Memorial City Mall Announces Temporary Teen Curfew This Weekend

Management at Memorial City Mall is announcing a temporary youth curfew this weekend.  The curfew will be in effect on Saturday from 10 a.m. through closing, and on Sunday from 11 a.m. through closing.  Anybody under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or supervising adult age 21 or older.  Security will check IDs at entrances, and unaccompanied minors won’t be allowed in.  The curfew is in response to social media buzz about a large unauthorized gathering of teens at the mall this weekend.  Willowbrook Mall took similar steps last week.

Colbert Interviews Obama At New Obama Center

Former President Barack Obama has given his first interview at the new Obama Presidential Center.  The 19-acre campus is set to open next month on Chicago’s South Side.  This week, he gave an interview at the center to “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert, who will be ending his CBS show later this month.  In the interview that aired Tuesday night, Colbert brought up a recent comment Obama made that aliens are real, but that he hasn’t seen them.  The former president dispelled the notion that the government has “little green men underground somewhere,” and said “one of the things you learn as president is government is terrible at keeping secrets.” 

Obama also weighed in on suggestions that Colbert consider a run for president, saying he thinks he could probably do “significantly better than some folks that we’ve seen.”
