Country Club Plaza = Bannister Mall part 2?
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - More than 100 teens converged on the Country Club Plaza Saturday night and created a ruckus for patrons and a lot of work for Kansas City police officers.
Read more: http://www.kshb.com/dpp/news/local_n...#ixzz2tczs9I7u Stories like those about the plaza have been rolling in for the last year or longer. At one point there was a shooting and they have put a curfew in place I remember years ago bannister mall area was thriving. Hypermart and all the other surrounding stores were very popular and always busy. Crime slowly strangled the area and people chose to go elsewhere. The whole place turned into a ghost town. Obviously Cerner is building there now but the question I pose is simple There are a lot of options other than the plaza around KC so... Will the Plaza die the same way the Bannister area did? |

I don't have a problem with the kids. Kids will do what you let them do. The city simply needs to put a curfew on anyone under 18 that is not accompanied by their parent or guardian. If not, your ass needs to be out of there by 8PM or you will be arrested. Why is that so hard?

Parents shouldn't let their kids just roam around if they don't have business down there. Here's how that conversation would have gone in my household:
"Dad, can you take me down to the plaza and drop me off?" "What are you going down there for? You don't have enough money to eat anywhere down there, and you aren't shopping at any stores. No." And even if I would have had a friend who drove, he still wouldn't want me going down there if I didn't have business down there. Parents need to be parents. I don't care about the color of your skin. Parents are failing. I work in the area quite a bit. There are some nice areas surrounding the plaza. some real shitty ones aren't that far away, but I don't think the yuppies in the area will allow the plaza to become a victim of "Roving Teen Mobs."

I'm not sure what this means. Do you mean there is a movie theater down there, and they might be down there to see a movie? Then what are they doing roaming the streets if they are there to see a movie? Again, my parents would have never gone for that. If they took me to see a movie, they were waiting for me when it got out. There was a pizza hut next to the theater here in town that I worked at in high school. On Friday and Saturday nights, we'd have a hoard of them in front of our doors and it blocked customer traffic. This issue isn't exclusive to the plaza. Also, I'd have no problem with them being down there if they were respectful to others. They are blocking traffic, starting fights, and even firing shots. They are being a menace.

I didn't even here of the plaza until I was out of high school. And when I did it was more of an adult type place that you go for dates and shopping. Not just some place to hang around and loiter.

I actually do admire the mobs on some level. When the private sector couldn't care less if you exist and your city government & school system can never get it together, why not make yourself heard in the most symbolic place in the city to do so.

Once those troubled yutes start ruining a place its hard to stop it until it is ruined and they find another place to ruin. Its one of those cyclicle things. A troubled yute cyclical process of destruction.
