Not that Atlanta is a bad place to live. You just have to be careful ... some locations actually *are* dangerous or risky.

Now that I look at it, there is nothing close to Clayton County's equivalent. A few sketchy areas, of course, but nothing like what you might find in metro Atlanta. Minnesota at least has townships and it isn't that corrupt compared to some places. |

Brooklyn Park is nice.
I used to live there.
Most family-knit babies from Minnesota will say that its "Ghetto" and a "bad" neighborhood, but anywhere else in the country it would be considered a great place to live. Yes, there is an influx of immigrants and minorities, but dont be so closeminded.

I agree- my links must not have worked for you- I was being facetious/ sarcastic with my post. All of the links were to streetviews of pretty upscale areas in and around Edinburgh golf course. |

 . Not necessarily "ghetto" but definitely not the prettiest mall. |

LOL @ Miley
Yes that is so, so bad. The giant Brookdale sign is just frightening. It is almost as scary as Maplehood.

Not to mention the fact that it's off-topic as this is a thread about Brooklyn Park and the mall is in Brooklyn Center bordering Minneapolis. I could care less how pretty a mall is - I love going to Brookdale as, unlike other metro-area malls, it's easily accessible and not a complete zoo on weekends/ evenings. |

I never meant to imply it was "frightening". I'd rather just go to Nicollet or MOA. Heck, even Southdale.  |

Well that is the cool thing about capitalism. You get to pick where you shop. I seem to like Maplehood myself. Mosty because I can't see driving farther to get the same stuff. |
