We had a 48 lane center close a couple years ago. It was more about the changing neighborhood and problems with cars being broken into and stolen and gang activity in the area that was creating fear. As a result many leagues left and the closed the center. They gutted it and sold the equipment
I had a friend that got married and bought a house in South Holland around 1968. It used to be a real nice neighborhood for years. Then a bad element started moving in there
and things went downhill from there. Your right about the gangs taking hold there. That is getting to be common not only in the city of Chicago but in some of the suburbs. It
has to do a lot with drug sales. That's the way things go now unfortunately. Some businesses move out because of that.

It's a shame, but you can't blame them. Hopefully for every closing center, a new opens......but we know how it really is.Originally Posted by Hammer
