One More Place to Open Your Business

Reynold George Samuel, 39 and 7 others were charge with selling drugs and pirated DVDs out of the downtown mall store, Sexshuns. Sexshuns is an apparel and shoe store located on the Pavilion side of the mall. When police raided the store they found guns and numerous illegal drugs. Reynold is not aloud to have a gun since he is a felon, but that didn’t stop him from having 4 guns in his store. He had a large amount of drugs which carries a life sentence for violating his probation if he is convicted.

This probably means that yet another store on the downtown mall will be vacant. It seems like there are more vacant shops lately and we’re still expanding the mall out further. Now since the Mole Hole changed locations there are two vacant spaces next to each other. Construction workers are hard at work everyday on the old hardware store, but the window still displays a For Lease sign. Kiki was just bought back by the original owner, Michael Fitzgerald, I’m excited to see what he does with it now. I liked the panini and breakfast spot that was there in the afternoon too, but the guy that did that moved away. Everything was always so fresh and tasted great, it just never caught on for some reason. My personal favorite was the pesto and ham panini, it was warm and toasty and was the perfect lunch size. We need some more restaurants on the downtown mall to enjoy this summer. I think we need more restaurants with outdoor seating because those always bring a crowd on summer nights. Maybe a Mexican place right on the mall?
