One of the first malls in the Area was Lafayette Plaza. It only now exists on postcards.

Lafayette Plaza

It was a nice and very modern mall when it first opened. A housing project opened nearby and soon the mall was deserted. The parking garage was the scene of many a violent robbery, rape, shooting and the local papers always provided a very good description of the car.

In a last ditch effort, the mall owners beefed up security, but this proved to be too little, too late. A couple of shootings and it was over.

So now this same crowd has discovered the Trumbull mall and it too has become a very unpleasant place to shop due to the crowds of ill-mannered, pushy ghetto scum.

Not only do you need to put up with them inside the mall, but you must hope that they do not shoot, rape, or rob you in the parking lot.

As you can see by simply reading this article, they are out of control.

Trumbull Shopping Park (Westfield) used to be a VERY nice and upscale place to shop.

Not any more.

Wonder if Lafayette Park was a Simon mall? Simon is a very rich mall builder and a huge donor to Obama and all things liberal.
