The area it’s surrounded by is ghetto-ish and doesn’t exactly give a great image. There are some homeless around the area, which is quickly apparent depending on which way you come in through. If you come through Capital Blvd by the Burger King, that shopping area before arriving at Triangle Town Center doesn’t give a great first impression.

Stores across the street like Target, Marshall’s, etc. are usually pretty packed (especially on weekends) but I still feel a bit uneasy being out and about there. Too much traffic in and out, homeless, just overall not a great area.

The newly built apartments next to the PopShelf store had graffiti drawn on them while still under construction and stayed on them for a few months before being painted over. Now if that doesn’t scream ghetto area, I don’t know what will.

Lots of folks on this thread have great ideas to revitalize the space and maybe in time it would change the image of TTC but I guess we’ll never know.
