Fuck town centers. They're all the same: overpriced boring ass pretentious rich people stores that exist in all the other town centers and malls, and occassionally movie theaters catering to entitled assholes who have to have reserved seating rather than suffering the consequences of coming late so that now people who are early are punished and people who are late rewarded.
Springfield Mall was a fun place to go in the early-mid 90s. There were stores that actually sold things you could buy and would want, or at least look at if you couldn't buy. Before the crime went through the roof it was a fun place to hang out at and walk around.
Even when the crime was rampant and half the stores gone they still offered trick-or-treating for the kids (no crime incidents happened), something town centers and pretentious ass malls like Little Israel-Persia Tysons can't be bothered to do because they only care about money.
Fuck town centers, and rich entitled assholes. Next they'll be claiming a town center is a human right because people don't know what "human rights" means, and the rich people will be all, "I can't live without a Papyrus every other 5 miles because I don't know when I'll need to get invitations for my whore parties!"
