OK, there's no ball, but Bannister Mall is getting a new post-apocalyptic look.

First off you are a hypocritical scared racist. Black aren’t the problem with these areas its you the punk scared ignorant white sup remises, that are always harassing black men and women because you now were better than you in all ways. We are better than you because we live in poverty even thought we work harder than you, now more than you, and have better morals than you, but we don’t go blaming bad things that happen on the “white man” and how he wrecked the thing we liked do we: No we don’t do that because were better than the hypocritical scared racist that is to scared to put his name on the most ignorant comment of all time.

Thank God they're tearing that eyesore down. The lesson to be learned from the Bannister Mall experience? Don't run a bus line from 55th and Prospect to a major shopping area, and expect it to live. No matter what anybody says, blacks killed Bannister Mall - why would you want to go get pushed around by groups of ten black punks, when you could just go to Ward Parkway, or Oak Park mall? Next community to learn this lesson? Belton...millions in tax dollars to subsidize new retail outlets along 58 hwy, and people in the area already saying that they do their shopping in Lee's Summit or Raymore because the Belton shopping centers are being taken over by blacks (where the hell are they coming from, anyway? Grandview?). Oh, yeah, feel free to call me a racist. I grew up in KCK in the 80s and saw what the blacks did to Indian Springs; moved to South KC in the 90s and saw what they did to Bannister/Grandview, and I'm now watching them do the same thing in Belton. Their like a damn infestation of locusts.

Ah, Bannister Mall. I remember when it was the nice *new* mall. I worked at Sears there all through college. Farewell, long-outdated shopping experience!
