Independence Center brawl (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=335929)

I heard over the latest shooting, Chick fil a also closed early and will look into relocating.

That is a cash cow that could be leaving. Shit, I bet a small portion of mall traffic is from there. Practically an anchor tenet.

Agreed. Chick Fil A doesn’t play around. They typically only open stores in affluent and low crime areas.

Yeah. School can be remarkably effective, and is IMO critical for social development.

But it doesn’t work without support from home.

Wait, do yo mean Merry Go Round like the thing with the horses that goes around in circles? Or do you mean the clothing store that was there in the 80s?

An old-fashioned ride with horses and other animals.

They should all be charged with murder for spreading the Coronaidz.

The Police are always parked in the lot. They have been on the scene and made arrests. Not sure how it is their fault.

Mall Management- yes, they need to step it up.

I never said it was "their" fault. What I said was there needs to be more cooperation between mall management and the police there. I really don't know how they are supposed to necessarily top these things from happening, but if they don't figure some out - customers WILL eventually head to other stores.

The real deal with horses going up and down in circles on a turntable.

Exactly, the Center has already been struggling. Sears and Applebees were two of the biggest ones that closed recently.

That area has a large Police presence- it is a dumb idea to start trouble there unless you want to get caught.

The engineering firm I worked for laid out did design and construction staking of Independence Center. The original owners of that mall saw the end nearing. They watched Banister Mall self destruct along with the popularity of strip malls with drive up parking access to the building fronts. When That strip mall just to their east started construction they sold. The new owners out of the area with no history in this area did a remodel of the interior. They lost some tenants and gained some and promised the food court and Merry Go Round would remain. They raised the lease and lost many retailers and the bad stuff came. Cell phone centers and shitty cheap cosmetic jewelry stores. It attracted trouble just like old Bannister mall its dead they just don't know it yet.

Arrested for toy guns this time

Indian springs was crap when I lived there and taught school close to it.
