The new Watters Creek shopping center in Allen has set a curfew for anyone 16 and under at 7 p.m. to cut down on teenagers using the mall as a hangout. Teens will still be allowed to shop and eat in the restaurants, but anyone underage loitering will be asked to leave.

So you're saying students are just going to hang out in the restaurants instead of in the parking lot? Solid move, peeps!

Well, guess it's a bit presumptuous to call them students...especially if their hangout is an outdoor mall parking lot.

"Hoodlums" more appropriate? Shiftless layabouts? Scallywags?

RT1975, looks like the rule is that if you're spending money, you're not considered to be loitering. But if you're just hanging out outside, they're gonna kick you out.

So you have to do your hanging-out inside an actual store, poking a piece of merchandise with a thoughtful look on your face every few minutes?

Surprised they didn't just install those horrible shrill whistles that only youngins can hear and flip 'em on after 7.

Methinks you can stuff some crackers in your maw once every half hour at a restaurant and be fine.

Crazy whippersnappers!

Teens should be at home and doing their maths.

Yeah, swanky is definitely the first thing that comes to mind when I hear 'Allen'.
