I would give 5 star, but....
by Mel on 4/23/24Universoul Circus - Atlanta - Old Turner Field Grey Lot - AtlantaI have been going to the Universal Soul Circus for over 30 years. I have taken my children and grandchildren, and it was one of the class trips I approved for the teachers when I was principal. I started going in Maryland and have been in Georgia since 2004. This year, I went twice. Once, when the circus was at Gwinnett Mall, and this past Saturday, when the circus was in Atlanta, and closer access for Black people. The problem was the size of Universal Soul Circus's popcorn for each location. Gwinnett Mall had a box of approximately 20 oz and cost $10. The Atlanta location was also $10, but a much smaller box of about 10 oz. I also purchased a soda when I entered, which was listed for $4. However, an agent for the Circus sold a soda to a couple seated in front of me for $5. It is so hard to live in this world where Blacks historically are given less and pay more. But it is hard when some of us make it and learn to take advantage of a particular group of people. Universal Soul Circus is successful because of the same people they take advantage of. I have been on this earth for 72 years and live to see the accomplishments I know we process. I am saddened to see when we learn to step on the backs of our own to get ahead. Everyone should be treated and given the same service regardless of where the circus performs. The performers were great, but the concession needs a lot of work.
