12 things to know about Lenox Square mall

As posted earlier, Lenox Square turns 50 this week.


The Atlanta Journal-Constitution



1. Lenox Square says up to 
40 percent of its visitors are tourists. Robin Suggs, Lenox’s general manager, said a lot of Brazilians come to the mall during layovers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Several morning walking clubs also meet at Lenox.
2. Three original statues were commissioned for the opening of Lenox Square. Only one remains — “Traveling Musicians,” which is near Peachtree Road and the Crate & Barrel entrance. The statue was made of cast stone by artist Elbert Weinberg. The donkey, dog, cat and rooster are from a Brothers Grimm tale of the same name in which the animals scare a robber from a cabin. Lenox officials don’t know what happened to the other two statues.

#1. It is NOT Lenox Square MALL. It's LENOX SQUARE.
#2. Lenox Square is not in Buckhead. It's at Lenox. Native Atlantans will tell you that you're not in Buckhead unless you're south of Piedmont Rd. and north of St. Philip's Cathedral. South of St. Philip's is Peachtree Battle. Not everything can be in Buckhead, y'all.
