The Maryland Commission on Civil Rights is looking into whether Towson Town Center’s new curfew policy could be considered age discrimination. There is also a concern that it targets people of color, according to a Baltimore Sun article.
Earlier this week the mall announced a policy, set to start Sept. 16, that after 5:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, kids 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or someone over 21.
The White Marsh Mall, which, like Towson Town Center, is owned by General Growth Properties, does not have a curfew policy. The Avenue at White Marsh has a 9 p.m. curfew every day, as does Hunt Valley Towne Centre.
It is always something. There is a reason WHY this move was necessary. I live behind the Mall and this change is necessary not only for inside the Mall but outside the Mall too.
