It's just that simple. there were "Scary types" hanging around all over especially in the food court.. My prediction has been, and still remains that St. Louis County and St. Louis City will be one in the same before 2025.. It's shameful, but this steep decline is the direct result of Gov't officials who insist on stopping progress and turning a blind eye to trouble brewing..

There are two that stand out. 1) The stores catered to a particular crowd, a crowd that traditionally brings trouble with it. 2) The bus line needed to go! Just take a look at what happened to the St. Louis Mills once the bus line was introduced! I hate to sound like a racist bigot, however facts are facts people! Sorry, chicken bones in the parking lot and pants on the ground are not going to attract a crowd that is willing to spend money to bring the tax dollars in needed to keep the mall alive!

NWP got a bad rap when it was highly published that it was dangerous. I continued to shop there by myself, and not a young person, and never encountered any danger any time of day or night! Never saw a gang or any violence or anything remotely close to that type of activity. They should have had a PR person to counter the bad press and the mall would still be alive! Look forward to its future. Love to see this turn into something. NWP got a bad rap when it was highly published that it was dangerous.
