“Speaking of which, political correctness forbids us from talking about why Landover Mall went under”
Was it because they put in a public bus stop?
Well, it was more than a bus stop. The area around the mall went downhill, so the mall was very close to bad neighborhoods. Decent people avoided the mall, stores closed, a bad element was hanging around, etc.
I recall when the mall was still open, some black activist types, blamed the mall owner for.problems, due to not providing adequate security or recruiting better stores as tenants.
But what went unsaid, was why the mall needed so much security, or why higher end stores did not set up shop in that mall.
yes much like the busline in front of Beachwood Place in Ohio
