Is Springfield really going down teh shitter....

[Feersty]

springfield ftl. Did you guys hear they may build a town center in springfield (near where the bob evans is now. I think they want to demolish the big office building thats there now). They also want to change springfield mall alot, I guess to be less ghetto. The article was in the washington post and one of the headlines was something like "changing springfield to a place people actually go to instead of avoid".

Yeah the problem is there are a lot of low income housing areas around there, and doesn't seem like it will ever be on the come up. I think throwing in a few expensive bars and clothing stores will do the trick. Springfield Mall is ghetto because kids from Prince George's County and DC come down here and commit crimes and have an easy out, I don't think it is upper middle class Springfield kids that live in Daventry stealing people's CD's and what have you.

I read the same article, they want a recognizable skyline in Springfield, but I don't see it happening.
