A couple of years ago, I was working at Sally Beauty Supply in Banks Crossing, just south of the Pavilion, across from Bank of America and beside the older Kroger. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but "Riverdale" has creeped it's way there as well. I dealt with a lot of that "ghetto" woman attitude and left after just a few months.. but that was really because that place had a weird sort of management. Back to what i was saying- I was scared everytime I closed up and had to go to my car.. I probably didn't have to be since there's a 24 hour grocery store beside me, but i was anyway.
And while working, I got nasty comments (sexual harrassment) from people who obviously were part of the "ghetto" community..

EEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!! I really hope public transportation is NEVER brought into Fayetteville!! All of us will have to keep moving south!

There is no where south of here to fall back to, the counties below us are struggling just to provide the basic services that most of us take for granted, even if the resulting flight of people to these counties would overwelm the local towns and flood the school districts of these counties. We must hold the ranks here and not give up without a fight. Do you really want to live in Manchester or Woodbury how far out do you want to go, what do you want to drive to Columbus to go to the mall, and guess what they have the same problems that we do.. Hold the ranks stand up and fight, you will have plenty of time to rest when you are dead anyway...GOD BLESS...

I actually went to Columbus with my fiancee last year and was disgusted there as well, but Phenix City, AL (right beside Columbus) impressed me.

If I fight, I will be killed, for the ghetto Riverdalians are equipped with handguns and switchblades. The most I can get is a pocketknife and pepperspray. Then how will I be able to care for my baby?

I wish this country could be perfect and everyone had morals and a job... definitely a job..

Columbus is the equivalent of Riverdale and Phenix City is Fayetteville, its the same war differnt lattitude and longitude, oh and do yourself a favor get a carry permit, and arm yourself todays firearms are as easy to operate as a can of pepper spray and can reach out a lot farther. A pocketknife will come up short against an UZI, and pepperspray is a last resort, as a rule of thumb, an assailants height should dictate the mininum distance said assailiant sould get to you before you pop em and drop em so to say, good luck on your future endeavors...GOD BLESS..

Gets up in the morning and convinces itself that today it would be a good idea to risk 10 years in jail for a pair of shoes?

I was going to ask, "How stupid can they be?" but there doesn't seem to be a bottom does there?

Instead of stealing the shoes, to get the money they should have hocked the computer their family members will use when they get arrested to blog about how they are really good kids and we shouldn't write bout them 'cause we don't know them.

When the judge sentences them, before they leave the courtroom, I hope he tells them, "Oh, by the way, here's your sign."

I feel redneck to know that saying.. and i've been denying it all of these years....HA!

because it beats WORKING for a living, and the pavilion is still an easy target for sewer rats.
