Actually the Century 3 store is one that will be STAYING OPEN!

Honestly I used to go to Century 3 at least twice a month 5 years ago. At this point I'd be lucky to make one trip every 2 years. Why?

Because now I have kids. They are BY FAR the worst mall to take children to in the area. There's no indoor play area and if I recall they don't even have stroller rental. South Hills Villiage, Robinson, Monroeville, and the Pittsburgh Mills all have a free kids play area so the goobers can blow off some steam mid-trip (Robinson and Mills even have a play you can pay to leave your kids...)

Considering how packed the play areas are and how many rental strollers I see at the other Malls I can only imagine the amount of business this mall has lost just due to people with kids going to one of the other places.

Will the last store out please turn out the lights.....

So now the local news reports a carjacking at gunpoint in the parking lot. Your average suburbanite will now drive the extra miles to another mall, any other mall, after news of this kind.

I always thought the area around there,Pleasant Hills,etc.were nice,safe areas.

[Geeo]

There is crime in "nice" areas, too. On the news tonight: a series of robberies with people at home in Cranberry and an 11-year-old stealing a car in Washington County.

I remember when Century III used to be the mall to be at.

It's so depressing to go there now. It's awful.



Damn juggalos.

Why are you even showing an angry face like you're offended when you don't even know what a juggalo is?

From Wikipedia: A Juggalo (male or female) or Juggalette (more commonly used for a female) is a member of the fanbase of the Michigan hip hop group Insane Clown Posse

Umm....I'm frowning because #1, it is not a term that most of us are familiar with and #2, it sounds very condescending and like a slur.

And Insane Clown Posse? Who in the world is still on their bandwagon? Where these car-jackers known fans of ICP? So the connection would be....

As someone who has friends who are skinheads, punks and other various subculture monikers, I still give a because it sounds like a superficial insult.
