[edit] Springfield Mall

Removed comment about teenagers having few other places to congregate than Springfield Mall. It is not NPOV as well as being comically untrue.—BozoTheScary 2005 sometime

In recent years, however, the establishment has fallen into severe disrepair and has experienced rashes of gang violence and robbery. Is this true? I haven't been to Springfield Mall myself for over a year, but "severe disrepair" seems like hyperbole. Can anyone attest to this? Danspalding 00:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, there were two incidents of gang violence in the latter half of 2005. [1] That's not a rash to me, nor does "severe disrepair" seem accurate. I'll amend and see if it gets reverted.—BozoTheScary 05:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

"nor does 'severe disrepair' seem accurate": Perhaps not, but let's face it, the place is a dump. My wife and I refuse to go there anymore! - Springfield resident

although the mall could certainly be in better shape, there was more "gang" activity there a decade ago than now. the difficulty is these statements are opinions. if things like police reports ,violation of building codes, or even a newspaper article is cited, that's something different.Nedtuttle 00:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
