Buckhead area again ...
“Buckhead area again ...”
Just curious. Is it a ghetto animal zoo area?
Phipps Plaza is right across from Lenox Square.
Decades ago, Lenox was considered the upscale shopping mall in Atlanta. Phillips was the super-upscale shopping mall.
Then they built a MARTA rail station right next to Lenox Mall. As one person who owned a store in Lenox told me: the traffic skyrocketed, but purchases dropped through the floor.
“Kids” from downtown and the southside would hop on MARTA and get off at Lenox to hang out. Today, Lenox is one of the least safe malls in the area.
Phipps fought this off with extra security (and the fact that Lenox sat between it and the stations) for years. It seems they have lost the fight. I admit I haven’t been to Phipps Plaza in decades, I’ve been informed it is just as bad as Lenox today.
