There was a large, beautiful mall near me. What killed that mall was not Amazon. What killed that mall was placing a bus stop near one of the doors.
The next thing you know, the mall was a gathering place for every hoodlum within 20 miles.
A friend of mine was a police officer in that mall’s municipality. About a year before the mall closed, my friend warned me not to go to that mall on a Friday or a Saturday night. It was just too dangerous.
We have a mall outside Boston that is heading in the same direction. Every hood rat from Boston wanders the place.
What we are seeing are open shopping complexes. They have great stores and restaurants and are constantly crowded. It’s really convenient to park close to a particular store without roaming the entire mall..
thank you.
Teenage and young hoodlums are killing our local mall. A friend of mine was at the mall with his sixteen year old son to get something and they were walking out and three punks just intentionally ran into his son. This guy is easily 6’6 and over 300lbs and he grabbed the nearest one by the throat and put him up against the wall and asked him why he shouldn’t mash him into a grease spot along with his two lady friends.
The son was picking himself up while this was going down. The punk against the wall was about to loose consciousness and was apologizing along with the others begging the dad to let the turd go. Right as he passed out he released him and he hit the ground and the other two grabbed him and carried him off. The dads words to them, touch my son again or me and I’ll hunt you all down and you won’t walk away. Yes sir! Yes sir! Sorry again sir!
