I used to live in Massapequa a long time ago (over 10 years) and that mall was my mainstay for shopping!

It's THAT BAD now or are you exaggerating?

LOL! Makes my new local mall look good ... they're adding new stores all the time ... the latest is Kohl's!

TY for that moment of schadenfreude!

it's not the Green Acres Mall but it isn't what it use to be. Most of the arrests in the 7th Precinct are at the mall for shoplifting. Most of the perps are not from Massapequa..oh big surprise

Stop confusing preferred association with racism or bigotry.

Looks like the GA Mall is doing a lot better these days compared to that one. It's well kept and growing like crazy with new stores.

Yeah, the shoplifters from Massapequa are just way too smart to get caught like the other dopey schnooks!

Look for my pic in the "people of Walmart" website!

I have seen that website before. I have been in Walmarts out of NY and obviously, depending on the area, you will not see the dregs of the earth.

The problem in NY is that Walmart places their stores in areas that are not the best. They know that lower income people are their best customers up here. If you go out of state in some nicer areas the Walmarts do not attract low lifes.

Out of the NY area Walmarts are a very acceptable place to shop. Sometimes it is the only place to shop.

Hes been reading too much good government nonsense that tells him diversity is good for society. But you'll notice the elite billionaires who run the show don't practice what they preach.

Its one thing to want to live in an area where you have quite a few others that have a similar background, its a bit different when your criteria becomes an area that ONLY has those of a similar background. Plenty of good reasons exist why Massapequa is a good place to live, the its virtually all white, should not be one of those reasons.

I always thought GA was a nicer mall than Sunrise. Isn't Sunrise considered a "lesser" mall in terms of sales to the other Nassau malls? I think even Broadway out performs it.

The Walmart in question is, without a doubt, the worst Walmart I ever stepped foot in.
