What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
The curfew is said to be due to “awareness of social media posts referencing a potential unauthorized gathering on Saturday, May 9.”<\/p>\n
The mall’s media alert continues with the following:<\/p>\n
“Any unauthorized gathering or event to disrupt the shopping environment will not be tolerated. \u00a0Our priority is to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors, retail partners, and the surrounding community. We are working closely with local authorities\u00a0and have implemented additional measures to support a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone who visits Memorial City Mall.”<\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
Representatives for the mall did not share other details about the alleged “gathering.”<\/p>\n
Other curfews, rules <\/p>\n
Big picture view:<\/p>\n
Other businesses in the Greater Houston area have made temporary rules for minors due to reports of planned events.<\/p>\n
