Clearview Mall in Metairie was having similar problems. I walked through there one Saturday night and feared for my life. Anyway, the store owners began complaining so they implemented a curfew. Now a child must be accompanied by an adult in order to enter the mall after 4:00 p.m. (Not sure on the ages.) There was an outcry among teenagers locally, but the people who actually have money to spend in the mall love it. That’s the only mall I’ll go to at night.
I went to clearview about 6 pm with my five year old grandson about 12 yeqrs ago and suddenly realized there were nothing but scary men with gold jewelry hamging around like gamgs. Then my grandson barreled off at top speed right into a gang of about ten of them, looked up and asked what was wrong with one’s teeth..they were gold. I was terrified but retrieved him and a guard took me to my car, never afain. When we moved to Baltimore back in the early seventies I went to. place called Mondawmin Mall not knowing what it was, escorted out by friendly cop who told me never to come back!
