There has been recent reports from various businesses owners that Downtown Birmingham has become a hip cool hang out spot for hip cool skinny jean blurry haired mop top kids and teens. This action is causing adult life to leave and increase police presence in that area to prevent sudden violence at the Old Woodward/ 15 Mile [[ Maple Rd.) Corridor. Parents are to the blame for dropping their kids off in Downtown Birmingham until later even hours. Will the increase presence of kids and teens in Downtown Birmingham cause glamourous businesses to leave or will it be good thing to profitability to offset the recession.

Any thoughts?
