Is Lenox Square ghetto?? (Atlanta, Decatur: school, malls, metro)

[GrowOldGetWise]

It was when I was young, that I learned most people were p*ssys. Being wild on the street, we would cause problems and scare people. But all you gotta do is stand up for yourself, it quickly cuts all that kid **** out. Now if I'm at a movie theater, and some kids act up, like I may have once long ago (thats karma for ya), I'll turn around, and shut them up. Whoever said, grow a backbone is right, don't let a bunch of kids stop you from shopping, going to a movie, whatever, if you do, your simply a p*ssy.

Most Atlantans don't need to come into the city. Even the majority of city residents commute to work in the burbs.

How that translates into mostly black crowds is hard to say, since most blacks live outside the city, too.

What if you are elderly, of slight stature, or a kid, or have a disability?

Perhaps that's a fault on my part and I should widen my horizons, but it's an innate sense that's hard to overcome. Poor, loud, ignorant people exist regardless of race and have much the same effect on me.

That's not a bad thing to think, most people have been conditioned to be that way. Sadly, some people seem to think that that type of behavior is relegated to one type of person of a particular type of skin tone.

It's pretty sad that here we sit in the year 2010, in a city known far and wide as America's black Mecca, and which has had decades of black government and a majority black police force, yet it's still targeting black citizens.

Word. That's why I'm a 112 lb. 55 yo woman that carries a loaded pistol in my purse. Bring it. I'm DYING to use 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.

You sound irritated. Are you irritated?

No the kids at the theater making all the noise were those out of control white kids from cobb county, sagging their pants, talking loud on cell phone, tattoos, same type of white kids throwing rocks at people trying to enjoy a movie at Screen on the Green. What is Atlanta gong to do about these people?
