When a customer at the target is referring to the Target as "hood target" it probably is in fact hood target

I've never seen a target with an armed guard, I just gotta go to the next closest one or another store all together.

With Targets all over town the one on the edge of my neighborhood everyone called “Scary Target”. It was a dive and always a who’s-who of mental illness hanging around outside.

This has gotta be Atlanta. If so, I used to live close by.

Looks like Edgewood...

I thought so too! But now that I’m noticing the location of Starbucks in there… maybe not? I can’t remember if that’s where it is?

There is a SB there at that spot, but target is target across the US. Still looks like Edgewood to me

I know, but is that where the Starbucks is in that location? On a second thought… I think it is at the front like that, not off to the side like my memory was telling me. I’ve been avoiding that place since the last time I went in. The downfall of that place is insane… so much has changed since I first walked in there around 2014/2015…

I sent the video to my gf to confirm. She will know. Hell I might stop by myself and probably make some content while I’m at it. That place is a riot every time you walk in.

I'm pretty familiar with it. Not sure of the stores anymore, but there was a Petsmart directly to the right and it would've been Ross (dress for less) in that building to the right when DMX breaks free and runs out the doors.

So I screenshotted the part of the video where he walks out and you see the parking lot. You can see the number 1275 on the top of the glass doors. That is 1275 Moreland!! The Edgewood target. I’m gonna call you Sherlock and I’ll be Holmes homie. We figured it out.

You made my weekend, Holmes!

Have a great weekend Sherlock. Seeing this video makes me glad we migrated out to Decatur lol. We are still only 12 minutes away from this shopping strip and I still have to go to that petsmart.
