Is this true, and has it happened in other places? At least that's better than what's happened in Cleveland. (and a few other places from what I hear.) Some mall owners are not letting the Salvation Army in the mall or on mall property AT ALL!!! The reason, they claim, is if they let the S.A. solicit, they would have to let any and all organizations solicit on their property, or else be sued! There are, however, several "brave" malls, and you can just guess who will get my business if I can help it. ...mgnetp!ll1!cej Chuck Jones
