On this episode of Butternomics, host Brandon Butler sits down with Krystal and Doug Peterson, a powerhouse couple leading the charge in Atlanta’s real estate, culture, and business scene. From revitalizing Bankhead Seafood to creating the Trap Music Museum, they’ve made it their mission to preserve and elevate Black-owned spaces in the city. They discuss their strategy for buying back the block, why restoring Bankhead Seafood was about more than food, the business of real estate and community impact, and how they turned the Trap Music Museum from a pop-up into a lasting cultural institution.
