Old School Junkie Spotlight:

Todd and Catrese Allen 

By: Old School Tribune
March 10, 2006

Todd Allen A.K.A T-diddy

Todd and Catrese Allen are one of only three married couples (still married that is) in the Urban Archives family. Ladies, stop selling yourselves short by not dating younger men. Todd met Catrese (several years his senior) at the workplace, and they are approaching their four year anniversary in April. Congratulations.

Born and raised in Philly, Todd- someway, somehow- grew up as a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals and Utah Jazz.  Now living in Atlanta, Todd often has one of his favorite Philly snacks, tastycakes, shipped down South.
