Pics: Atlanta's Newest Tourist Attraction: The Pink Trap House

ATLANTA, GA -- With a fresh coat of audacious pink paint, a modest home on Howell Mill Road in northwest Atlanta has become the city's newest tourist attraction, beckoning hundreds of people to the site each day.

Ride by the "Pink Trap House" as it has become known, and you will see all types of people from diverse backgrounds taking selfies and the like in front of the one-story structure.

The home, located at 1530 Howell Mill Road, was painted and renovated as part of an album listening party for local rapper 2 Chainz.

The term "trap house," slang for a drug house, has become associated with Atlanta's rap scene.

The home has since become an important art installation in the city's pantheon. Most recently, it has become an HIV testing site.

But not everyone is a fan of the colorful addition to West Midtown.

"I hate the #PinkTrapHouse," Greenforest Community Baptist Church Youth Pastor Al Hollie Jr recently posted to his Facebook page. "Its very disappointing that our African American Brothers and Sisters are excited to take pictures in front of the Pink TRAP house . Though it's not a real Trap House, the representation of the Trap House is responsible for destroying the black community."

Some neighbors have also told local media that they are not too pleased at the added attention their neighborhood has gotten.

2 Chainz recently posted about the pink trap house on his Instagram, showing the home's interior. He said that the video gave a glimpse of "something seldom shown .. art, kids, music, good vibes, inspiration, etc. The word TRAP is and was associated with a negative connotation We will see after we get thru (sic) injected some cultural ideas (that) the move the needle inch by inch."

2 Chainz' new album is called "Pretty Girls Like Trap Music."
