The problems at Roosevelt Field aren't about race. They are about lifestyle choices and the type of people that hang out at the mall. Gangstas combined with annoying spoiled LI teens is not a good combo.
Look at what happened Friday. There was some teeny bopper (Justin Bieber whoever the hell that is) doing an autograph session there. 3,000 teen girls lost it and started a small riot. People getting shoved...pushed to the ground...etc.
The police had to call it off and kick everyone out.
Great Mall.
I guess you don't remember Tiffany touring malls in the 80's.
Gangsters do not hang out at the mall. They are off doing illegal stuff somewhere. What you have at the mall are kids that dress in a style of cloths you don't like.
And when has the mall NOT been a place that teens hang out? Get over it, you are just getting old. Teens in groups annoy the hell out of me too, but that is no reason to act like it's the end of the world, or the end of the mall ( in this case Roosevelt Field)
It's pretty bad...yeah. A lot of the stores are closing or downsizing. Saturday in Nine West there was a mouse running wild in the store. So lovely & just what I needed during shoe shopping.
This is actually untrue. Stores that closed went bankrupt most of the time. There are a bunch of new stores and a lot of expansion (Forever 21, Victoria's Secret, Apple). The shopping center is becoming much better in terms of stores in that they are going more high end and are becoming more unique (see stores like Sabon, Carol's Daughter) where they are NYC offshoots, LI spots (La Bottega, Matty's Toy Stop), or new even the America (Radley London). Overall, I think the place is much better.
The clientele on the other hand...they need to stop running buses to the mall.
Maybe that's just on Long Island, I highly believe the people who you think are thugs really aren't, I swear people are prepared to run based on how someone dresses. Try that somewhere else and see what happens.
I love Roosevelt Field.
Whether they are or they aren't I don't want to see it. If you can't pay for anything..get out. If you have to use drug money or somebodies stolen purse...l-l-l-l-ock 'em up!

yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of all these rampaging teens and parents that ruin my mall experience every time a pop star decides to visit. Oh wait, now that I think about it, this almost never happens and it isn't indicative of anything. Let's just move on.

Teens have been hanging around in malls since they 1st opened. Get over it.
I hung out at the mall 7 times as a teenager. Various malls.
Yes, I can count the amount of times.
After the first time I found out it wasn't for me.
Just not my thing.
Then again, I am socially challenged.

Tiffany wasnt "big" when she was doing the mall circuits. When she became famous, she stopped the malls.
the thing that drew all the teens to the mall was the internet and twitter with justin.
