The same exact thing happened last month in Virginia, right down to the umbrella guy calling up police after he'd left, unaware of the commotion. One key difference: He wasn't packing a ninja umbrella:

Of course, Umbrella Guy showed Caldwell his umbrella. The detective described it as a large, black umbrella with a brown wooden handle. It was a like a large, black golf umbrella, without the company logo, Caldwell said.

What happened to the food court at the Burlington Mall?

DJDiva reports from what sounds like the aftermath of a food war:

... Where did all the 'restaurants' go? The whole thing is boarded up shops. It looks like a mall 4 days before it closes forever over there. My hope is that they are trying to clean it up, put in some healthy options (bring back fresh city!) and make it look better for the launch of the new Nordstrom wing. ...

With bonus rantage about the Macy's and other stores there (but with kind words for the Mac stores and Legal Seafood).
