Re:lunchtime at SHS - how pathetic - 2008/04/07 18:22
I think letting the kids hang out at the commons causes 2 potential problems;
1. Detterents to people who actually support the businesses there. People don't want to play dodge the teenager or be harassed by anyone. Some of the kids who hang out are pretty vocal about others getting in "their" way. If people who actually spend money at the businesses at the commons stop going there, they will close. Rumor has it that Borders may be closing.
2. Liability issues. If teenagers are wandering in the parking lot there's a potential for one to get hit by a car.
Whatever happened to kids hanging out at home? Oh, wait! That's what we did in the dark ages. I guess we weren't that cool. Thank goodness my kids never felt the need to hang out at the commons.
