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.
