"Shopping centers have not always been excited about this 'hanging out.' As late as 1990, an article in Shopping Center Age interpreted this teen socialization mainly as loitering and discussed appropriate measures to deal with the apprehensions of merchants and other customers. Locating teen attractions in 'side malls' and corners of the plan, beefing up security and surveillance in the common areas adjacent to teen attractions, and banning unescorted youths on Friday and Saturday nights were some of the solutions."
