The Day: Atlantic Terminal Teen Ban
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Mitchell Trinka
Is Bruce Ratner getting tough on crime? Or just picking on kids?
Lastly, we heard about minors being turned away from the Atlantic Terminal mall yesterday. Brooklyn Technical High School students were told they need to be accompanied by someone at least 21 years old to enter the mall. For some students at the high school the ban seems unwarranted, and it prevents them from using a student government card that gives discounts at many stores in the mall. Which gives us an idea: We’ve always heard that to go to Chuck E. Cheese’s at Atlantic Terminal you need to have a minor in tow. Sometimes, even as an adult, you just want some skeeball and pizza. Maybe we can set up a Local exchange program pairing teens and childlike adults?
