And that's on the tame side! Right before we left Brookhaven my wife wanted to go to Lenox (solo) for something and I flat out refused. I think there were like 4 shootings within the prior 6 months.

It's a shame because that area used to be SO nice and now is just a total waste.

4 shootings in 6 months in area that sees what, a million people every 24 hours??? Damn, that is a LOT of shootings LOL....this is the irrational fear omnipresent in so many Americans they choose to miss out on things that they might otherwise enjoy but are too scared to let themselves...

Look, I'm as big an Atlanta defender as exists and choose to live a football field away from Buckhead between 2 MARTA stops.........and the area around Lenox/Phipps was a disaster for about 18 months right after COVID.

They've cleaned stuff up down there, but it took some time and some resources. There was a new shooting, stabbing, large scale fight at Lenox on the news almost weekly for a 5-6 month stretch during late 2020 and 2021, and that doesn't even touch on the hundreds of car break-ins that were occurring on a nightly basis. It was not good.
