All of us are super excited and the store is gorgeous...it's now finished and we open June 5. As far as these comments.....I've lived all over the world and the people here in the South are clearly stuck in the past....especially when it comes to skin color. Southern hospitality I think not. I'm pretty sure God is pissed considering he made "All" of us humans.

Many high end retailers wish they could break their current leases elsewhere for the opportunity to sell to the customers of that mall. It was the affluent spending of that Lenox Mall customer that Louis Vuitton recognized which lead to their placement of one of only 5 international stores right here in Atlanta at Lenox Mall only to have Bulgari and quite a few others to join them.<br /><br /><br />The retailers you spoke about that moved from Lenox probably just couldn't afford the rent or stay open or found themselves not being able to meet the high end demand of Lenox Mall's more affluent client, rapper or not. <br /><br />Nice try. Passe intent, but nice try.

I guess it will be the same ole follow the "new" spot for the larger developments in the south.

Saying that Lenox only has "wannabe rappers" instead of saying black people just doesn't makes sense because some of them are acutully like that: wearing baggy, huge atrocious Nike tee shirts and shoes, low pants. I don't care what colour you are I do not want to see your underwear. There are all different types of black people at Lenox. There are people who are more classy (like Oprah or Michelle Obama) and these wannabe rappers at the same mall on both ends of the spectrum. Trust me, I saw some white trash at Lenox too and I looked at them with just as much or more disgust than the wannabe rappers. If you don't notice a difference between those people (wannabe rappers) and normal black people then you must be blind. There are a ton of Black people buying at this mall. That's fine and great, I just don't want non classy people shopping at the upscale mall. Trust me, I dislike white rednecks more than actual or wannabe rappers.

Thinking that you are better than someone just because of your skin colour is ridiculous and ignorant. I don't like loud, obnoxious people, and I think "white trash" (I am white) is just as bad if not worse than these "wannabee rappers". I mean, didn't Gucci Mane almost get in a fight at Lenox not too long ago? Lenox is definitely almost peaceful through the week, but the weekend is awful. There are so many people not even buying or browsing and people could care less about running over children. Then Phipps has Legoland and too many children. Atlanta definitely deserves better. Similar sized cities have much better malls. I blame Simon. <br /><br />As for Cheesecake, I find it interesting that MOG is getting one at almost the same time. I wonder if Simon knew Cheesecake was desperate for a Buckhead location and made them lease space at Mall of Georgia in order to lease at Lenox. After all, MOG has had the space of a Cheesecake Factory for a while.

Lenox mon thru thursday is a joy. Its quite bordering on peaceful. Perimeter is alright but on weekends suffers from same thing as lenox. But it is curious and rather tiring how people use the word rapper. 99.8percent of these "rappers" would say anything do anything or even bother you.
