that we’re not the only ones doing it well.

Today we’re spotlighting an Atlanta real estate agent named Donovan Reynolds, who is clearly an ATL historian when he’s not selling property, giving advice to Forbes readers on buying a condo, speaking to American Express’ blog about hosting virtual home tours for customers, and occasionally showing up on Steve Harvey’s TV show.

Reynolds is getting a lot of love on ATL Twitter today, because he put together an amazing Twitter thread detailing the history of Underground Atlanta. It’s not his first swing at archiving city landmarks through 140-character missives — he’s had several threads go viral in the past few months, including histories of Lake Lanier, Ponce City Market and more.

And he also, as you might imagine, knows a thing or two about buying a house, which is all the rage these days.

We love ATL, and we love when others love ATL too (you know polyamory is also all the rage these days), so we wanted to make sure folks who could appreciate his work saw it.

Check out Donovan Reynolds’ tweetstorm below, and give him a follow so you don’t miss his #ThreadThursday series of tweeting game to ATLiens!
