Five days ago just across I-285 from the Braves stadium, Truist Park, there was a shootout in broad daylight in the parking lot of Cumberland Mall, which is just across Cobb Parkway from The Galleria.
Man, child shot outside Cumberland Mall, police say
I worked in an MCI wire center for several years in the 1000 building on Circle 75 Parkway that now wraps around Truist Park. I also had to maintain telecommunications equipment in the 900 and 1100 buildings. It sure has changed down there and we didn't even get a free t-shirt. We did get a higher tax load.
I used to work for the Atlanta Police Dept. Years ago, you couldn’t get those folks to be anywhere near that area, or most of Cobb, other than maybe the stretch along 20, maybe.
But times sure have changed. For all the money in Vinings, the last time I was through there(and it’s been a while), the demographics sure did change.
