The Avenues Mall

Wow...Jacksonville is nothing except a beach town. We have 8 Abercrombies in Atlanta alone. The only thing good about jacksonville is there is no traffic and small freeways, its nice to get out of the city and go there to the beach though.

Whats the population in ATL and why would Jax need that many stores?

Wow .. 8 Abercrombies...verily a sign that Atlanta is a crossroads of trans-global cultural interaction. I hear that February's Milan Fashion week is being relocated to north georgia. New York Shangai Dubai Singapore.... Atlanta??!!!   Perhaps you are ignorant to how the rest of the world perceives Atlanta; or would perceive it, were they aware of its existence.

Out of curiosity, why are you here?

I lived in ATL for 8 yrs,, its not all that. You spend most of your time in traffic and in more traffic it can be a nightmare. Comparing Jax to ATL doesnt make sense now that says something.

Ok, we have 1.3 million people, spread over a 5 county metro area, with more than half living within the principal city.

Atlanta has 5.5 million people, spread over a 20 county metro area. Only about 10 % of the population lives within the principal city. Those statistics themselves say quite a bit.

How many A&F stores doesn't show in any way, shape, or form of how cosmopolitan Atlanta and vicinity are. Yes, Atlanta is a int'l city of business, and nothing more. Atlanta has yet to move up in the world of premiere cities, and is far away from that.

Of the top 10 metros in the U.S., it is the largest that has no true mass transit to the suburbs, and having MARTA going only to De Kalb County doesn't mean anything.

Anyways, before this goes too far OT, you need to start another topic about the ATL vs JAX crap, and not starting a mini- flame war in this thread.

[Keith-N-Jax]

Hmmm I think MARTA does go beyond Dekab county anyway this thread is not about ATL vs Jax.

Can anyone think of cultural experiences outside of retail?

Can anyone think of cultural experiences outside of retail?

Museums, premiere dining and retail (A&F is not), extensive mass transit system are just a few that come to mind.

Anyways, back to the Avenues Mall.

ok, yea traffic sucks, but other than that I love it, i guess its a city for young people.

Wow ur a freak...who cares!! We were just drinking and bored but marta does go into fulton and clayton, get ur shit straight. And i never said it did matter about the abercrombie stores? and ATL is very much a city with actual buildings and shit not like 3 buildings downtown, have ya ever been?

A couple of things I am thinking:

1.  Let's keep the forum a bit on the classy side and refrain from using profanities unless it is absolutely necessary to arrive at your point. 

2.  Let's get off the Atlanta subject.  It has nothing to do with the Avenues mall. Furthermore, lets get of the A&F subject as well.  It's nothing more than a teenage/ college clothing store.  Would anyone be making a such a fuss if Baby Gap were to close?
