📰 News we're reading
• New Under-18 Policy Begins Today at Westfield Montgomery and Westfield Wheaton (mocoshow.com) — If you're heading to Westfield Wheaton, anyone under 18 now must be with a parent, guardian, or 21+ chaperone after 3 p.m. daily, following a summer shooting at the mall. Security will check IDs, limit each adult to four minors, and can ban repeat violators, while police step in only for trespassing or serious issues.
