Attention Granada Hills Parents: It's All YOUR Fault

Northridge Fashion Center is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and it's all Granada Hills' fault -- at least according to one GigaGranadaHills reader who hates our children:

Some of you parents in G.H. have been dropping off your children at the Northridge mall on Friday nights. I understand that you think it is O.K., but it just is not.
The Mall is in chapter 11 and will never get out of is if all people see are screming little kids all night.

Two years ago, that would have been O.K.,but the mall is now looking for a buyer and can not find one as it is known as the 'kids mall.'

There are many other aspects to this subject, one being if you drop two hundred teens in one area with no adults, what do you think they are going to do?

Two, can you take care you them? I work at the Mall, and would hate to see my place closed down because you do not want to spend time with your kid on Friday nights. We are not talking about older kids, these are mostly Junior High kids.

Please, G.H., invite all those kids you think its so great for your kid to be around all night to YOUR house.If it is such a great idea and the mall kids are so safe and nice, have them over you YOUR house.



You see, the teenagers of Northridge would never run around a mall "screming." It's those Granada Hills types that cause all of the trouble. You hear that, Granada Hills parents? Stop dropping off two hundred teens at the mall on Friday nights. Our reader makes it very clear: "Have them over you your house."

    NFC is NOT for sale.

    None of the General Growth, the mall's owner, properties are for sale. At least not yet.

    They are working with the lenders to extend loans.

    For now, they are not accepting offers and they have not begun a sales process on ANY of the 116 malls they took into bankruptcy protection.

    Getting a loan when 80% of your properties are 'in hock' is needed but not a solution. Sure, you guys need the loan, but you would only be paying the interest and may never get out of the red. Even in a restructuring following the chapter 11 hearings, it is hard to see how one would get out of the hole without selling the Vagas properties and some others that are not doing well.N.F.C. is doing well thanks to managment keeping the stores full and never giving up, but what may make more logic is to market the people across the street from the mall instead of their children.
    Many of G.G.P. properties already have an 'escort policy' and that would really be a drag to have, but may be needed. An even better sollution would, of cousre, be to stop dropping off your tween at the darkest part of the mall at night. Stop dropping them off period. Be with them.It is not just G.H., everyone is complaining about P.R. too as well as other places. I think that try as one might, I do not think they can come up with a good reason for not spending time with their kid instead of dropping them off to some trangers consisting of janitors, store workers and staff. There may be a case for valley tweens trying to have some fun because it is so boring. But look at exactly what they are doing. Go there and stay in front of the movie theateres on a friday night. I dare you. You will see your kids, not all, making fun of the janitors, spitting on them, dancing on roftops, go to youtube under 'jerk', throwing things, causeing a fire hazaerd and acting like they are somehow very near a guetto. Please, take care of your own kids.

    I agree, why are all those twelve year olds there without their parents?

Mike Spasoff is a tireless servant to this community -- at least for a few months out of the year -- and that's good enough for me. It's also more than good enough for the 600 trick-or-treaters he delights and terrifies with the elaborate, Disney-rivaling, pirate-themed yard display at his house on San Fernando Mission Boulevard (near Shoshone). When I was a kid, I used to always wish someone in the neighborhood would do something beyond carving a pumpkin. Fortunately, kids in Mike's neighborhood will never have to cope with that same unfulfilled sense of longing that I always had. What makes you want to invest the time, money, and resources into such an elaborate production? I can remember the magic of walking the streets of our neighborhood each Halloween and the excitement of finding a house that did something more than just a jack-o-lantern or a cardboard skeleton. My parents and I always made a special effort to do something extra but it wasn't until we moved to

Thoughts on Joe's Cafe and cancel culture

On June 1, 2020, the date when people planned to gather in Granada Hills to protest George Floyd's killing, fearful rumors began flying early. The protest was certain to be violent. The claims that it was planned as a "peaceful" protest was certain to be cover for looters. Some started spreading the rumor that "the organizers have cancelled the event," presumably with the hope of making that come true.  I spent that afternoon trying to debunk the myths that seemed designed to suppress the event from happening. Myth debunking has, at times during 2020, seemed like a full-time job for me, starting with my pointless and overmatched efforts to argue with "the pandemic is a liberal hoax" theorists. I still find it difficult to believe that my pleas for evidence-based reasoning would so often be dismissed as radical.  Yet I stubbornly cling to my insistence that without evidence to support them, beliefs are worthless.  On social media, I pled with fear-sprea

Even XXX Stars Need TLC

"I've never watched a pornographic movie in my life," says Bobi, genial lab tech at the modest, quiet office of AIM Health Care on shady White Oak Avenue. When I press her, incredulous that someone who works in a health care office that caters to the needs of adult film actors has never been exposed to that industry's primary product, she sticks by her story. "They did have one on at my bachelorette party, but I didn't really look at it, and now you couldn't pay me to watch one. I know everyone in the industry, and it would almost be like watching a video of my kids having sex. I wouldn't want to do that." When she puts it that way, it makes sense. Bobi tells me that some clients of the clinic even refer to her as "Mom," and when I overhear her soothing a nervous patient on the phone ("Don't worry honey; chlamydia is a bacterial infection and it can be cured with medicines") I understand why. It's actually rathe
