Some parts of this page struck me as somewhat racially offensive. Maybe I'm reading to much into it, but specifically this part seems to be insinuating that a decline in the white population was the cause of a rise in crime: "The 2010 census revealed that Brooklyn Center had become the first Twin Cities community to have a plurality of white residents. Whites constitute just 49% of the population of the city, down from 71% in the year 2000. Over time, crime rates in the city increased and Brookdale became unsafe for families due to gang and drug activity." Asderfut 20:18, 27 November 2012 (CST)

Yikes. This page needs it badly. I counted a crapload of grammatical errors. Oh well, at least the info seems factual enough (albeit unreferenced). I fixed a few errors here and there (most notably the "it's"/"its" issues) but I may need some help. TenPoundHammer 12:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I do not understand why the current name of this article is Shingle Creek Crossing, the name of the former mall is called Brookdale Center or commonly referred to as Brookdale Mall. It was one of was part of "The Dales", what was referred to as the four "Dale" centers circling the Twin Cities. A good majority of the article is about Brookdale Center and its unique history. The current development which occupies the land of the former mall, which was demolished, is now referred to as Shingle Creek Crossing and consists of a Walmart, TJMaxx, LA Fitness and couple of other stores. They are brick-and-mortar stores and is not an enclosed shopping mall as it is more a commercial development with a branded name. The Shingle Creek Crossing section should be split off or the original Brookdale Center name should stick because to me it is misleading as they are different developments. A Newspapers.com search shows Brookdale Center and Brookdale Mall yielding significantly more results than Shingle Creek Crossing. TenPoundHammer, your thoughts?

There is a long standing precedent that shopping mall articles keep the current name if re-developed. Wonderland Village not Wonderland Mall, NetPark Tampa Bay not East Lake Square, Powerplex STL not St. Louis Mills, Silver Lake Village not Apache Plaza, Tri-City Pavilions not Tri-City Mall, The Loop (shopping center) not Methuen Mall, etc. The previous name can be retained as a {{ r from former name}}.
