What’s New at Kaleidoscope? Letter to the editor
When reading the Aug. 13 OC Register, some people may have missed the story about Mission Viejo’s Kaleidoscope on page 4 of the front-page section. It’s unusual to see a local story mixed in with world news.
Kaleidoscope wasn’t a popular place in the beginning, but it’s becoming a destination with wonderful restaurants. Bristol Farms is a fabulous store with quality selections in all departments and helpful employees.
The entertainment businesses are attracting customers, but attention is needed for Howie’s Game Shack. With the Register’s description of 100 young people in line to participate, one can see it’s a popular place. Young people need supervision, and they shouldn’t be wandering in and out of other businesses. The story mentioned installing cameras, which will help, but the center’s owners need to get to the root of the problem. If other shops are impacted by Howie’s Game Shack, the property owner has an obligation to them in the form of a contract. Teens learn quickly when a mall lets them know it’s a no-nonsense zone.
I’m looking forward to my next visit to Kaleidoscope where all ages can enjoy the range of offerings at this happening place. The Register mentioned a restaurant in Kaleidoscope, Riptide Rockin’ Sushi, which the owner spent $2 million to open. It sounds worth checking out
