I'm not from here and I don't have a membership to AJC so I can't see the full list, but I remember a lot of these things. I chuckled the most at K-Swiss because I saw a classic pair at Perimter Mall recently (I think at Dillard's, but I forget which store) and it took everything in me not to buy a pair lol. I took my graduation pics at Olan Mills. I don't even want to talk about Eckerds and Woolworth; we've delapidated into three drug stores: Walgreens, CVS, and Rite-AID? What happened?

The only thing really exclusive to my experience in Atlanta was the death of Rich's. Seriously?!? I was outdone; they seriously blew up my spot. Now, I'm stuck with Macy's buying up or leasing their stores, and I didn't even care enough to throw shade their way in the past. Though not my favorite spot, I will give a shout out to Mervynns - miss ya.
