This. I grew up in Ellicott City and we had the Chatham Mall nearby, anchored by a K-mart and a Caldor. I remember my mom didn't really like shopping in either store, and as soon as the Long Gate shopping center was built in the mid-90s with a Target, that's where we shopped, lol. Target has always felt like a much nicer store, even if it sells the same kind of product.

Yeah right. Been living here 30+ years. People are full of shit. Locals keep killing others all the time. What a joke. Only thing that will stop the criminals is giving them millions for “reparations” so they have motivation to stop shooting up their neighborhood with illegal guns. Will keep reading the news as the rats eat up their dead bodies.

As much as I wish this were true, the only thing that will convince me is the homicide rate going down. As the author directly says, more study is needed. All the collegiate studies in the world won't change the body count, or that certain locations are hardly ever open.

Of course Sinclair45 hasn't said anything about this though. Doesn't fit the narrative.

I remember the Caldor, but calling this area “Timonium Mall” is definitely before my time. It was Yorkridge Shopping Center, and it had a movie theater, Circuit City, and The Charred Rib.
