I badly needed some things so I looked for the closest Mall from my hotel and called an Uber. Lennox Mall popped only up because my iPhone and I had some disharmonies on that trip and it told me to go to an Apple store. So I cane from West End Mall (without leaving the car there) to Lennox. Imagine you have just been offered the jump seat in a Southwest Plane Boeing 737 MAX and now you get Emirates first Class in an Airbus A 380. An excellent Mall with ‘the’ brands and fantastic staff no matter what shop you enter. Luckily my time was limited. Otherwise I would have been broke that same night. Because even for a normal Swiss guy this place is very high price. So I still needed to buy a second luggage (at Macy’s BACKSTAGE DOWNSTAIRS!!!) for my trip back home. The facts are: The good brands are there, it is really busy but not packed and the clients are mostly classy. So it is nowadays an exceptional Mall in many ways. But I have some complaints: I don’t get real Denim Jeans anymore at G-Star because they wanna express sustainability. Okay, there I also get my purchase in a paper bag. But why you just don’t stop producing jeans that are no jeans anymore? And what Mall is this where one shop does, the other doesn’t? What as a European I often and there in particular have missed are larger areas where people could sit and talk and ENJOY food and/or company. It is an American degeneration of culture that the check is brought to you even before you have properly finished. And unfortunately I had the same feeling like at Hartfield Maynard Airport, the domestic terminal: It looks first very nice, but when you take a second look just too many things don’t fit. It is showing the money but missing the soul. You can buy many expensive things but you ain’t style. So you can as well built many gorgeous terrific buildings of marble, glass and steel but without a soul, it will be soon overcome by the next super Mall. Lets only hope that that fabulous staff I had the pleasure to be served by from Papyrus to Macy’s and G-Star will the. Move with...

Lenox Square was the work of Ed Noble, a former developer from Kansas City, Missouri, whose company J. Noble Properties, acquired the site in 1956. Groundbreaking for the shopping center occurred in July 1957, and it was completed on June 29, 1958. The public opening ceremony for Lenox Square was held on August 3, 1959. The three-level mall -Mall, Plaza and Market featured 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) of retail space. It was anchored by Rich's, Davison's, and a Colonial Stores supermarket. There were 52 original tenants, including a bowling alley, indoor golf driving range, and a Kresge five and dime store. The Mall Level concourse featured several statues depicting Uncle Remus characters, such as Br'er Fox, Br'er Frog and the Tar Baby. A movie theater opened on the Market Level in June 1963. Within its first few years Lenox Square would be a part of several major events in the city. It is the starting point in the annual Peachtree Road Race, one of the largest 10 kilometer races in the world. Davison's, owned by Macy's since 1924, was rebranded as Macy's in 1986. In 2000, the celebration of the Rich's Great Tree moved to the flagship store from Underground Atlanta, after having been held downtown for decades. In 1991, Rich's relocated their flagship store to Lenox Square from downtown Atlanta. In 2003, Federated Department Stores began integrating the Macy's name with their other regional department store brands, including Rich's. Following the news, the Lenox Macy's location closed and the building (along with the location at Perimeter Mall) was renovated extensively to house the first Bloomingdale's in the South, which opened in October 2003. In 2005, Federated Department Stores dropped the regional names of all of their department stores. The former Rich's-Macy's location at Lenox Square became the flagship of Macy's Central until all of the company's divisions had...
