Will they have armed police escorts in and out of the East for those of us who choose to not live in that war zone?

You can put the next full scale Disney Park there if you want. If you don't keep the parents from dropping off their dead beat kids to be baby sat it won't succeed. You can't scare off your money.

Just look at movie theaters. They are ticking time bombs when that trend starts to happen. A less desirable element comes in, not meaning black, and the people who would keep coming back with the money stop coming back.

None of this will ever happen.

They always find some toothless coonass for these stories.

I would like to keep filming at Six Flags, so I hope all of this falls through.

Jazzland was like $20 a day. The Zoo is almost that now. Disney is $97 a day. That will keep the trash out.
