it means, there is a lot of gangs walking around the mall sizing each other up. don't try to give me crap about racism, i grew up in the ghetto.

Hello, Fluffy, relax, my asking you to define your choice of words

was not meant as a challenge. Keep in mind that not all of us readers

are young and hip.

Some of us are 49-year-old women who used to be young and hip,

but sometimes desire clarification. It appears using 'ghetto' as

slang to describe clientele may have become common usage,

but to older ears it sounds like something else.

It's been 25 years since I've worked at Woodland Mall as a store

manager. And I currently live in a neighborhood that my Jenison

friends refer to as the ghetto. I'm sorry to hear about gangs roaming

the malls especially if it results in intimidation and crime.

I most certainly am not giving you "crap about racism" as that issue

deserves real and honest discussion, not slings and arrows.

I hear some anger in your response that betrays an attitude -

however, since these things are almost impossible to interpret

without voice and tone, I am probably wrong.

So I will try to assume nothing, and just politely thank you for

your definition.

Peace.

I also was told by a Marshall Field's employee that they are being bought out by Macy's (old news to this forum probably).

I think the Woodland Mall with its renovations in the past is a very nice shopping center and am glad to hear the REIT buying it is on the upscale side. The last thing we need is another Centerpointe dump. . . . .

I loved jayblogger's memories of the mall . . . I too have very many . . in fact perhaps jayblogger was one of the male retail clerks we would oogle over as teens . . . hee hee :shades:

I knew I should have been paying more attention to the girls who came into the store :shades:

I expanded on these memories in my new blog last night. And I've got the blurry pix to prove it.
