Another Obama Voter meeting? Like the one at the Wal-Mart in New York on Black Friday.
Mayfair is awful! Used to be a nice mall with great stores. Now, I get the whimwhams every time I go. Thugs everywhere.
There are two big problems at Mayfair.
First one is the recently-added movie Marcus movie theater. It has attracted the gangbanger type of crowd, as well as a ton of black teens that are powder kegs waiting for someone to piss them off and prove what tough sh1ts they are. They mill around after movies, and words get exchanged and this crap happens.
Second is the bus route that buses most of these people here.
It is an urban black youth problem. Everyone knows it. Nobody has balls enough to say it publicly. They are busing Milwaukee’s troubled kids to Mayfair and this stuff happens.
They need to get rid of the movie theater. That will stop many of these people from coming to the mall in the first place, as they don’t come there to actually SHOP.
Second, they need to get rid of the bus routes to Mayfair. They can drop people off nearby, a few blocks away, but it will be inconvenient enough for gangbangers who don’t want to walk that far to go to a place that doesn’t have anything for them to do - as the theater will be gone.
Hey, they interviewed Harry from Third Rock from the Sun!
Whoa!
Dig the grandma reporter!
Some tough police force up there in Milwaukee.
When I was young, we didn't.

Born & raised in Milwaukee. Lived years ago near Mayfair. At that time (the 80’s) it was the city’s premier mall. Haven’t been back in many years; hard to imagine that people are afraid to go there. But then again, I can remember when Northridge was the place to go (Actually, I can remember when it was a cornfield). Once was a very nice area. Can’t believe the mall is now boarded up.
I also remember Capital Court, Milwaukee’s first mall. For years it was a high class place to shop, back in the 60’s. But slowly it went downhill along with the neighborhood. If I’m not mistaken it was razed years ago.
My family now lives on the south side, and when I’m back in town we shop at Southridge, which is still quite a nice area to shop.
I bet if they didn’t provide bus stops most of these security issues would fade away.
