In Fairfax County there was Springfield Mall which was mostly abandoned. Then rebuilt -- and will fail again because the neighborhood demographics are the same.

And then there is Tysons Corners Mall. Used to be nice but ever since they put it on subway line, its been going downhill, as predicted.

This is in the “nice” parts of town, so it’s news. In other parts of town, this is just every day life.

I’ve often wondered when they write stories like this, how they determined that 50 individuals were all teens?

Their crystal ball tells them the age of all of these perps but mysteriously omits any description. How curious.

I never go to malls....when you're older and your kids are grown, there is no reason to shop/shop/shop....

and amazon is great....just returned a large duplicate present and it was so simple and easy....probably easier than doing an in store return...

"I would like to say to American whites: you got good deal on that cotton picking business, didn’t you?"

No.

What you racist dumb shits don't know is that there were more poor Whites picking cotton than there were Blacks.

Sears was the leading pioneer of mail=order shopping....
and they were very good with customer satisfaction....
anything that was not good or didn’t fit... they would pick up and refund on.....
so you could trust and rely on Sears mail order catalog.

in recent years, the firm was taken over by what appears to be a DBM operative... (death by management), whereby they suck up all the assets and toss the liabilities to outside creditors in bankruptcy court.
and their customer service went from very high to abysmal...
horrible in fact!

Amazon stepped in....using exactly the same kind of mail-order fulfillment model with the same (original Sears) kind of customer satisfaction policy

so that if you order (at least from amazon itself as seller) you can rely on amazon

all its leftist bs politics aside, they are running a good quality outfit....
they didn’t pioneer that business model but they have copied and implemented it very well

It is far enough from the crappy Wilmington neighborhoods that they don’t get much, if any riff raf there.


Well, there’s the problem, right there. Public transportation needs to be installed so the ferals can ride to the mall. Anything less is racist.

Here in northern NJ a better determinant of the type of mall is the access to mass transit coupled with proximity to a city. Malls out near interstates in almost rural areas can be OK, while any on bus lines near a city - or actually in a city - are no-go zones. Both would have places to eat for less than $10, though there might be small variations in the selection. The Short Hills Mall here was almost exclusive (included valet parking), and was relatively obscure until some savages killed a man during a carjacking over the holidays five years ago. The mall met the criterion for safe (probably safer than most), but one of the ferals used his mother’s car.

Malls now aren’t just being crushed by Amazon; they are contending with the “malls within a store”, Wal-Mart.

If you, your family, and friends were all poor and government dependent, then you spent years in school being taught that that was because the government all essentially people of any other race all have it in for you and have rigged life against you such that you have no hope of succeeding, then you might be drawn to a thuggish response as well.

Kushner just snookered Trump into backing Obama’s prison “reform” bill that will free many more such violent criminals.
