Global Forum Shopping Center had the potential to be a 5 star shopping center, but right now, it's…read morelooking more like a 1 or 2 star shopping center. Blame the 2008-2012 global economic recession. I remember when I first visited Bakery Cafe Maum in 2008 and thought this plaza was going to be the next great thing on Buford Highway. It was big, new, and clean. It had fancy European architecture. Tall buildings, wide sidewalks, nice stuff. Fast-forward 4 years and the entire development looks like a ghost town. All of the shops are gutted and empty. All of the storefront signs have been uninstalled. You can see weathered outlines of where the signs used to be. Bakery Cafe Maum closed, the mobile dealer closed, the boutique closed, Mi Rak Korean Restaurant closed. The only things still open are Spring Hall (an event space), Karaoke Melody 2 (best karaoke in town), Subway, and a Mexican guy selling popsicles and ice cream out of his cart in the back (and I wonder if he's even technically allowed to be there). I drove through the parking lot on Wednesday and there is a big sign that hangs above one of the central storefronts on property. The sign simply reads: "FORECLOSURE HELP" Does this mean they're offering foreclosure assistance or are *they* the ones in foreclosure and are asking for help? I'm guessing the latter. While it's technically not a part of Global Forum, there is a townhome community next door that is partially developed. The townhomes are designed in the same style of architecture as the shopping center. It looks like this residential development has gone under too. The entire community looks deserted and grass and weeds are growing all over the place, including through cracks on the sidewalk. It looks like the houses were built and then never sold. You can also see sidestreets where plots of land were being prepared for new home builds, but construction was halted. This neighborhood is a perfect example of the housing crash. Global Forum actually reminds me of two similar shopping centers in Duluth: (1) on the southern end of Satellite Blvd. where I Luv Pho #2 is located and (2) on North Berkeley Lake Rd. where Well Bean Tofu is located. I hope these places don't suffer a similar fate. Well, I love Karaoke Melody 2, so I hope it survives and hopefully Global Forum will make a comeback. I'm rooting for them!

I moved to Atlanta in 2015, and Toco Hills Shopping Center was one of the more ignored shopping…read morecenters in the area. First of all it was Toco Hills (Where is THAT?), and it was basically a lot of dead space, a huge, mostly pot-hole riddled parking lot, and not-so-well-known businesses. According to Edens Property, the management company that owns both Toco Hills Shopping Center and its adjacent neighboring property Toco Hills Promenade, Toco Hills Shopping Center encompasses both Salaryman and Toco Giant Package Store, all of the stores in the row from Iron Age and north to Sushi Matsuya, and all of the stores in the row of businesses from UPS Store to Frugal Kitchens, and the two empty stores past Frugal Kitchens. This is a very confusing set up, because it isn't visually obvious that there are three different shopping centers, but looks like only one. Anyway, Toco Hills Shopping Center had fallen into sad disrepair years ago, with mostly discount businesses taking up the retail spaces, if there were even existing businesses. At that time there were many empty stores. Thankfully, there have been positive transformations in the shopping center over the past six years, resulting in it becoming a popular destination for shopping, restaurants and services. The parking lot has been redone, and all of the retail areas received a much needed makeover. In short, the entire Toco Hills Shopping Center look so much better now, so much more welcoming, and is now a lot busier. In addition, the overall quality of the businesses appears to have motivated more people to shop, dine and receive services So far, the shops that I've gone to in Toco Hills Shopping Center are Iron Age Korean Steak House, Spiller Park Coffee and Sushi Matsuya, having OK to great experiences. I will definitely return to experience more businesses here when I'm back in the area.

This shopping center is anchored by a Publix, but I know it best for the Vietnamese restaurant Pho Dai Viet, which opened here in 2018. It's also home to an Atlanta Ballet school (the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education). This shopping center is dense and consistently busy. The parking lot can feel crowded during peak times, but that's typical for being "in the city." Funny enough, the Chick-fil-A just up the road, despite having its own dedicated and separately paved parking lot, is technically considered part of this shopping center.

Town Brookhaven is a large mixed-use development that opened in Brookhaven, between Buckhead and…read moreBuford Highway, circa 2010. You can think of it as Brookhaven's version of Atlantic Station or Avalon. It's got shops, restaurants, bars, a grocery store (Publix), department store (Marshalls), movie theater (CineBistro), and homes. It's a self-contained community inside the perimeter (ITP). I've been to Town Brookhaven several times over the years to visit businesses like Bua (Thai and sushi), Newk's Eatery, Noche (tapas, now closed), the Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub, and Yogurtland. I've had a friend who lived at the Windsor at Brookhaven (apartments). These days, I mainly visit Town Brookhaven to go to Costco (opened October 28, 2010). At the time of writing this review, Town Brookhaven's Costco is one of only two Costco warehouses located in Atlanta ITP. The Costco at Cumberland Mall is practically located on the perimeter. Both have gas stations and are good places to fill up due to relatively cheap prices for Top Tier fuel. In general, I think this development is fine. The property is clean. It's huge at 600,000 square feet. The design is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The buildings look modern. There are wide sidewalks, airy patios, nice landscaping, stately brick roads, and traffic circles. There's deck parking and surface level parking. This is a popular place with lots of tenants so parking may be hard to come by during peak periods. Ultimately, I've never had an issue finding parking here. Outside of perhaps Costco, I'm not sure Town Brookhaven has any shops, restaurants, or other businesses that really set it apart from other shopping centers, malls, or mixed-use developments or make it a real destination in metro Atlanta. However, if you live or work in the neighborhood or surrounding area, it's certainly nice to have all these amenities close by.

"Honey, would you mind if we run an errand after brunch?"…read more Guys, if your significant other asks you this question, the answer is, "I don't know. I've got some things to get done."

Groggy and content, fat and happy as that bacon and goat cheese omelet made you, don't fall into this Sunday trap. Men of Atlanta, heed my warning lest you be dragged to.....BUCKHEAD CROSSING. Buckhead Crossing is female cat nip. Let me run down the stores: Sally's Beauty Supplies, Michael's, Homegoods, Marshall's, Ross, Hancock Freakin' Fabric, my breasts grew with each new store I was dragged to. Yeah, there's a Bennie's Shoes there, but ever since they crossed Sidney Marcus, even THAT place has chicked up. The women, the womyn, love it. I watched them dart back and forth while the eyes of we hapless husbands and boyfriends would occasionally meet, a moment of understanding and pain before we returned to our broken, vacant, thousand yard stare. The wife cooed over some, what is that? A chicken-shaped tea pot? WTF? And wait, we have to go to Michael's to get yarn? How come we can't just get them at Hancock Fabrics? They don't sell YARN? What do you mean "yarn's not a fabric." They sell fucking CHAIRS. You can't tell me that's a fabric. I may be a guy, but I'm not an idiot! Oh, but you are, dear sir, you are. At Michael's, my wife pointed out an elderly couple. The husband had picked out and was in the process of buying $60 of plastic autumn leaves. My wife expounded, "See that? That guy actually helped his wife pick those leaves out!" "Honey, his wife had 50 years to break him." OW! At least turn your wedding ring around before you punch me! One thing, though. If you're a single guy, I'd be remiss in pointing out what prime territory Buckhead Crossing is. In Michael's alone, you find sorority girls shopping for things to make posters with, MILFs buying styofoam balls for their kids' science fair solar system project, overly romanticized nascent cat ladies purchasing scrapbook materials. It's all there and with nary an alpha male in sight. Just create a believable reason for why a single heterosexual male would be found trolling the aisles (the picture frames are always good as is the line of questioning, "Excuse me, can I ask you something? Do you think my mom/sister/niece would like this?" Oh, and guys? You're WELCOME.) Alas I am no longer single, so Buckhead Crossing is of limited utility to me. I may buy a shirt once in a while from Marshall's, but that's a 15 minute project tops and not a 3 hour expedition. If you're ballsy enough, I recommend either a trip up Piedmont Road to visit Oxford Comics or a Sidney Marcus Best Buy run as revenge. ("Babe, while we're out, I've got to pick something up too.") Keep in mind, as satisfying as this may be at the time, do at your own peril, for hell hath no fury than a woman being forced to wait in a comic book shop. Buckhead Crossing--four stars if you're a woman. If you're a guy? Good luck.

Buckhead Crossing has some good stuff, some bad stuff, and some make you half-mad stuff…read more The good - Michaels - for all your craftacular adventures! Hancock Fabrics - for everything they don't carry at Michaels. HomeGoods - the sanctuary of everything you didn't realize you don't need. Office Depot! Bank of America! Payless! Whee!!!! The bad - a horrible little camera thing set up by the police department (maybe?) in the parking lot that makes your car's radar detector buzz like an overcharged ... uh... family board... The going-half-mad - The Ross and Marshall's are pretty hit-n-miss as far as selection goes lately. Fatburger - it's OK, but I wouldn't say it's great. (see my other review on that!) and I'm pretty sure there's an eye clinic, but I haven't checked that one out first hand... Overall, you're likely to find what you need somewhere near here!

What I love about Dollar Tree is everything actually does cost a dollar. I haven't been to a Dollar…read moreTree in a few years, so I was glad to be able to stop into one today. Conveniently located in the North DeKalb Mall next to the AMC theater, this was a good place for my other half and I to grab a few things before heading back to our motel. The staff were all friendly and there was lots of great finds. Seems like a great place to stop for holiday decorations, from what I saw today and what I've heard - lots of great products out for Easter and spring time right now. Parking can be a bit of a challenge as someone else mentioned, since it's right next to the movie theater, but it's doable. Looking back at old reviews on here, it seems that this was located in a different area of the mall before. That totally makes sense, because Google Maps had said we arrived at the store, but really we had to go around the corner to find it lol. So just remember it's right next to the movies if you're trying to locate it for the first time like us. I'd stop in again if I'm in the area. Also, if you're looking for something cold and refreshing to drink on the way out - besides water or the usual sugary drinks - I highly recommend the Diet Lipton Citrus Green Tea. It tasted so good for a diet tea, almost like real sugar. The Powerade Berry Cherry Power Water was also really great and sugar free too.

This was my second time visiting this location. The first time was terrible, and I always try to give retail stores another shot before I write a negative review. This time was no better, and possibly worse. Items on the shelves were disorganized, picked over, and out of stock, and yet, boxes and boxes filled each aisle to the point where you couldn't see the shelves behind them. Literally just crap everywhere. Even in the checkout lane, one entire conveyor belt was full of items that appeared as though they just stay there permanently. I just can't understand how that can be okay, and also not some kind of fire code violation to block the aisles like that. It's such a shame too because I think the stuff itself is great quality for only being $1.25... oh yeah, that's another thing... no longer a dollar. The search continues for better stores.
