(Update: Please read Ford City’s statement at the end of this opinion piece.)
Ford City Mall, you owe us all an explanation.
The people of the Southwest Side (as well as nearby suburbs) want to know what exactly happened at your shopping center on Saturday, February 23, and why.

Now many miles of chainlink would it take to contain this mess? And I’m not talking about the mall, but the city.
From that link...
Update: At about 9:00 p.m. tonight, Ford City posted this on its Facebook page:
“Thank you to all the Mindless Behavior fans who attended today’s meet & greet. Totally unrelated to today’s event, a group of unruly teens entered the mall and caused a disturbance. On the recommendation of the Chicago Police Department the mall was closed for the safety of the shoppers and tenants. The mall will re-open at 11 a.m. tomorrow.”

“Totally unrelated”?????
Who the bleep are they kidding? This was as predictable as the sun rising in the east.
Hoo boy.
Lived in that area(conservative carried Reagan, Republican Alderman state senator state reps) for 40 years.Owned and worked for a couple of weeklys in that area working with civic and veterans groups among other sources but after 15 years lost contact because many folks I knew have since passed on.
I’m happy that you found a link to a neighborhood news website in that area. This one seems to have a solid connection with neighborhood watch groups working with 8th district.
