Ex-cons running rides, deep-fried meat products, rigged games, and sugar.

but right outside the mall?? For why?

Usually when a street fair is held there is a festival of some sort that goes along with it. Sometimes even a little advertising. They don't typicall just randomly show up in parking lots, do they?

...for potential business.

Yeah, probably just business...to attract people. My brother is the manager of MC Sports in the mall, and he often complains of the insane cost to do business there and of the east coast ownership trying to make it more a "high end" shopping experience...

So, I'm not surprised...

That's understandable. Just strange, no advertising for it.

I wouldn't think a carnival would help the "high end" image all that much.

That's what I was thinking... Sweaty, toothless, mullet-heads aren't likely to attract a "high end" type of crowd...

So, now we are saying that only sweaty, toothless, mullet-heads go to carnivals? Kids might enjoy it. I know that I'm always looking for something to take Parker to. If he was in town this weekend I would take him! And just for the record, I don't consider myself to be a sweaty, toothless, mullet-head.

I think he was referring to the carnies that work there.

ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. I'm pretty sure Dan was too. I mean have you seen the Carnies that work the rides at 3 Rivers? It'd take all day to count a full set of teeth.
