ATLANTA - A man walking to his car at Lenox Square Mall became the latest armed robbery victim at the luxury shopping center.

The incident happened on a recent weekend during a very busy time when patrons flock to the area for entertainment as well as shopping.

According to an Atlanta Police report, a customer purchased a pair of Jordan sneakers at the Nike store located at the mall's front entrance.

As he walked to his car, two men approached him in a vehicle. One suspect exited the car, pulled out a gun, and demanded the Nike bag and the shopper's wallet.

The gunman took $100 cash from the wallet and quietly returned the billfold.

Visit the store (somewhere besides Lenox Square) to try on/examine the merchandise, then order what you want online.

Why would the man buy shoes made by slave labor?

“at the luxury shopping center” my foot.

Based on personal observation, starting when the mall first opened, it ceased being a popular luxury shopping center soon after MARTA opened a subway station close enough to provide quick getaway for shoplifters on foot.

This news should be BREAKING NEWS, except this happens every single day in Atlanta.

Other than food and fuel and pharmacy pick ups, order just about everything else.

I won’t even bother guessing the ethnicity of the perpetrators.

You are right, Lenox Square ceased to be a high end mall when Marta came into play. Nonetheless, being a former Buckhead home owner, I will say the area is still very high end, very valuable property. The trouble, IMO, lies with the bribes/money of politicians/city managers who want the funding. The Buckhead property owners are devastated by the continual deterioration of their community.

If I still lived in Buckhead, I’d be shopping at outlying strip malls away from Buckhead. But Lenox Square is convenient.

‘”If you are a man or a woman and you are carrying a (hot item), you might want to ask the mall for an escort to your car,” Rich said.;

Yes, call former mayor Sam Massell, get him out of his comfy $1M home, and tell him to come escort you to your car.

The people in Buckhead DESPERATELY want to sever their connections to Atlanta (they’re presently part of that ‘cosmopolitan’ city. But it takes an act of the state government...and guess who’s blocking it - the REPUBLICANS there. The question is WHY?

Avalon in Alpharetta is very nice. The Avenue at West Cobb and The Avenue at East Cobb are good too, and they are all very far away from the Buckhead crime wave.

money.

You would surmise, being a black cosmopolitan city, the political demographics would be Democrat.

When I left Buckhead for Roswell, I never looked back. Maynard Jackson was mayor then.

Now you know why the CDC is so stupid and useless. Its HQ and workforce are in Atlanta, and draw from the local labor pool in a very affirmative action way.

The suburbs have done an inexorable northwards march for the ~45 years I have lived in the ATL area.

We all know why.
