Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta is nearly a distant memory, but the promise of making money during that big week is leaving some businesses wondering how they missed out.
Down the street from Mercedes Benz Stadium, artist and entrepreneur Miya Bailey says he didn’t make any extra money from the big game.
But Bailey, who lives in Castleberry Hill, isn't waiting for anyone else to revitalize his neighborhood.

He’s used to grinding, which led him to essentially buy a block of buildings in the area, including a tattoo parlor and a merchandise shop.
Now, he’s using his talent as an artist, and his hustle, to build up Castleberry Hill with the help of his friends and the community.
