What I mean is B R isn't as safe as it was when I was growing up. We could ride our bikes all over and not have to worry about shite. There was plenty of movie theatres that also had arcades in them, plus arcades in the mall. And plenty of other stuff to do for teenagers.

Now, it's not a really great time for kids to roam around on their bikes like we were able to. The only place they really have anything worth a damn for kids/teenagers is off Sherwood with quarters and that laser tag place. There's just less places for kids to go to have good fun, which leaves the door open for other things. I don't know, maybe there is stuff, I'm just not looking for it but it seems like most things for younger people to have good fun at have left B R. I think this place would have been a good place for that age group, but now they've scrapped their plans.

Not to mention all the BREC parks where kids can play any kind of sport or that big baseball complex at Nicholson and Gardere. And the nice Goodwood Library that has all kinds of events - they even screen movies there.

Yep. It's called the Mayor Broome effect.
The decline is expected to last 4 years.

As I recall, during the mid-90's the North Mall Dr/South Mall Dr circle off Siegen was supposedly a possible spot for Mall of Louisiana before it was settled on its location off Bluebonnet. Cinemark scooped up the Tinseltown spot and was locked in to that location and then the mall never materialized there.

So fast forward 20 years, the company was basically stuck there until Perkins Rowe development started. They did pretty much the same thing - scooped up the Perkins Rowe spot early and shut down Tinseltown. It wasn't based on Tinseltown not being profitable or anything like that. Cinemark was planning to move locations ever since the first plans for Perkins Rowe started coming out around 2003ish.

dave and busters was cool
