I wonder how they will enforce this.

WATER TOWER PLACE IMPOSES 'PARENTAL GUIDANCE REQUIRED' RULES FOR TEENS

Thursday, January 03, 2019 04:36PM

CHICAGO - Water Tower Place announced new rules Thursday that will require teenagers to be accompanied by adults while at the mall on Friday and Saturday evenings.

The "Parental Guidance Required" program, which starts on Friday, will require anyone age 17 and under to be accompanied by a "parent or supervising adult who is at least 21 years old" after 4 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, according to a statement from Water Tower Place's parent company, Brookfield Properties.


"In an effort to eliminate disruptive behavior by unsupervised youth, we made the difficult decision to implement a curfew program at Water Tower Place," Senior General Manager Mitch Feldman said in the statement. "The PGR program is intended to help provide a safe, peaceful experience at our shopping center."

During the program's hours, "trained public safety officers will be stationed at all Water Tower Place entrances to check IDs of visitors who appear to be 17 years old or younger," mall officials wrote in the statement. One adult will be allowed to accompany up to four teenagers, although there will be no limit on the number of children 10 and under that can be accompanied by a single adult.

Adults who show their IDs at the entrance will be offered an "optional wristband," but those who don't wear it "may be asked for ID again by safety officers inside the shopping center," officials said.


Announcements will be made throughout the shopping center starting at 3 p.m. ahead of the program's start each Friday and Saturday.

"We are fully supportive of our community partner and commend their decision to enforce a PGR program," Ald. Brian Hopkins (22nd) said in the statement. "We believe this will help benefit the entire community."

I'm sure it made sense at the time to build a suburban mall in the city when downtown retail was losing ground to the suburbs. Now the suburban malls have lost ground to the internet.

As a child of malls (miss u Randhurst!), I'll miss them when they're gone, even if they were "bad" in a lot of respects. I hope we think of something useful to do with the space. Maybe Hawthorn or Stratford can become a Star Wars museum.

If the mobs of black teens would stop beating the shit out of people down there they wouldn’t have to enact a policy . Of course, the media doesn’t seem to want to cover that.

Out at Yorktown they are building a gigantic old folks complex. I expect similar things to happen at other malls.

Just illustrates my original point that the media has been reporting this stuff. I learned about this behavior from the Newsmedia. MANY have also. Flash mob stuff has been out for several years now. Not a secret.

Something has to be done for safety concerns. This high security trend will be more widespread. Hopefully more minors charged as adults, more felony convictions, more prisons built. Passive approach isn't working.
