Old 4th Ward- Walgreens Has Tide Pods Under Lock & Key (buy, movies)

[back2atl]

I used to commute down Boulevard. Learned not to leave my windows open when I had them down on a nice morning and suddenly a guy was half in my car at a red light.

Gotta think the nonsense is gonna quiet down as the area keeps getting more expensive.

Kids in white tees still serving as look out at the corners? That always sketched me out too.

With the pine shelter closing, this area will likely improve quickly.

That being said, I don't know how locked up detergent and dirty parking lots are related, unless it's just to point to a bad area of town.

I absolutely agree re: the Pine Street shelter, it was nothing less than toxic to the area.

Emory has huge plans to build up right across the street as well, which should be a huge catalyst for change.

If the Boston owners of all the apartments along Boulevard really are finally willing to sell, that would be the big game changer.

Men's shaving products, deodorant historically forced to be placed under noise-making displays to deter theft.

Now, Tide and Gain detergent pods are locked up due to the thieving populace trying to cash in on the huge
black market for premium detergent products.

As magnetar said, it isn't just about this neighborhood or this part of town.

No, it isn't. We saw detergent on lockdown in suburban New England earlier this Summer.

what kind of society is this, where we see people with mental disorders and cognitive deficiencies who have been abandoned by our society and left out in the street, people who have been screwed over by the economy and are on their last leg trying to make cash in any way they can... and our first thoughts are not "how can i help?", but instead, "these people are inconveniencing me and making the inanimate objects around me look dirty, how do we get rid of them?"

all the people who lived through the depression knew how tough things could be for people and how easily your life could turn on a dime, but they have all passed away now, and now the only people left are generations of people who have had everything handed to them on a silver spoon and are so detached from the reality of suffering that they see everyone as television and video game characters instead of actual, real people.

with all these hurricanes, trump getting elected, north korea about to nuke us, neo-nazis storming the streets... maybe it's divine judgement on us for what we've become.

Just an aside, the baby boomers and older went heavily for Trump, and are the most likely to be against social safety nets. You re attacking younger generations despite the youngest generations being the most likely to be for socialistic policies and higher taxes to help the less fortunate.

baby boomers are the people i'm mainly talking about, the TV generation, most people who are old enough to remember the depression or WWII in any real way have all passed away or are in their 80s now.

I do agree that a lot of the older generation are selfish. They want their medicare protected at all costs but do not give a about health care for all and other social welfare that could benefit the masses. I hate it when they talk about young people being selfish.
