I made my Girlfriend quit her job there 3 weeks after dating her. After i found out she had to walk to her car at night alone(i got tired of driving there and meeting her every night). Keep in mind most of the time it was after 11:00pm.And they aare not allowed to park withen the first 30 spaces of the building.

[Guest canynracer]

yep...that would be the hickory hood mall

Im so proud.............................................................................................................................

[SpacemanSpiff]

I guess that's one mall that I will not be visiting.

[Guest eyebedam]

They are also posted correctly. Atleast on the food court entrance but it is the very bottom right hand corner & if you arent looking for it you will miss it. The few times I go to that hell hole I miss it.

[Guest abailey362]

i used to live down the street....it sucks. as with most malls the department stores with their own entrances choose or forget to post their entrances. as far as I'm concerned those stores are the only way to enter any malls in tennessee

[Guest nraforlife]

At one time, if I remember the area correctly, this was a semi decent area. Oh well, they breed and to think the O wants to redistribute wealth to these poor poor deprived folks

I'll be waiting for a site dedicated to GhettoGate over in Madison.

That one is in Nashville or Antioch, we have our own Hickory Hood Mall, ie Hickory Hill.

I'm starting to see a pattern with areas or retail areas that start with "hickory".

[Guest Astra900]

It's nothing but a bunch of.....Yeah, that's right, but I won't say it. If Dawn of the Dead happens, that won't be the mall I hold up in.

Rivergate ain't much better.

When I was a kid it was a nice place to go.

was.

[Guest eyebedam]

It used to be a semi nice area but our wonderful gov decided it would make the apts in the area section 8 living & summplment a brothas rent. Since then almost all the anchor stores have left. Crime has risen by over 300% & they cant seem to figure out why.

You're right, the area used to be fairly nice. The same could have been said for the Hermitage and Madison areas.

When I moved to the Nashville area (about 14 years ago), Hermitage and Madison were nothing like they are today. This was until the wonderful City of Nashville came up with this bright idea to mix the classes.

The city officials thought it would somehow be "beneficial to the children" if they took children out of the inner-city ghettos and projects, so they could be positively influenced by the suburban middle-class. Of course, this didn't work out quite like they had planned. This giant brain fart did little more than prove that you can take them out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of them.

The City of Nashville officials kicked everyone out of several sets of projects near the downtown Nashville area, which left these folks with few options to choose from when deciding where to move. Of course they couldn't afford to move into the Brentwood, Franklin and Hendersonville areas, so they had little choice but to move into areas like Hermitage, Madison and Antioch. These were some of the only areas they could afford while still mooching off the loving taxpayers. And the rest is history.

It didn't take long for these folks to turn once pleasant areas into the wastelands they once inhabited. Why in the world these officials didn't come up with this brilliant idea to cage them in with these now rising 20' concrete/brick walls in the first place, I'll never know.

Same place just a different city. Some church is buying it and going to redo it, a community retail, outreach place.

[Im Neero]

The church with the statue of liberty out front bought the Hickory Hill Mall. Who knows what they'll do with it.

All this talk of terrible malls is making me reminisce about the Mall of Murder.

[poak]

Why do I shop on the internet?

Oh yeah, THAT'S why...

Hickory Hollow is swiftly becoming one of the few places where I would prefer to open carry. And by that I mean my SBR slung across my chest and my 1911 clearly visible on my hip.

It was. My parents used to bring us down to Nashville in the 80's for shopping trips. We'd visit Hickory Hollow and then Rivergate. Neither place left me feeling unsafe back then.

When I moved to Nashville in 1997, I made the mistake most people make. I moved to Antioch and lived in an apartment. My lease couldn't have been up fast enough. Our building was OK but that's because we had two Metro PD officers who lived in it and who parked their cruisers outside. All of the other buildings around us had "issues".

The area has gone to complete and utter crap since then and I only go there now during daylight hours and refuse to go anywhere near it during the Christmas holidays.

But... but... these are just hard working people trying to make it in this world!

[molonlabetn]

It's sad... Hickory Hollow was a nice place to shop 10 years ago.

What's even sadder is that they are still trying to salvage 100 Oaks Mall... an even more deplorable hell-hole.

[creeky]

It's amazing how quickly an area can begin to fall to pieces. You can almost watch as it dissolves.

[musicman]

I'm from Miami... been watching nice places go to crap all my life.

Thank God you technically live in LaVergne. We don't need that sort of bad karma down here in Smyrna.

[Angus]

Thank God we moved out of Antioch. We rented a duplex when we first came to Nashville in 1996, found out it was nothing but white trash. I hated leaving my wife home alone, we were only 2 miles from that crappy old mall. Back then the mall was ok, but the neighborhood was starting to go down hill quick.
