Actually, I was talking about Lenox - not WEM.

Look here's the answer everyone's been waiting for to answer the OP's question: to some people, Lenox is ghetto, to other people it's not. There's no point arguing whether it is or not because there's no way to prove it. Tenant mix, patron mix, the types of cars in the parking lot...we could go on forever about what qualifies as "ghetto." So if you think Lenox is ghetto, hood, dangerous, lame, whatever, then don't go there. There are tons of malls in this area for you to choose from.

The Lenox area used to be quite nice. When did it go ghetto?

(I'm still not sure what ghetto means but everybody says it so I guess I will, too).

Ok how do you know her bag is a fake? Because she is a janitor? Anyone who purchases fake articles makes me wonder what are they trying to accomplish? The knock offs really hurt the real brand. There are lanes for every consumer, and honestly I dont step foot in a store I dont belong it. ILL window shop from the internet. I shop at Express, AE, Aeropostle, Apple...but Louis V or Fendi?? naw man I aint stepping in there, and I dont want the bootlegs either. Although an Omega or Audemurs timepiece would float my boat lol!

I asked some of these people to please hold it down and was loudly cursed at and booed for doing so. On both occasions we asked management to do something, but they said it was beyond their control, and gave us refunds. The second time was really unpleasant because we'd taken our 12 year old grandson and his friend with us.

We knew a number of locals who had similar experiences, and after a while people just quit going because the situation was so out of control. The theater had been a local favorite for many years and most were sad to see it go, but you simply could not watch a movie there any more.

For a while the food court wasn't much better, although the mall seems to have gotten a grip on that situation.
A bunch of young white people acting a donkey always gets on my nerves, but thats Atlanta for you. Glad they shut that theater down. Sounds like that freaknik riot at Screen on the Green.

Agreed, though you can't tell skin color in a movie theater so I can't say they were white. I don't know whether they were young either. Either way, obnoxious is obnoxious.

No telling what got into the patrons at Lenox -- it used to be a pretty nice theater.

except that there is a definition for "ghetto", and lenox doesn't fit it

Surely you jest. I'm willing to bet the hooligans at Lennox were not white, and I know the Screen on the Green thugs were black. I hardly go to movies anymore because some people are so rude and ignorant. Thank God for blu-ray.
