Drove through Atlanta last week after not having been there for about twenty years. I couldn’t believe how hollowed out it was. Nice areas years ago now just abandoned.
These “teens’s” behavior is exactly responsible for the decay.
I was stationed in Albany GA in the early ‘70s. Loved driving up and visiting Underground. It was rough in a kind of an exciting, Wild West way. Last time I was there, oh 10 years ago, it was a dreary mall. Now, you couldn’t get me to go there with armed bodyguards.
