The Philadelphia Fashion District Mall just imposed a strict curfew because of the trouble teens are causing. Everyone under 18 has to be accompanied by an adult who is at least 23 after 2 pm daily. Those who are 18 must show proof of age. Terrible how these kids are acting.

There's a curfew for 18 and under city wide. They must be in by 10 pm.

I don't really want to bring race into this because we all know any teenager can be just as bad and destructive as any other kid if they take the notion. I think attitude has a lot more to do with it.

Chicago, Chicago that toddling town
Chicago, Chicago I will show you around
I love it that you bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down

What a wonderful city, eh? 
I think they got all excited thinking about that Democrat Party convention in 2024
